Nam Kyung-pil: "I Will Weave a Tight Life Safety Net"

Nam Kyung-pil, a provisional Gyeonggi governor candidate for the Saenuri Party, announced on the 30th a "Life Safety Net Construction Plan" that includes provisions for the Fire and Disaster Management Director to serve as an on-site commander.

The candidate held briefings at the National Assembly and Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly, stating, "Over the past 14 days in Jindo, I reflected deeply and learned much. I will make the life safety net tight and strong," while announcing Gyeonggi Province safety pledges centered on ▲establishing an on-site-focused Gyeonggi Province-style disaster and safety countermeasures headquarters ▲installing a War Game disaster and safety center ▲establishing a big data disaster and safety center.

According to the candidate's "Life Safety Net Construction Plan," when a disaster occurs, the Gyeonggi governor assumes overall responsibility, and the Fire and Disaster Management Director—a disaster and safety expert rather than an administrative bureaucrat—serves as the on-site commander. The Fire and Disaster Management Director will hold all command authority at the scene and serve as the practical on-site responsible person.

Additionally, a system will be established in which disaster experts stand by 24 hours and mobilize within 5 minutes of a disaster to command on-site operations.

The candidate also announced the composition of a Comprehensive Disaster Coordination Meeting that includes all disaster-related agencies such as the military, police, and public and private organizations. The Comprehensive Disaster Coordination Meeting will hold meetings at least once a month and serve as the control tower of the disaster and safety countermeasures headquarters for inter-agency cooperation and policy decisions in the event of a disaster.

The installation of a War Game Disaster and Safety Center was also announced. This allows training and education through simulated disasters, similar to virtual war exercises, and was devised with the aim that disasters must be prepared for as thoroughly and thoroughly as war. Along with this, educational programs including an online training program and a 4D disaster virtual experience center are planned to be installed.

The candidate also pledged a "Big Data Disaster and Safety Center" where disaster situations are automatically reported when a disaster occurs and evacuation guidance by situation is automatically provided.

At the Big Data Disaster and Safety Center, all data related to disasters from 119 calls, police, CCTV (closed-circuit television), road traffic information, and mobile phone text messages are analyzed in real time. Disasters with high likelihood of occurrence are forecasted in advance, and automatic reports are made for ships, vehicles, facilities, and other locations where disasters appear to have occurred.

In addition, according to the "Life Safety Net Construction Plan," when students move in groups such as on school trips, it will be stipulated in an ordinance that safety personnel such as police officers must accompany them.
