Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Safe Korea Drill' Evaluation
Among 335 Agencies, Sanlimcheong Awarded 'Best Excellence'

The Korea Forest Service was selected as the best institution in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's '2023 Disaster Response Safe Korea Training' evaluation.


According to the Korea Forest Service on the 24th, the Safe Korea Training is conducted to enhance the response capabilities to disaster situations through joint participation of central government ministries, local governments, public institutions, and the public. The evaluation was conducted on a total of 335 institutions responsible for disaster management.


In October last year, the Korea Forest Service conducted a landslide crisis management step-by-step situation response training involving 15 institutions including Gangwon Province and Chuncheon City, as well as 239 participants including residents of landslide-prone villages within Chuncheon.


In the evaluation, the Korea Forest Service received high marks for helping related organizations, private groups, and residents of landslide-prone villages to organically respond to simulated disaster situations during the training, and for the Korea Forest Service Commissioner directly presiding over the situation assessment meeting, demonstrating on-site command capabilities such as countermeasure inspection and handling of sudden and unexpected messages.



Nam Sung-hyun, Commissioner of the Korea Forest Service, said, "The Korea Forest Service being selected as the best institution in the Safe Korea Training evaluation is thanks to training planning that resembles real situations and the active participation of the public," adding, "The Korea Forest Service will continue to strengthen field-centered crisis response capabilities and solidify an organic cooperation system among ministries to protect public safety from forest disasters."
