Ulsan Office of Education Enhances Crisis Response Skills for Students and Staff

Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will conduct the '2023 Disaster Response Safe Korea Training' for all affiliated institutions of the education office over five days from the 30th of this month to the 3rd of next month.

The Disaster Response Safe Korea Training is a nationwide comprehensive exercise led by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, involving central government ministries, local governments, public institutions, and citizens to respond to disasters such as typhoons and fires.

This year's training goal is to create a safe school and culture that all members participate in and empathize with. Accordingly, Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education focused on actual training that participants experience themselves and training involving parents.

Areas that were insufficient in previous trainings and shortcomings in actual disaster response have been supplemented in this training scenario, and discussion training will also be conducted.

The operation of the parent experience group is part of fostering a Safe Korea Training culture involving citizens (parents), organized by Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education and supported by Buk-gu Ulsan Safety Experience Center.

Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education recruited 12 parents for the experience group by the 17th of this month from five schools near the Ulsan Safety Experience Center.

The parent experience group will participate in the Ulsan Safety Experience Center’s programs on the 1st of next month together with Cheon Chang-su, the Superintendent of Education, and other senior officials of Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education.

The experience programs consist of four categories: traffic safety, fire (high-rise escape), earthquake safety, and first aid.
