[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 2nd that the 'National Safety Service App' for preventing solitary deaths among single-person households was selected as a '2021 Resident Life Innovation Case' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and received the Innovation Champion Certification Plaque.

The Resident Life Innovation Case is a project by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety aimed at collecting and analyzing excellent local cases and spreading them to other local governments, supporting local governments that wish to adopt them.

The 'National Safety Service App' developed by Hapcheon-gun can be used by anyone with a mobile phone at no additional cost.

If the mobile phone is not used for a certain period of time, it immediately notifies multiple pre-registered guardians of the current location via text message, providing a nationwide safety service.

Also, the 'National Safety Service App' poses no risk of personal information exposure, and the app installation and usage are simple.

County Governor Moon Jun-hee said, "I hope that the self-developed 'National Safety Service App' will contribute to preventing social issues such as solitary deaths and missing person incidents, so that the public will not have to hear sad news."

Meanwhile, Hapcheon-gun distributed the source code free of charge so that more than 50 local governments nationwide, including Seoul, Suseong-gu in Daegu, and Michuhol-gu in Incheon, can use the service under their own local government names, citing that it can be utilized by other local governments without the introduction of separate equipment.
