He convened the 22nd emergency enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea on train and set forth important tasks and ways for recovering from damage as soon as possible. Then, he went round the makeshift tents, in which the flood victims were living temporarily, in the sweltering hot weather and took a special measure so that the children, students, the elderly and others from the flood-hit areas were under the state protection in the capital city Pyongyang without any worries in the rehabilitation period.
