Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) conducted a 'Flood Disaster Preparedness On-site Execution Drill' on the 12th near Gwanak Dorim Bridge at Dorimcheon (Byeolbitnaerincheon), jointly hosted with Gwanak Fire Station.

On this day, a total of over 80 participants including officials from Gwanak-gu Office, Gwanak Fire Station, river patrol teams, and voluntary disaster prevention groups participated, simulating a scenario of river flooding due to heavy rain to assess overall disaster response capabilities.

The drill began with a Dorimcheon evacuation broadcast due to rising water levels, followed by ▲resident evacuation and control ▲establishment and operation of an integrated disaster support headquarters ▲rescue of isolated persons in the river ▲response to flooded houses (pump operation training).

Residents, under the control of the integrated support headquarters, quickly evacuated from the river area as if in a real situation. One resident who was unable to evacuate in time and became isolated in the river was safely rescued by Gwanak Fire Station personnel using crane equipment.

Subsequently, residents received training and practical exercises on pump operation methods to enable swift response to house flooding situations.

The district expects that through this on-site execution drill, ahead of the monsoon season, it will strengthen the response system with related organizations and enhance residents' ability to respond quickly and calmly in actual disaster situations.

Mayor Park Junhee emphasized, “Through this drill, residents were able to strengthen their disaster response capabilities to calmly handle actual flood disaster situations,” and added, “We will continue to protect residents’ precious lives and property from disasters through close cooperation and response among related agencies.”
