Guri City Becomes First in Gyeonggi Province to Install Emergency Call Bells in All 129 Senior Centers

[Suwon Ilbo=Um In-yong Reporter] Guri City announced on the 17th that it has become the first in Gyeonggi Province to fully install emergency call bells in all 129 senior centers within its jurisdiction, establishing a foundation to proactively respond to increasing emergency situations.

The 'senior center emergency call bell' is a measure taken in consideration of the characteristics of spaces where elderly residents gather. It is a system that connects to enable police or firefighters to respond immediately to the scene when sudden health emergencies or accidents occur.

Guri Mayor Baek Gyeong-hyun stated, "Since senior centers are open to the public and are places where elderly residents gather, they are vulnerable to security issues. I hope the installation of emergency call bells will make senior centers safer and more comfortable spaces, and I will continuously seek out policies befitting an age-friendly city."
