Gyeryong City Named Safest City in Chungnam, Ranked No.1

Securing an Incentive of 120 Million Won

Gyeryong City, which was named one of the safest cities nationwide in last year's Regional Safety Index assessment, ranked first in Chungnam Province and secured an incentive of 120 million won.

The Regional Safety Index quantifies the safety level of local governments by using various safety-related statistics and dividing them into five grades across six categories: traffic accidents, fires, crime, public safety, infectious diseases, and suicide.

The city achieved Grade 1 in four categories: traffic accidents, fires, crime, and infectious diseases, and recorded Grade 2 or higher in all categories.

Notably, the city was included among the outstanding regions, with only three out of 226 basic local governments nationwide selected, earning its reputation as one of the safest cities in the country.

The city plans to invest the 120 million won grant in expanding safety facilities in various sectors to build a safer city.

Mayor Lee Eungwoo stated, "I believe the high safety index grades in all areas are the result of all citizens actively participating in making Gyeryong City safe," and added, "We will continue to focus administrative efforts on the safety sector to maintain our reputation as the safest city in the nation."
