Recently, with the increasing frequency of unexpected extreme weather events raising the risk of natural disasters, the organic practice and cooperation between the two organizations for proactive disaster response is expected to create human and material synergies.

Hong Young-geun, Head of the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, stated, “By cooperating closely as two organizations that have been working near the residents, we expect substantial effects in responding to natural disasters,” and added, “We will strive to thoroughly prepare for all possible situations and achieve meaningful results in safety.”

Jo Young-ho, Head of the Korea Rural Community Corporation Jeonnam Headquarters, said, “Due to extreme climate phenomena, damage to agricultural infrastructure is likely to become large-scale, which can lead to loss of life and property. Therefore, this agreement with the Fire Headquarters, which has accumulated extensive know-how in rescue and relief activities, is very meaningful.”

He continued, “Under the grand principle of protecting the lives and safety of the public, we will do our best to realize proactive response through mutual cooperation and create safe rural communities.”
