Ministry of the Interior and Safety, SK Gas, and Gas Safety Corporation Share Disaster Safety Data

Signing of Related Business Agreement

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 3rd that it has signed a 'Public-Private-Public Disaster Safety Data Sharing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)' with SK Gas and the Korea Gas Safety Corporation to share disaster safety data related to wildfires and wind and flood damage.

Through this agreement, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will provide SK Gas with a total of 24 types of data online, including weather, flood, wildfire information, and the status of nationwide disaster message dispatches.

Additionally, SK Gas will utilize the shared data by linking and analyzing it with gas facility location information managed on its platform (wego) to prevent and respond to disasters.

The Korea Gas Safety Corporation plans to support the use of government-held data in the private gas sector by expanding collaboration so that other gas supply companies can also use disaster safety data for safety management.

Kim Seong-ho, Director of the Disaster Safety Management Headquarters at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, stated, “Sharing important data directly related to the safety of the people between the government and the private sector is a crucial foundation for ‘scientific disaster management,’ emphasized in the ‘Comprehensive Plan for National Safety System Reform.’” He added, “Going forward, we will actively open the data through the ‘Disaster Safety Data Sharing Platform’ so that citizens and companies can easily obtain and utilize disaster safety data.”
