Park Dae-woo, Acting Mayor of Gangseo District (fourth from the left), visited the Disaster Safety Situation Room located on the basement level 1 of the district office at 3 p.m. on the 18th. After inspecting the disaster response system with the heads of related departments, he took a commemorative photo.

On the 18th, Gangseo-gu, Seoul established a 'Disaster Safety Situation Room' to respond more quickly and thoroughly to various disaster situations such as random crimes, crowd accidents, and fires.

At 3 p.m. that day, Park Dae-woo, Acting Mayor of Gangseo-gu, visited the situation room to directly inspect the disaster response system.

Previously, it was difficult to accurately grasp disaster situations because information was conveyed using walkie-talkies or phone calls.

To resolve this, the district applied a real-time video transmission system for disaster situations at the scene.

Any staff member who arrives first at the disaster site can transmit live video to the situation room, establishing an on-site response reporting system. In effect, all employees act as a control tower for the disaster site.

Additionally, by linking with the Gangseo-gu Integrated Control Center, the function to monitor 3,369 CCTVs in real time within the area was enhanced, significantly improving disaster response capabilities.

Furthermore, to enable rapid on-site response, the Smart Seoul Safety Net was introduced, unifying communication networks among related agencies such as the police and fire departments.

The district plans to conduct a pilot operation until October and start full operation from November. Five specialized personnel with expertise in disaster situations will work in three shifts, 24 hours a day, handling not only disaster situation reports but also the dissemination of disaster information.

Park Dae-woo, Acting Mayor of Gangseo-gu, said, “We established the Disaster Safety Situation Room to prioritize residents' safety and strengthen on-site response capabilities. We will continue to do our best to build a flawless disaster safety network through cooperation with related organizations.”
