From the second day, a daily situation report meeting was held every morning at 8:30 a.m. to share the status of major incidents and the results of response measures, and to discuss problems and improvement plans for the Chungmu Plan.

On the third day, administrative welfare centers in towns and districts and Yangju Urban Corporation provided civil defense education, including air raid evacuation drills and gas mask wearing exercises, to strengthen citizens' ability to respond to air raids. In addition, a fire truck passage drill was conducted under the supervision of Yangju Fire Station to raise public awareness of safety.

On the final day, the 21st, a drill was conducted under the direction of the Smart Information Officer to respond to a DDoS attack and computer network paralysis, checking the cyberattack response system and inter-agency cooperation framework.

The city evaluated that this exercise served as an opportunity to strengthen wartime response capabilities in line with the changing security environment and to further solidify the cooperation system among related agencies.
