Gwangju Seo-gu Conducts 'National Disaster Response Safe Korea Drill'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) has been conducting the '2021 Disaster Response Safety Korea Drill' from the 26th to the 28th.

According to Seo-gu on the 27th, the annual national disaster response Safety Korea Drill was conducted as a combined drill including on-site and discussion training until 2019. However, last year, it was replaced with non-face-to-face education to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to manage and recover from heavy rain and typhoon damage.

This drill is focused on discussion training considering the COVID-19 response situation, targeting mixed-use residential buildings in the district, simulating disaster situations such as large fires and collapses for rapid initial response, operating the regional disaster safety countermeasure headquarters, and strengthening the disaster response system through cooperation with related organizations.

Seo-gu plans to continuously promote self-training for multi-use facilities in the district and public action guidelines to improve the public's disaster coping ability until the end of next month.

An official from Seo-gu Office said, "We will do our best to ensure the safety of residents during the training period so that a well-organized disaster response matrix organization can be formed in the event of a disaster."
