[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) conducted a focused drill for the 2022 Disaster Response Safety Korea Training on the 18th at Hanjin Namseoul Integrated Logistics Center in Gasan-dong.

This drill was planned to strengthen disaster response capabilities by conducting a simulated exercise related to a large fire and multiple casualties within the logistics center, checking and supplementing the initial response system and cooperation system with related organizations in the event of a disaster.

The drill, hosted by Geumcheon-gu and Geumcheon Fire Station, involved about 600 participants from 17 organizations including Geumcheon Fire Station, Geumcheon Police Station, KT, Korea Electric Power Corporation, and Korea Gas Corporation. Equipment deployed included 1 helicopter, 1 drone, and 51 fire and ambulance vehicles.

On the 17th, a fire evacuation drill was conducted for all Geumcheon-gu office employees and civil petitioners. Assuming a fire occurred inside the Geumcheon-gu office building, the drill started with the first discoverer's report, followed by the prompt emergency evacuation of all personnel inside the building, and then a fire suppression drill.

Yuseonghun, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Disasters and safety accidents can occur suddenly anywhere without warning,” and added, “We will strengthen the disaster response system and cooperation with related organizations to realize a ‘Safe Geumcheon without Disaster Damage.’”
