Gyeongnam Office of Education Supports Disaster Preparedness Drills for Kindergartens in the Province

First Disaster Safety Consultation Conducted for Single-Session Kindergartens

Evacuation Drill Consultation Based on Earthquake, Fire, and Other Scenarios

Gyeongnam Office of Education will conduct the first disaster safety consultation for standalone kindergartens in the province.

The Office of Education announced on the 28th that it received applications from kindergartens with a large number of children and selected seven of them.

According to the Office of Education, the disaster safety consultation will begin with the first session at Hyeondongsup Kindergarten on the 28th and continue until October.

Assuming disaster situations such as earthquakes and fires, two safety instructors from the Safety Development Institute will form a team to conduct three consultations for the staff to ensure that children can evacuate quickly and safely.

The first session will focus on evacuation scenarios, the second on in-house evacuation drills, and the third will observe evacuation drills conducted on-site during joint training with the fire station.

The Office of Education plans to review the possibility of expanding the project based on satisfaction surveys and self-evaluations after the project concludes.

An Seung-gi, Director of Safety General Affairs, said, “Through three disaster safety consultations and assessments, we will enhance disaster safety capabilities tailored to kindergarten settings and foster safety awareness among the children.”
