Daejeon Transportation Corporation announced on the 13th that it conducted an unannounced emergency drill on flood response at Guam Station on the 12th due to heavy rain.

This drill was conducted assuming a situation where localized heavy rain caused flooding at Guam Station's facilities and tracks, resulting in train service suspension.

To enhance the effectiveness of the drill, the president directed the drill situation and it was carried out as an unannounced drill without prior notice of time and place.

The drill strengthened on-site initial response and emergency recovery system capabilities through unannounced situation occurrence and dissemination, rapid passenger evacuation, establishment and operation of an accident response headquarters, and cooperation with related organizations for site restoration.

Yeon Gyu-yang, president of Daejeon Transportation Corporation, stated, “As natural disasters such as heavy rain caused by abnormal weather frequently occur, it is necessary to maintain a constant state of readiness,” and added, “We will do our best to strengthen emergency response capabilities so that citizens can use the urban railway with peace of mind.”
