The third floor is used for rescue training and consists of a rescue training room, screening room, training for professionals and video examples of the five biggest disasters that have occurred in Seoul. Overall there are about 20 training areas established, so citizens can experience the imitation of a disaster by themselves and learn easily and in an interesting way how to cope with a disaster.
