At the training, Ra Hyun-sook, president of the National Autonomous Disaster Prevention Group Association, conducted a 2-hour session on ‘Activity Guidelines by Disaster Type’ for about 100 participants including disaster prevention group members and public officials.

One participant said, “I realized once again that the role of the disaster prevention group, composed of residents who know the local conditions well, is as important as the roles of the national and local governments in disaster prevention and response,” adding, “I feel rewarded to have learned specific action guidelines for each type of disaster.”

Meanwhile, along with the training, awards were presented to 10 individuals who made significant contributions to the disaster prevention group activities.

Mayor Park Hyung-deok, who presented the awards, said, “I appreciate the hard work of the disaster prevention group members who inspect roads in preparation for heavy rains in summer and engage in snow removal activities in winter, and I ask the disaster prevention group to play an even greater role as local guardians.”
