This field training was carried out to effectively respond to the growing risk of various disasters, such as spring wildfires. The program covered topics including the natural disaster management system, disaster recovery policy, and conflict management during disaster occurrences.

'Specialized Training for Disaster Safety Professionals' is mandatory for public officials responsible for such work under the Framework Act on the Management of Disasters and Safety. The training went beyond theoretical instruction to provide in-depth guidance on managing a range of situations that may arise in the field during actual disasters, thereby enhancing participants’ understanding of crisis management.

Seongju County plans to use this training to strengthen its prompt and systematic disaster response system and to serve as a reliable safety net protecting the lives and property of its residents.
