Establishment of Disaster Safety Communication Network in Practical Departments and Community Service Centers for Rapid and Accurate Disaster Response

Weekly Communication Drills Conducted Between Practical Departments and Community Service Centers to Maintain Network Activation



Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that it will expand and operate the disaster safety communication network to respond quickly and accurately in the event of a disaster.


The disaster safety communication network (PS-LTE) is a nationwide unified wireless communication network exclusively used by disaster-related agencies such as local governments, fire departments, and police for disaster response operations.


In case of a disaster, rapid communication between agencies can be conducted through the disaster safety communication network.


Geumcheon-gu will expand the network coverage and operate a total of 51 devices by adding 30 disaster safety communication network terminals from this month to establish a rapid and efficient contact system between departments.

Terminals were distributed to the practical departments (21 departments) of the Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters and each community service center. Afterwards, disaster officers completed training to understand the concept of the disaster safety communication network and practice using the terminals.


In addition, weekly communication drills will be conducted between practical departments and community service centers to continuously check the transmission and reception system to maintain the network activation status at all times.



Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “Rapid and smooth sharing of information is essential in disaster situation management,” and added, “We will thoroughly prepare for emergencies by utilizing the disaster safety communication network not only in communication drills but also in various disaster response trainings.”
