This evaluation, which targeted 226 cities, counties, and districts nationwide, was designed to comprehensively assess the disaster response systems of local governments in preparation for heavy rainfall. The assessment covered various criteria, including measures to prevent casualties and property damage, operation of emergency response systems, pre-inspection of high-risk areas, safety management for vulnerable groups, and provision of information to citizens.

Anseong City received high marks for its response according to the evaluation standards, such as operating phased protocols based on weather conditions, inspecting and controlling areas at risk of flooding and landslides, running evacuation support systems for vulnerable populations, and establishing information-sharing infrastructure.

As a result of being selected as the top institution, the city also secured an incentive of 300 million won. The incentive will be used for natural disaster prevention projects, such as improving disaster-prone areas and upgrading drainage facilities.

A city official stated, "We will continue to strengthen our disaster prevention and safety management systems in accordance with relevant regulations and procedures going forward."
