[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] On the 30th, the government held the 6th meeting of the "Pan-Government National Safety System Reform Special Team (TF)" and discussed the comprehensive plan (draft) for reforming the national safety system jointly prepared by related ministries.


Today's meeting included 21 agencies from the Pan-Government Special Team (TF), local governments such as Busan and Incheon, and private experts who had provided advisory opinions through previous Pan-Government Special Team (TF) plenary and subcommittee meetings.


Since the Pan-Government Special Team (TF) was formed on November 18, the government has prepared key tasks for each subcommittee and, through continuous consultations with related organizations, concretized improvement measures to prepare the comprehensive Pan-Government plan (draft).


The main directions of this comprehensive Pan-Government plan (draft) are ▲ to establish a disaster management system that anticipates new risks in advance and operates properly on-site, transitioning to scientific disaster management based on a digital platform, and ▲ to strengthen practical support for disaster-affected areas and activate safety management through private sector participation. In particular, measures to prevent the recurrence of mass crowd accidents will be focused on, and a reform plan for the entire national safety system will also be established.



Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Sang-min Lee, said, “We thank the public who gave valuable opinions on national safety through ‘Safe Report’ and ‘On (ON) National Communication’ during the process of creating the comprehensive plan (draft) for reforming the national safety system,” and emphasized, “Through this comprehensive plan, which the government, local governments, and the public are creating together, we will do our best to make the ordinary daily lives of the people safer.”
