Comprehensive hospitals, including Hanyang University Hospital, a regional emergency medical center, will provide 24-hour medical services to promptly respond to emergency patients and mass casualty incidents.

Guidance is also available via 120 (Dasan Call Center), 119 (Emergency Situation Management Center), and the mobile app "Emergency Medical Information Service."
