Government Seoul Office Conducts 'Disaster Response Safety Korea Drill' with 3,200 Participants

Increase in Disaster Safety Awareness of All Employees Through Safety Experience Training

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Government Complex Management Office of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it will conduct the Disaster Response Safety Korea Drill on the 16th.

This drill aims to improve response capabilities in the event of disasters such as earthquakes and fires, with about 3,200 participants including employees of government agencies located in the Seoul Government Complex such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Unification, and Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, daycare teachers and children, and employees of partner companies.

At the Seoul Government Complex, a nationally important facility, participants gained a comprehensive understanding of safety action guidelines to be promptly followed in the event of a major disaster safety accident, and under the guidance of experts such as firefighters and volunteer firefighters, they directly experienced response procedures to raise awareness of disaster safety.

The main training contents included fire suppression, patient transport, and daily safety education in response to earthquakes and fires. Injured patients received emergency treatment and were quickly transported, and fire trucks sprayed water on the fire-affected buildings, demonstrating close cooperative response capabilities with related agencies. In particular, through practical experiences such as outdoor fire hydrant and fire extinguisher spraying drills, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of escape devices, and knot-tying methods, participants also learned how to respond to disaster safety accidents in daily life, making it a valuable time.

Shin Yong-sik, Director of the Seoul Government Complex Management Office, said, “Practical safety training is important to maintain the functions of the Seoul Government Complex in preparation for unpredictable disaster situations,” and added, “We will create a safer Seoul Government Complex through active cooperation with resident agencies and related organizations and various actual disaster safety drills in the future.”
