Guro-gu, 'G-Bro (Jibeuro) Project' Experiential Simulation Training

Guro-gu Dementia Safety Center, Guro Police Station... Mock Drill for All Students at Deokil Electronics Technical High School
Training on How to Respond to Missing Dementia Seniors and How to Submit Reports Using Wandering Identification Tags

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) conducted an experiential simulation training for the prevention of missing elderly dementia patients on the 11th at Deokil Electronics Technical High School located in Oryu 2-dong.

The ‘G-Bro (Jibeuro) Project’ is an initiative by Guro-gu, which is experiencing an increase in elderly dementia patients and missing dementia cases amid the transition to a super-aged society. The project aims to prevent missing dementia elderly and establish a public-private cooperative response system within the community to quickly locate missing dementia patients, thereby strengthening the social safety net.

In the first part of the experiential simulation training, the Guro-gu Dementia Safety Center and Guro Police Station educated about 140 students of Deokil Electronics Technical High School on the symptoms and causes of dementia, characteristics of wandering and missing dementia elderly, and how to respond when dementia elderly go missing or are found. The students were then appointed as guardians for missing prevention.

The second part involved a treasure hunt-style simulation training called ‘Wandering Identification Tag Search,’ where students searched for five hidden wandering dementia patients’ identification tags within the school and reported them. The students checked the personal information of the dementia elderly via QR codes on the identification tags and filled out and submitted missing person reports.

Mayor Moon Heon-il of Guro-gu said, “The G-Bro Project is a community safety net-building initiative where public institutions and local residents learn about dementia together and respond accordingly. We will continue to do our best so that dementia elderly and their families can live their daily lives with peace of mind.”

Additionally, the ‘G-Bro Project’ is the first dementia elderly missing response simulation training conducted among Seoul’s autonomous districts. On the 8th of last month, about 300 people including merchants’ associations and market users attended a market-type simulation training at Gocheok Neighborhood Market in Gocheok 2-dong, which simulated a missing dementia elderly situation, drawing attention.

Guro-gu plans to conduct market-type simulation training in Guro 2-dong in September and experiential simulation training in Sugung-dong in October.
