The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (CDSCHQ) responding to the fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) was lifted 40 days after activation. The disaster alert level for the administrative information system was downgraded from "serious" to "alert." The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said on Nov. 6 that it held a CDSCHQ meeting presided over by Minister Yoon Ho-jung and stated accordingly.
Minister Yoon said, "The 'Safety e-Report,' which allows the public to report safety risk factors in everyday life, was restored the previous day, so the grade 1 and grade 2 systems related to people's lives and safety have all been normalized." The CDSCHQ that went into operation on Sept. 27 is lifted as of today, and the response posture is being shifted to the "Crisis Response Headquarters," one step lower.
As of 6 a.m. that day, 676 out of a total of 709 government systems had been restored. The overall restoration rate is 95.3%. In particular, all 40 grade 1 systems closely tied to daily life were restored 100%. The grade 2 restoration rate is 95.6%, with all but three internal work systems restored: ▲ Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) Labor-Management Nuri ▲ Public Procurement Service proposal video evaluation ▲ Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) mobile e-government system. The restoration rates for grade 3 and grade 4 are 94.3% and 95.6%, respectively.
The government said it will fully normalize the systems by the end of the year. Minister Yoon said, "All systems being restored at the Daejeon center are scheduled to be restored by Nov. 20," adding, "For systems transferred for restoration to the Daegu center (after being lost at the Daejeon center), we are swiftly pushing ahead with infrastructure setup and application migration with the goal of restoring them by Dec. this year."
Minister Yoon said, "We are lowering the alert level, but we will not let down our guard until all systems are normalized," and added, "Seizing on this incident, we will fundamentally redesign the government information system infrastructure so the government can be reborn as a trusted AI (artificial intelligence) democratic administration."
