Gwangju City announced on the 13th that it has selected and appointed 24 individuals as '2025 Civil Defense Training Instructors' who will provide disaster response and safety education to civil defense members.

The city held an open recruitment in January, and selected the instructors through a fair and systematic process including document screening, lecture evaluations, and interviews. These instructors will enhance the crisis response capabilities of civil defense members by providing practical training such as basic civil defense education, real-life drills in CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) response, fire safety, and first aid. In addition, the city plans to improve the quality of lectures and offer education reflecting the latest disaster response trends through continuous training and evaluation.

On the 11th, the city awarded appointment certificates to these new instructors at the Chungmu Facility. Civil defense training instructors will begin their activities in April according to the training schedules of each district.

Bae Bokhwan, Director of the Citizen Safety Office, said, "Since these new instructors have taken on an important role in ensuring citizen safety, I expect them to provide beneficial education based on thorough preparation and expertise."
