[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yong-chul] On the 20th, Jeonnam Boseong-gun announced that it was selected as an excellent institution for two consecutive years in the '2019 Disaster Response Safety Korea Training Evaluation' conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, receiving high praise for establishing an organic cooperation system with related organizations and groups and for the county governor directly commanding the training, which was conducted like an actual disaster situation.

The 'Disaster Response Safety Korea Training' is conducted to diagnose the status of disaster response administration with the purpose of strengthening the nationwide disaster preparedness system. A total of 242 institutions nationwide, including central government ministries, metropolitan cities and provinces, city and county districts, and public institutions, participate.

Last year, Boseong-gun selected the training type as 'landslide' at Jeamsan Natural Recreation Forest located in Ungchi-myeon and conducted on-site training with 17 organizations and groups including the Korea Forest Service, Boseong Police Station, Boseong Fire Station, and about 300 residents.

During the training period, the county received favorable reviews for conducting fire evacuation drills at facilities used by safety-vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children who are vulnerable to disaster evacuation, as well as at private multi-use facilities, and for strengthening the response capabilities of disaster-vulnerable people by having a joint inspection team conduct facility inspections, providing a training method that residents could feel.

Kim Cheol-woo, Governor of Boseong-gun, said, “Being selected as an excellent institution in the Safety Korea Training for two consecutive years following last year is a great achievement of the active training by related organizations and residents and the participation of residents.” He added, “We will continue to strengthen the organic cooperation system and do our best to create a safe Boseong-gun that can respond quickly even in actual disaster situations.”
