[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Ahead of the nationwide emergency preparedness drill '2022 Eulji Exercise,' Gyeonggi Province urged residents on the 10th to widely use the 'Safe Stepping Stone' app and other tools to quickly check emergency action guidelines and evacuation facility locations.

Residents can check action guidelines for emergencies, natural and social disasters, and daily safety situations through the 'National Disaster Safety Portal' and the 'Safe Stepping Stone' app.

The province especially emphasized that "residents of border areas within Gyeonggi Province, such as Gimpo, Paju, and Yeoncheon, should familiarize themselves with the usual resident action guidelines and evacuation facility locations."

Within the province, there are 77 government-supported resident evacuation facilities and 3,703 public resident evacuation facilities designated. Detailed locations and routes can be checked through the 'National Disaster Safety Portal.'

Since the government mobile disaster safety information app 'Safe Stepping Stone' provides the same services, residents can respond quickly from obtaining various disaster information to evacuation anytime and anywhere.

The province plans to conduct the '2022 Eulji Exercise' for four days from the 22nd to the 25th, involving civilians, government, and military, carrying out evacuation drills assuming full-scale war, local provocations, and disaster situations, as well as spreading resident action guidelines.

The province added, "Due to the increasing instability of recent domestic and international security situations such as the Ukraine crisis, North Korea's missile launches, and cross-strait conflicts, the importance of establishing emergency preparedness systems such as civil defense has grown."

Won Jin-hee, Emergency Planning Officer, urged residents to participate, saying, "Knowing the location of nearby evacuation facilities and resident action guidelines is the easiest and most efficient way to save your and your family's lives in an emergency."
