The Forest Disaster Response Unit is an organization that integrates previously separate seasonal field response personnel-such as wildfire suppression teams, landslide response teams, and forest pest and disease control staff-to enhance employment stability. The unit will be divided into advance and follow-up teams, with each group comprising half of the total planned personnel and hired according to the season.

The advance team being recruited this time will consist of 30 people who will work from January to October 2026. Their duties will include forest disaster prevention activities for wildfires, landslides, and forest pests and diseases; promotional activities such as wildfire prevention campaigns; and assisting with other forestry projects and on-site support tasks.

The working conditions include eight-hour shifts per day (covering day, night, and late-night rotations), with a daily wage of 90,560 KRW (mandatory enrollment in four major social insurances). Employees who work the full 40 hours per week will receive one paid day off or a weekly allowance, and those who work a full month will receive paid leave or a monthly allowance the following month.

Eligibility requirements, as of the recruitment announcement date (December 2), include being at least 18 years old, physically healthy, and diligent, with both registered and actual residence in Yangyang County. Applicants must also be able to report to the wildfire suppression centers (Yangyang, Hyeonnam) within one hour in case of emergency mobilization.

To apply, candidates should review the announcement posted on the Yangyang County Office website and submit an application in person to the Forest and Greenery Division's Wildfire Prevention Headquarters (4th floor) at Yangyang County Office between December 5 and 6:00 p.m. on December 15.

Individual interviews will be conducted during document submission, followed by a physical fitness test at Yangyang Sports Complex. The final list of successful candidates will be announced in December. Details regarding main duties, required documents, preferential conditions, and reasons for participation restrictions can be found in the recruitment announcement.
