Free 119 Emergency Safety Training for Expats in Busan (March 8)

 

Essential Safety Guide for Expats: Free 119 Emergency Training in Busan

Living in a new country is an exciting adventure, but it also comes with the responsibility of knowing how to stay safe in unfamiliar environments. For foreign residents in Korea, understanding the local emergency response system is not just helpful—it's essential. Language barriers and different safety protocols can lead to confusion during real-life emergencies such as fires, earthquakes, or sudden medical crises.

That is why the Busan Foreign Residents Center is hosting a hands-on safety training session at the Busan 119 Safety Experience Center. This is not just a lecture; it is a practical opportunity to "learn with your body" and gain the confidence needed to protect yourself and your loved ones.
