The first major news is that the government plans to overhaul the national safety management system in connection with the Itaewon disaster.

In order to prevent large-scale accidents such as the Itaewon disaster, the national safety management system will be overhauled.

Ministry of Public Administration and Security came up with a 'comprehensive plan to reorganize the government-wide national safety system' three months after the Itaewon disaster occurred.



First of all, an 'on-site crowd management system' is introduced to prevent accidents that occur when a large number of people gather in a small space, such as the Itaewon disaster.



Using state-of-the-art information and communication technologies such as CCTV and floating population information at base stations, population density was observed in real time, and disaster situation rooms were operated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by all local governments across the country.



In particular, for crowd management, all CCTVs in local governments across the country are scheduled to be replaced with intelligent ones by 2027. Advanced intelligent CCTVs detect crowds in dangerous areas in real time, send out automatic warnings, and promptly notify the disaster situation room.



The authority of local governments to respond to disasters will also be strengthened.



In the event of a large-scale disaster, the governors of cities and provinces were required to preemptively declare a disaster and oversee the response of the police and fire departments.



In addition, a minimum of KRW 16 million to a maximum of KRW 36 million will be provided for home propagation to help disaster victims recover daily.



The national disaster management system and safety information system, which were criticized for not working properly during the Itaewon disaster, will also be integrated and reorganized into 'Disaster Management 24' by next year.



In particular, it has been made mandatory for local governments and disaster-related government agencies to use disaster safety communication networks at all times, and to conduct practical training once a week starting this year.
