To demonstrate that peace is maintained through prepared strength, Changwon Special City held the 'First Situation Report Meeting for the 2026 Eulji Exercise' at the Citizens Hall in City Hall on the morning of the 18th, with over 100 Eulji Exercise participants including all heads of bureaus, divisions, and offices of the city administration in attendance.

During the meeting, the participants focused on reporting the military situation, delivering the initial situation report for the Eulji Exercise, addressing major wartime issues, and thoroughly reviewing the city-level response system and the coordination framework between the civil sector, government, military, police, and fire departments to prepare for national emergencies.

In particular, the city selected as a major wartime priority the “Comprehensive Emergency Water Supply and Recovery Plan in Response to Mass Damage of Water Purification and Supply Facilities Caused by Nuclear Attacks and Radioactive Contamination.” The discussion centered on securing alternative water resources and rapid restoration measures for destroyed water purification and supply facilities in the event of a nuclear attack.

Changwon Special City Mayor Gang Ki-yoon emphasized, “Peace can only be preserved by prepared strength, and that strength is built through the thorough preparation of every public official,” urging, “Approach this exercise as a real situation rather than as a formality, and have all employees actively participate in thoroughly learning their departmental duties and identifying any shortcomings in the plans.”

Changwon Special City will conduct wartime transition drills, resident evacuation exercises, and multi-use facility anti-terrorism training throughout the exercise period, which continues until the 21st, treating them as real-life scenarios.

The establishment of a prepared and comprehensive response system in Changwon City is essential so that citizens do not have to worry, even in times of crisis; thorough exercises and preparation are necessary to ensure full readiness.
