National Assembly Speaker of the Republic of Korea Woo Won-shik participated in a civil defense drill held at National Assembly Main Building on August 22.
This civil defense drill, conducted in conjunction with the Ulchi Exercise, simulated a wartime scenario and included an emergency evacuation drill, where participants quickly moved to a designated shelter following an air raid alarm, as well as training on CPR and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for emergency first aid. Speaker Woo actively participated throughout the drill, including CPR and first-aid response exercises.
During the event, Speaker Woo emphasized, "With North Korea’s nuclear threats and recent extreme weather events such as heavy rains and heatwaves, the ability of not only national institutions and public officials but also individuals to respond to emergencies and disasters is more critical than ever. I urge everyone to continuously improve your response capabilities through practical civil defense training.”
He added, “We will work hard together with all staff to protect the National Assembly, a key national institution, from crises and disasters.”
The drill was participated by National Assembly Secretary General Kim Min-ki, Senior Secretary for Political Affairs Kwak Hyun, and Senior Secretary for Policy Lee Won-jeong.
