Gyeonggi Fire Department Produces 'Disaster Type Action Guidelines' Promotional Materials in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese

‘Disaster Type-Specific Action Guidelines Multilingual Promotional Material (Leaflet)’ produced in English by the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters

The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters is producing and distributing a ‘Multilingual Disaster Action Guidelines Leaflet’ for foreigners.

The leaflet covers three types of disasters with high foreign casualties: residential fires, residential vinyl greenhouse fires, and factory fires, and is produced in three languages: English, Chinese, and Vietnamese.

The leaflet contains not only action guidelines during disasters but also key disaster information such as causes, accident cases, and prevention rules.

Earlier in May, the Fire and Disaster Headquarters of the province created the nation’s first nationwide disaster action guidelines categorized into 54 types across four major fields, and among them, the guidelines for residential and fire disasters were translated into foreign languages.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters plans to additionally produce seven disaster types closely related to daily life, including heavy snow, cold waves, and emergency treatments such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and create foreign language versions focusing on nationalities with many foreigners in the province, such as Uzbekistan and Cambodia.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters will post the leaflets on the headquarters’ website, distribute them to workplaces employing foreigners, and guide their use as educational materials at facilities frequented by foreigners.

Jo Seon-ho, head of the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters, said, "I sincerely hope that the multilingual leaflets produced this time will be a small but vital seed to protect the precious lives of foreigners from fire," and added, "We will continue to promote effective fire safety measures to ensure that foreigners in the province are not discriminated against in fire safety."
