Previously, on June 24, the city conducted a joint safety inspection and risk assessment of Gwangam Beach facilities together with relevant agencies. They inspected all water safety and convenience facilities, and identified potential risks in advance.

In addition, to prepare for possible water-related accidents during the open season, a joint life-saving drill was held on June 30, involving Changwon Maritime Police Station, Masan Fire Station, and eight safety management personnel from Changwon City.
