Emergency Ready App: disaster alerts and shelters in English
How foreign residents can use the Emergency Ready App and prepare for alerts in Korea.
Korea uses public alerts for weather, disasters, safety incidents, and emergency guidance. The Emergency Ready App is a useful tool for foreign residents who want disaster information and shelter guidance in languages other than Korean. Install the app before you need it. Allow notifications, set your region, and learn where shelter and emergency information appears. Also save key phone numbers separately in case data service is unstable. Alerts can be frequent and sometimes difficult to interpret. When a warning affects your area, follow official instructions first, check local government updates, and avoid spreading unverified screenshots or rumors.
