[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Su-won Reporter] Hwaseong City's 'disaster scene command vehicle utilizing drone technology,' which was introduced nationally for the first time, received the top prize at the '2024 Gyeonggi Province Proactive Administration Excellence Cases Competition.'

With this, Hwaseong City has received the top prize for three consecutive years following 2022 and 2023.

On the 28th, Gyeonggi Province held the '2024 Gyeonggi Province Proactive Administration Excellence Cases Competition' at Dasan Hall of the Gyeonggi Provincial Human Resources Development Institute, where eight municipalities that passed the first and second rounds of preliminary competition competed in the final round, with Hwaseong City receiving the top prize.

The 'disaster scene command vehicle utilizing drone technology' presented by Hwaseong City as its case study is a disaster response vehicle designed to strengthen initial disaster response capabilities through rapid detection of signs at disaster scenes and situation assessment. It is equipped with advanced technologies including disaster drones, remote video conferencing systems, and warning/alert systems.

In particular, the introduction of the disaster scene command vehicle enabled △rapid collection of video information linked with disaster safety drones when disasters occur △operation of warning/alert systems △alert broadcasting and on-site briefing using broadcast systems and external monitors △real-time video conferences with the city's disaster control center. These capabilities were highly evaluated for strengthening the city's response capacity as a disaster control tower and contributing to ensuring citizen safety.

With this award, the city has acquired eligibility to participate in the preliminaries of the Pan-Government Proactive Administration Competition jointly overseen by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Personnel Management, and the Office of Government Coordination in the Civilian Government.

Meanwhile, Hwaseong City was previously selected as an excellent proactive administration institution by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety last year.

Hwaseong City Mayor Jung Myung-geun stated, "A proactive administrative approach to creatively respond to rapidly changing administrative environments and resolve citizens' inconveniences is more important than anything else," and added, "Together with all Hwaseong City public officials in one mind and one purpose, we will pursue proactive administration to create a Hwaseong that is a city full of hope that changes citizens' lives."
