Changwon City Hall, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam will conduct the '2022 Changwon Special City Chungmu Drill' for four days from the 17th to the 20th to establish a regional emergency preparedness posture through verifying the effectiveness of the emergency preparedness plan and mastering the implementation procedures.

This drill will be conducted throughout Changwon Special City, involving civilian, government, military, and police participation in resource mobilization training (technical personnel, vehicles, construction machinery) and actual drills for responding to and recovering from terrorist attacks on nationally important facilities. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety and central government agencies will form inspection and verification teams to oversee the process.

The main training contents include ▲ verification of the effectiveness and connectivity of the emergency preparedness plan ▲ mastering wartime resource mobilization procedures and completing mobilization readiness ▲ conducting practical emergency preparedness drills considering regional characteristics.

On the first and second days of the drill, pre-inspections such as checking the Chungmu plan and other emergency preparedness plans to confirm emergency preparedness capabilities, as well as the management status of mobilized and stockpiled materials, will be conducted.

The technical personnel mobilization training on the second day is conducted to enhance the response rate of mobilization targets and improve mission performance capabilities, thereby strengthening the effectiveness of emergency personnel mobilization. The vehicle and construction machinery mobilization training on the third day will verify the procedures for delivery and acceptance and the ability to handle mobilization tasks by checking the suitability of mobilized vehicles and construction machinery requested by military units according to their intended use.

On the fourth day of the drill, at Doosan Enerbility, a nationally important facility, over 100 personnel from civilian, government, military, police, and fire departments, along with 22 pieces of equipment including fire trucks and 18 other types, will be mobilized to conduct counter-terrorism and damage recovery drills for scenarios involving explosive terrorist attacks and fires at nationally important facilities. The drills include suppressing terrorists, guiding evacuations, rescuing lives, extinguishing fires, and emergency recovery activities.

Yoon Deok-hee, Director of Safety General Affairs, said, “I hope this Chungmu Drill, conducted through major resource mobilization training and actual counter-terrorism and damage recovery drills, will serve as an opportunity to comprehensively review and supplement the effectiveness of the Chungmu plan.” He added, “We will continue to do our best to establish a regional emergency preparedness posture so that all citizens can live happily and safely in Changwon Special City.”
