In this drill, over 180 employees from 10 organizations and groups participated, focusing on scenarios such as ▲ disseminating information about large fires and evacuating and guiding visitors and staff ▲ requesting support from emergency rescue agencies and rescuing people ▲ triaging patients, providing first aid, and transporting them ▲ strengthening the integrated support headquarters for emergency rescue agency support.

Notably, this drill introduced an integrated linkage method that connects the disaster site and Yeongdeok-gun Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters in real time using the Disaster Safety Communication Network (PS-LTE), following the guidelines of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, thereby enhancing the system and substance of the drill.

County Governor Kim Gwang-yeol commented, “This drill established a communication system with related agencies and strengthened its substance, serving as an opportunity to elevate disaster response capabilities to the next level.”

Yeongdeok-gun has been recognized for its disaster response achievements, including receiving the grand prize in the ‘Gyeongbuk Province Disaster Response Safety Korea Drill Evaluation’ last December.
