These days, anyone, I mean any South Korean who resides in South Korea, receives alerting messages almost every day, which contain recent updates on Corona Virus and important health information. Unfortunately, this is not the case for foreign residents in South Korea. All of this valuable information is delivered in Korean in the form of text messages to individual South Koreans from the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters of Republic of Korea.
South Korean government recognized this problem and innovatively responded to this problem by developing an application for foreign visitors and residents in South Korea: Emergency Ready App. The app provides valuable information for foreigners in English. The information includes COVID 19 updates, the location of police stations, fire stations, and emergency medical centers as well as embassy information and safety guide.
For your understanding, look at some key features of this application below.
You can even call to 119, the emergency hotline, when you feel extremely sick or encounter an accident.
Any foreign citizen residing in Korea should know about this application. Please simply input Emergency Ready App in the PlayStore on your mobile phones!
