ADVISORY ON ROK's NATIONAL CIVIL DEFENSE EXERCISE


1.On Wednesday, 23 August 2023, 1400 H (Korean Standard Time), a National Civil Defense Exercise will be conducted throughout South Korea for 20 minutes. Please be mindful of the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Interior and Safety during the exercise and in cases of public emergency, for everyone's safety.

Ngayong Miyerkules, ika-23 ng Agosto 2023 sa ganap na alas-2 ng hapon ay gaganapin ang pambansang Civil Defense Exercise sa buong South Korea na tatagal nang 20 minuto. Sundan po natin ang tagubilin ng mga kinauukulan sa nasabing exercise at sa panahon ng anumang sakuna para sa ating sariling kaligtasan at seguridad.



2. During the civil defense exercise, drivers must pull over, following the police's instructions, and monitor the local media for official updates. Pedestrians out on the streets must move to the nearest emergency shelter and follow further instructions from the emergency staff until the civil defense alarm is lifted.

Ang nagmamaneho ay dapat pumarada sa gilid ng daan ayon sa tagubilin ng mga autoridad. Ang naglalakad sa kalsada ay kailangang sumilong sa pinakamalapit na emergency shelter. Manatiling nakatutok sa mga opisyal na pahayag at sumunod sa tagubilin ng pulis at emergency staff hanggang ipagbigay-alam ang pagtatapos ng alarm o exercise.

3. Be ready at all times and be aware of the various alert warnings.
