Osan Selected as 'Top Safety Institution' by Local Safety Diagnosis

Osan has been selected as a top-ranked institution in a local safety diagnosis conducted by the National Fire Agency on 230 basic municipal governments across the country, the city announced on the 15th.

The National Fire Agency diagnosed the 230 basic municipal governments nationwide on disaster occurrence probability, hazardous environments, disaster prevention performance, and risk management capabilities.

In this evaluation, the National Fire Agency assessed that cities with fewer naturally hazardous environments and excellent municipal financial capacity are safer cities, particularly those with substantial disaster prevention budget investments such as adequate small river maintenance.

Based on these diagnostic results, the National Fire Agency classified and announced the cities into five groups ranging from the safest city group 'A' to the most dangerous city group 'E'.

Osan has been included in the group 'A', the safest city among the 230 basic municipal governments nationwide, comprising 15 local governments (6 from Daegu, 4 from Seoul, 2 from Busan, and 1 each from Incheon, Ulsan, and Gyeonggi Province).

The city received high scores for comprehensive disaster management measures including strengthened disaster prevention functions and ecological stream restoration projects for the Osan Stream.
