The Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency announced that on the afternoon of the 20th, they conducted an outdoor training exercise (FTX) including the control of underpasses to prepare for flooding situations in underpasses during heavy summer rains.

The training was conducted under the assumption that a heavy rain warning had been issued for the Daejeon area and heavy rain continued. One underpass vulnerable to flooding, such as Samcheon Underpass, was selected from each police station. In the event of flooding caused by a drainage pump failure, nearby police support dispatch, traffic control and detour measures, contacting local governments through emergency contact networks, and drainage pump repair actions were carried out.

A representative of the Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency stated, “In the event of disasters such as heavy rain, we will continue to strengthen our response capabilities by collaborating with local governments to establish safety measures to ensure that not a single life is lost.”
