Seoul's fire and rescue services department created a metaverse-based safety education center where Seoulites can explore evacuation training in case of severe disasters such as an earthquake. The department will release the safety training content on Metaverse Seoul, a virtual platform in which avatar workers handle civic complaints and other administrative services.
Metaverse is a virtual world where anyone can engage in many different social and economic activities using their own avatars. Metaverse platforms require high-speed internet access. With the launch of Metaverse Seoul in January 2023, Seoul became the world's first city to offer services in various sectors including education, tourism, and tax. Seoul Metropolitan Fire & Disaster Headquarters said in a statement that the metaverse training center for complex emergencies will be launched by February 2024. After experiencing a magnitude 7.0 earthquake at a concert hall, users will undergo through emergency procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and fire extinguishing techniques. During the virtual training sessions, trainees can also interact with firefighters via live streaming on YouTube. Source: Aju Daily
