Abstract
We surveyed the coastal structure damages due to the typhoon 'Mae-mi' which heavily struck Korean peninsula in September 12, 2003. The survey revealed the typhoon induced high tides and strong winds were the main causes especially in Busan areas. Though some experimental real time coastal monitoring stations captured the typhoon movements at the critical time, more systematic and complete systems should be implemented to save human lives and properties from huge typhoon disasters.
