Nowon-gu Conducts Civil Defense Training Online

Regardless of years of service, all training replaced by 1-hour online remote education... Training completion recognized upon submission of blood donation certificate

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) will replace this year's civil defense training with non-face-to-face online education.

Civil defense education has been conducted as group training for 1st to 4th-year members and emergency assembly training for those with 5 or more years. The district will conduct all civil defense education online without distinction of years to prevent the spread of local infections, as it was suspended due to COVID-19.

The target audience is 31,000 civil defense members residing in Nowon-gu.

The education period is from September 1 to November 30. Without time or location restrictions, participants can access the 'Civil Defense Cyber Education' by clicking on the Nowon-gu Office website or by searching for 'Smart Civil Defense Education' on the internet via PC or smartphone.

The education content includes the duties and roles of civil defense members, basic civil defense systems, life rescue and first aid during disaster situations, and COVID-19 infectious disease response. After completing the 1-hour cyber education, scoring over 70 points on the evaluation will be considered as completion of the education.

For 1st to 4th-year civil defense members, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 local infections, this year only, the education will be conducted via cyber education. It should be noted that if the cyber education is not completed, the education year will not be advanced.

The district will also conduct written education separately for civil defense members who have difficulty participating in online education. Detailed information will be separately notified to the target individuals.

To alleviate the difficulty in blood supply caused by COVID-19, members who participate in blood donation will be considered as having completed the education. Those individuals should submit proof of blood donation to the local community service center.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “It is very important to practice social distancing and quarantine rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” and added, “We will do our best to operate so that all members can safely receive the education.”
