Changwon Special City, "Please Attend Civil Defense Training"

Resumption of In-Person Group Education After 4 Years

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam will resume normal operations of civil defense training, which had been scaled down due to COVID-19, starting from the 3rd.

Currently, Changwon's civil defense corps consists of 65,320 members. Among them, first- and second-year members must complete 4 hours of in-person training, while third- and fourth-year members and those with five or more years must complete 2 hours and 1 hour of cyber training, respectively.

The civil defense cyber training runs from the 3rd to June 30th. Members can access it anytime 24 hours a day by searching for Smart Civil Defense Training or by clicking the ‘Take Smart Training’ button after confirming receipt of the mobile electronic notification.

In-person training will be held from the 17th to May 26th and will be conducted according to each district office’s schedule. The training schedule is provided through mobile electronic notifications and can also be checked on the National Disaster Safety Portal.

The training content includes the duties and roles of civil defense members, international security affairs, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, and other public safety and citizen action guidelines. Unlike last year, participation in blood donation will not be recognized as civil defense training this year. Members with two or more years of service will have their civil defense training recognized through actual participation in civil defense drills.

Civil defense members who do not respond during the basic training period will have two supplementary training sessions held in the second half of this year.

Lee Jeong-je, the Safety General Manager, said, “As civil defense training is being normalized for the first time in over four years due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we ask for the active participation of civil defense members.”
