May Training at Gocheok Sky Dome Simulating Stadium Collapse and Fire Due to Typhoon

Guro-gu was selected as the Best Performing Institution in the ‘2024 Disaster Response Safe Korea Training’ evaluation hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Among a total of 335 institutions, only two, including Guro-gu, were selected as the best institutions, and Guro-gu is the only local government among them.

In May, about 430 people, including the district office, 15 related organizations, groups, and residents, participated in a training exercise at Gocheok Sky Dome, responding to a scenario where the stadium collapses and a large fire breaks out during a baseball game due to a typhoon.

This year’s training focused on strengthening disaster preparedness capabilities by simulating situations similar to real events, covering initial response, evacuation, rescue, damage control, and recovery in the event of a disaster.

In particular, during the fire response training, which has become more frequent recently, Guro-gu demonstrated rapid response by establishing an organic cooperation system with related organizations, earning high praise from the judges.

A Guro-gu official stated, “This selection as the best institution was possible thanks to the active participation and cooperation of related organizations, groups, and residents,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to protect the lives and property of residents and create a ‘Safe Guro.’”
