‘K-Safety’: Introducing Korea’s Disaster Response Model

Kang Dae-hoon, chief of the Gyeonggi Northern Fire and Disaster Headquarters, briefs foreign journalists on the operation of the Northern 119 Control Center in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, on November 27, 2025. The center integrates command, intelligence, and call operations with 94 personnel working in four teams on a two-shift system, alongside four police captains. It also provides 24-hour teleconsultation with emergency medicine specialists for overseas Koreans, a system introduced by Kang to reduce delays caused by language barriers.
