"Enjoy Disaster Safety Experience with Family During Winter Vacation"

National Civil Defense Disaster Safety Training Center to Provide Hands-on Training in Emergency Escape Devices and CPR Until January Next Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety's National Civil Defense Disaster Safety Training Center announced on the 26th that it will conduct a "Disaster Safety Family Experience" at the Disaster Safety Experience Center until January next year, coinciding with the winter vacation period.

The "Disaster Safety Family Experience" is a program where all family members gather in one place to deeply understand the importance of disaster safety, learn through hands-on experience, and physically practice safety measures. It was first held during this summer vacation (July-August).

Due to the high response from participants during last summer vacation, the program, which was previously operated with about 20 people per group, will be expanded to two groups with about 40 people. The program will be conducted under six themes.

Upon arrival, participants first receive an explanation of safety rules and learn how to quickly and safely escape from a fire or earthquake at home through immersive 4D disaster videos.

Next, participants will learn how to escape from a dark building filled with smoke and experience using a 7-meter-high emergency escape device, helping them physically practice how to stay calm and evacuate during a disaster.

Additionally, to enhance initial fire response skills, participants will have the opportunity to use a real fire extinguisher to put out a fire and learn the methods and sequence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in preparation for cardiac arrest patients.

During the various disaster safety experiences, a "Family Safety Quiz" will also be held, and families who answer questions related to safety knowledge correctly will receive small gifts.

Families wishing to participate in the disaster safety experience can apply through the National Civil Defense Disaster Safety Training Center's Disaster Safety Experience Center website or by phone.

Kim Jaeheum, Director of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's National Civil Defense Disaster Safety Training Center, stated, "It is meaningful in that it provides an educational opportunity for all family members to gather in one place, deeply understand the importance of disaster safety, and directly experience it physically." He added, "After the winter vacation disaster safety family experience ends, we will comprehensively analyze participants' feedback and wishes to strive to provide better experiential education."
