Chairman Seok emphasized, “We must promote a reorganization of the overall disaster and safety management through a major change in the safety paradigm regarding the perspectives, methods, and actions (practices) of national disaster and safety management.”

He emphasized the need for a ‘great change in perspective’, ‘transition to regular disaster management including prediction and recovery’ and ‘reorganization of systems and systems so that they work in the field rather than introducing new systems.’

As a ‘major change in method’, the importance of ‘disaster safety management based on digital platforms and science and technology’ and ‘disaster safety management in which all members of society participate, from government (supplier) centered to consumer and field centered’ was emphasized.

As a ‘great change in behavior’, he emphasized ‘spreading a safety culture that all citizens practice and act on in their daily lives.’

Chairman Seok said, “In conclusion, the main characteristics of the Yoon Seok-yeol government’s disaster and safety policy are evaluation of life-centeredness, collaboration, technological innovation, and strengthening field-oriented capabilities.” He added, “If future risk communication and disaster conflict management policies are effectively implemented, disaster-resistant policies will be developed.” “It appears that Korea will become a safer society,” he claimed.
