[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 30th that it has produced and distributed promotional materials containing the 'Emergency National Action Guidelines' to ensure that residents can evacuate safely and respond quickly in emergency situations.

The province created the 'Emergency National Action Guidelines' based on a draft from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, in response to rapidly changing security situations such as North Korea's missile launches and the Russia-Ukraine war.

The 'Emergency Action Guidelines' are divided into three stages (Preparation, Evacuation, Listening), with response methods for each stage and situation organized through illustrations and tables.

It also includes action guidelines for various types of emergencies such as chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) situations, large building collapses, subway fires, and other social disasters.

Additionally, it covers how to use the government’s mobile disaster safety information app 'Safe Stepping Stone,' the meaning of civil defense alerts, how to find emergency shelters, and essential items to have during emergencies.

The province produced 600 booklets and over 10,000 promotional leaflets, distributing them to 31 cities and counties within the province, and is currently producing an additional 20,000 copies.

Won Jin-hee, the province’s Emergency Planning Officer, stated, "Even if there is a shelter nearby, if you do not check its location in advance, you cannot evacuate quickly during an emergency," and added, "Please use the 'Emergency National Action Guidelines' to confirm the nearest shelter within your living area."
