Situation-specific messages applicable on-site were assigned, and the drill was conducted to establish a rapid response system suitable for the disaster situation.

The drill proceeded with ▲ activation of the emergency rescue control team and establishment of integrated command at the disaster site ▲ division of roles among emergency rescue support organizations and groups according to situation-specific messages ▲ establishment of a cooperative system among participating organizations ▲ triage of multiple casualties according to the disaster occurrence.

A member of the emergency rescue control team who participated in the drill said, “I believe that assigning and performing missions suited to the characteristics of unpredictable and various types of disaster sites is very important,” and added, “Through repeated drills, we will protect citizens’ lives and property with accurate and systematic responses.”
