Heatwave, at least 2.2 days longer than average... Ulsan Office of Education operates a dedicated team for summer heatwave preparedness
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education is organizing a dedicated team to prepare for the summer heatwave.
Due to climate change, the average summer temperature is gradually rising, and this year the number of heatwave days is expected to increase by at least 2.2 days compared to the average year.
The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has formed a dedicated team consisting of 21 staff members from six departments, including the Safety General Division, Elementary Education Division, and Secondary Education Division.
The dedicated team is revising guidelines by sector and preparing to respond in case of disasters.
Schools have been provided with step-by-step action plans to follow when heatwave advisories or heatwave warnings are issued.
Considering weather conditions, schools will promptly decide on adjusting school start and end times, remote classes, and school closures, and will quickly inform students and parents of any changes.
Each school will maintain appropriate indoor temperatures during summer and operate air conditioners flexibly according to the status of heatwave advisories.
In connection with Safety Inspection Day, schools will conduct pre-inspections of aging cooling facilities and electrical equipment, and check food service facilities and utensils to prevent food poisoning.
Students and staff will be educated on disaster-specific action guidelines and receive training in disaster safety.
Along with heatwave measures, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has also established a plan to prevent water play safety accidents and has informed schools accordingly.
Considering infectious disease situations and local conditions, theoretical, practical, and indoor experiential education on elementary survival swimming will be provided to all elementary grades to help students develop the ability to protect themselves in emergencies.
Water play safety education focusing on safety rules and accident response will be intensively conducted for kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school students before the summer vacation.
