A total of 76 disaster safety managers and field staff from 25 local governments participated in this training. It was organized to help participants acquire specialized knowledge necessary for coping with rapidly changing disaster environments and to enhance their on-site response capabilities.

The training covered four subjects: understanding the national disaster management system, understanding crisis management manuals, climate change and disaster management, and disasters and indemnity compensation. Instructors included experts from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the National Disaster Management Research Institute, the Korea Safety Culture Strategy Center, and the Association itself.

In particular, the training focused not only on theoretical instruction but also on hands-on, practical education that integrates the entire disaster management process, from disaster prevention and response to recovery.

Jung Sunyong, Chairman of the Association, stated, "As disaster environments are rapidly changing due to climate change and other factors, the on-site response capabilities of local governments are becoming even more important," adding, "We will continuously expand disaster safety education and support that reflects the voices from the field and the needs of our members."

Meanwhile, the Association is also working on initiatives such as supporting maintenance and management of rainwater inlets, providing training subsidies in the disaster safety sector, and offering on-site education programs that visit localities. Through financial support for specially designated disaster areas, it is also assisting with the swift recovery of affected regions.
