Participants also checked the management status of life-saving equipment and the emergency response system, agreeing to maintain a cooperative system among related agencies to ensure a prompt response in the event of an accident.

Based on the outcomes of the meeting, Namhae County plans to analyze past water safety accident cases, supplement preventive measures tailored to local conditions, and continuously implement necessary actions for water safety management during the summer.

Seokwon Jeong, Deputy County Mayor of Namhae County, requested that all related agencies make every effort to prevent water safety accidents during the summer through inter-agency cooperation and field-oriented safety management.

During the summer season, the risk of safety accidents increases as water recreation and leisure activities become more frequent. To prevent accidents, it is considered essential not only to inspect facilities and deploy safety personnel, but also to maintain a prompt cooperation system among related agencies and ensure that visitors adhere to safety regulations.
