2019 Safe Korea Exercise

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jongno-gu (District Mayor Jeong Munheon) will conduct the '2022 Disaster Response Safe Korea Drill' for two weeks from November 14 to 25 to inspect the district's disaster response system in preparation for large-scale disaster situations.

The Disaster Response Safe Korea Drill is a comprehensive exercise aimed at protecting citizens' lives and property from various disasters such as fires. Since 2005, it has been conducted annually based on real-life scenarios to strengthen national disaster response capabilities and promote a culture of safety.

The main exercise on November 18 will be a discussion and field drill assuming a 'large building fire.' It is an inter-agency integrated drill involving nine related organizations including Jongno Fire Station, Jongno and Hyehwa Police Stations, Korea Gas Safety Corporation Seoul Western Branch, Korea Electrical Safety Corporation Seoul Regional Headquarters, and the Korean Red Cross, as well as ten private companies and groups such as Hyundai Engineering, Seoul National University Hospital, KT Gwanghwamun Branch, Safety Security Officers, and the Autonomous Disaster Prevention Group.

Additionally, during the Safe Korea Drill period, the district plans to conduct joint drills, inspections, and education with the fire station at various multi-use facilities including hospitals, markets, welfare facilities, and disaster-vulnerable facilities such as daycare centers.

To increase residents' interest and understanding of the Safe Korea Drill, a 'Safe Korea Drill Experience Group' will be operated to participate in the entire training process.

Residents from diverse backgrounds in terms of gender, age, and occupation will be selected through an open recruitment, and their monitoring and training evaluation results will be reflected in next year's drill.

District Mayor Jeong Munheon stated, “We will check and confirm whether close cooperation among related organizations is achieved in realistic situations and whether systematic response according to the disaster response manual is possible. We will continuously supplement any shortcomings to create a safe Jongno where residents can live with peace of mind.”
