Gyeonggi-do Fire Department, Nationwide First to Produce and Distribute 'Disaster Type-Specific Response Guidelines'

Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters has created a booklet compiling response measures for 54 types of disasters and will distribute it to related organizations along with making it available on the website starting from the 15th.

The Gyeonggi-do Fire Department has created educational materials containing 'National Action Guidelines by Disaster Type' to help people easily learn about and respond to various disasters and accidents they may encounter in daily life. These materials will be released on their website on the 15th.

The newly released disaster action guidelines were developed through the collaboration of 181 personnel, including fire stations within the province, private professional instructors, and experts. The guidelines cover 54 types of disasters categorized into four major fields, ranging from essential disasters such as apartment fires and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to drone and camping site accidents.

The materials include not only action guidelines during disasters but also key disaster information such as accident cases, prevention rules, and the use of firefighting equipment. Additionally, to ensure that anyone can easily learn disaster response methods, the content is composed of illustrations and images. The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters explained that the significance lies in consolidating safety education materials scattered across various places into one resource.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters plans to distribute these materials not only through the website but also to 31 cities and counties within the province, educational offices, senior centers, multicultural centers, and more.

Jo Sun-ho, head of the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters, stated, "The 54 types of national action guidelines, created through collaboration among all fire stations in Gyeonggi-do and the first of their kind nationwide, were developed to protect the lives and property of residents during disaster situations. We will continue to develop necessary action guidelines and focus on creating special manuals for vulnerable groups such as foreigners and people with disabilities."
