Jungnang-gu Selected as '2023 Excellent Autonomous District in Disaster Response'

High Evaluation for Institution Heads' Training Participation and Roles, and Establishment of an Organic Disaster Response System Among Related Agencies

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) was selected as an excellent autonomous district in the evaluation of the '2023 Disaster Response Safe Korea Training.'

The 'Disaster Response Safe Korea Training' is a comprehensive national disaster preparedness drill conducted annually by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to strengthen the disaster response capabilities of local governments and related organizations and to establish a solid disaster management system.

The training conducted last October simulated a collapse and fire situation at a multi-use facility caused by an earthquake, with about 400 participants from 18 local related organizations and private groups.

To practice a rapid response system as in an actual disaster situation, the training was conducted in real-time by linking the Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters operation discussion drill, presided over by Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi, head of the Jungnang-gu Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, which oversees disaster situation management and response and recovery coordination, with the on-site training of the Integrated Support Headquarters focusing on disaster site recovery and restoration activities.

The district was selected as an excellent autonomous district, receiving high overall evaluations for the participation and roles of agency heads in the training, utilization of the disaster safety communication network (PS-LTE), and the organic operation of the disaster response system among participating institutions.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "Protecting and safeguarding the residents of Jungnang-gu is the district's foremost responsibility. This training was an opportunity to strengthen the cooperative disaster response system among related organizations to ensure rapid response for safety in any situation," adding, "We will continue to conduct ongoing disaster preparedness training to perfectly protect the safety of our residents."
