Department of Fire and Disaster Prevention Administration at Dong-Eui University Holds Disaster Safety Forum

The Disaster Management major in the Department of Fire and Disaster Prevention Administration at Dong-Eui University Graduate School held the "1st Busan Regional Disaster Safety Series Forum" on February 23rd at the Law Building.

Sponsored by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the event was attended by professors and graduate students from the Disaster Management major, as well as disaster safety personnel from Busan City and various district offices. Discussions were held on current issues in disaster management in the Busan area and the development direction of the disaster safety series.

Professor Kim Yoon-hee of the Department of Fire and Disaster Prevention Administration at Dong-Eui University stated, "The disaster safety series is a field where expertise must be emphasized, but various improvements are needed due to issues such as a small number of personnel and intense workloads."

She added, "This event was meaningful as disaster safety officials from the Busan area directly participated and presented various opinions on local issues and the development plans for the disaster safety series. In the future, the forum will be expanded not only to the Busan area but also to the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (Bu-Ul-Gyeong) region."

The disaster safety series is one of the civil service series, established in 2014 to enhance capabilities in the public sector disaster management field. Approximately 50 disaster safety series civil servants are active in the Busan area.

Notably, Eun Nam-min, a student from the Department of Fire and Disaster Prevention Administration at Dong-Eui University, passed first in the 2020 Busan local government disaster safety series recruitment.

Last year, the Department of Fire and Disaster Prevention Administration at Dong-Eui University was selected for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's project to cultivate specialized personnel in disaster management and safety. Through scholarships and various supports such as industry-academia cooperation activation, the department is fostering talent with comprehensive professional capabilities and practical skills.
