SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 25, 2023 | SaltWireSEOUL - A knot of people jostled and shoved each other on Wednesday in a narrow alleyway in Seoul, before filing patiently past a barricade of police officers in a crowd control drill held ahead of the one-year anniversary of a deadly Halloween crush.
This year, officials in the South Korean capital said they would work with police, emergency services and local officials to ensure"not a single person gets hurt" during Halloween celebrations. Sixteen areas will be specially monitored by officials ready to intervene and disperse people in response to warnings triggered when three or more individuals are counted in every square meter of any given space.
"For that, the central government, not a local government, has to take the lead and come up with a plan to anticipate crowding, manage it, and respond in the event of an emergency."
