This drill was organized to strengthen the response capabilities to sudden actions by civil petitioners occurring recently in public institutions nationwide and to prevent unexpected situations that may arise during council sessions.


The mock drill proceeded in the order of △blocking civil petitioners' attempts to intrude into the main assembly hall △intervention by the initial response team leader △prior notification followed by on-site recording and audio recording △reporting to and handing over to the police. The council secretariat staff performed their roles according to the pre-established response manual and practiced procedures for swift response.



Gwak Jong-po, chairman of the Yangsan City Council, said, “Through this drill, we were able to further strengthen the emergency response capabilities of council members and public officials,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure the safe operation of the council.”
