Postal Deliveries Expand Public Role with Welfare Checks and Statistical Surveys

The Korean Postal Service has expanded its public role as a 'last-mile' provider for national administrative services, transitioning from disaster response to ongoing welfare and administrative support. Through revised laws and partnerships, postal workers now conduct welfare checks, deliver essential supplies, and assist in national surveys. Initiatives like radon mattress collection, pandemic mask distribution, and care kit deliveries demonstrate its role in crisis management. New programs include welfare mail services, elderly meal deliveries, and support for disabled veterans, while collaboration with government agencies enhances efficiency in statistical surveys and urban renewal projects.
