[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) has completed the establishment of the 'Yangcheon-gu Business Continuity Plan' to ensure the maintenance of core functions by each department and the securing of alternative facilities and equipment in the event of disasters and crisis situations.

The Yangcheon-gu Business Continuity Plan consists of measures to minimize damage to core functions caused by disasters, rapid recovery strategies, identification of core functions by department, analysis of required resources, procedures for continuity, establishment of emergency organizational systems and assignment of tasks to employees, as well as periodic education, training, and improvement measures to ensure the plan's effectiveness.

Based on the 'Framework Act on the Management of Disasters and Safety' and completed according to the guidelines set by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Yangcheon-gu finalized the plan on the 20th of last month after establishing it in February this year, holding the first discussion meeting, departmental subcommittee meetings, and TF review sessions.

Notably, the Yangcheon-gu Business Continuity Plan is remarkable for being the first among 226 local governments nationwide to be directly developed using its own capabilities.

Furthermore, it assumes various types of social disasters including natural disasters such as typhoons, heavy rains, and earthquakes, as well as infectious diseases and cyber terrorism, establishing core functions that can provide uninterrupted administrative services even in crisis situations.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, emphasized, “Unexpected disaster situations can occur at any time. We will adapt to the ever-changing diverse environmental changes and establish business continuity that can recover at any time after disaster situations end. According to this Business Continuity Plan, we will strengthen our crisis response capabilities by establishing evaluation and improvement systems through annual education and training.”
