On June 12, Yeosu City in South Jeolla Province (Mayor Jung Kimyung) announced that it was once again recognized as a model city for disaster safety management, having received an institutional commendation in the Excellent City and County category at the 7th Jeollanam-do Dasan Safety Awards on June 9.

The Dasan Safety Awards is a representative disaster safety award system implemented by Jeollanam-do since 2018, based on the philosophy of Dasan Jeong Yak-yong that "prevention is the priority in disaster management."

In the evaluation, the city achieved outstanding results across all areas of disaster safety management, including disaster management assessment and the spread of safety culture. As a result, Yeosu was selected as an excellent city and county local government for this year and secured a project budget of 85 million won. This budget will be used to expand disaster prevention and safety infrastructure within the region.

Previously, in 2023, Yeosu was also selected as an excellent local government in the Dasan Safety Awards. The funds secured at that time were used for maintenance of Daokcheon in Hwayang-myeon, installation of traffic signals, and maintenance of earthquake evacuation signs.

A city official stated, "This award is an achievement made together with our citizens," and added, "We will continue to strengthen field-oriented disaster response and prevention activities to create a citizen-led safety culture city."
