A Study on the Roles of Local Disaster Response Organizations

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the organizations for responses in disaster fields to cope with large-scaled disasters including Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Response Unit, Emergency Support Center, and Field Command Center (Field Command Office). According to the results of the analysis, the problems of the organizations for responses in local disaster fields are; 1) the scopes of roles among the organizations for responses in disaster fields are ambiguous, 2) the structures of the organizations for responses in disasters are different each other, 3) the integrated management functions among the organizations for responses in disasters are overlapped, and 4) the one who assumes the integrated command is not defined. In order to improve the problems, first, the range of working of each organization for responses in local disaster fields should be definitely established and an agreement in services among the organizations should be settled in advance. Second, similar designs in the structure among the organizations for responses in disasters are necessary for amicable communication. Third, the works for integration and management for each organization for responses should be apportioned. Fourth, the organization in charge and the one who assumes the integrated command for each type of disasters should be appointed in advance for rapid decision-making.

지역 재난현장 대응조직의 역할에 관한 연구

본 논문은 대규모 재난발생시 재난을 수습하는 재난현장 대응조직인 재난안전대책본부, 긴급구조통제단, 비상지원본부, 현장지휘대(현장지휘소)를 비교분석한 결과, 지역 재난현장 대응조직의 문제점으로 첫째, 재난현장 대응조직간 역할범위가 모호하고, 둘째, 재난대응기관간 조직구조가 다르며, 셋째, 재난현장 대응조직간 총괄 조정기능이 중복되어 있고, 넷째, 총괄지휘권자의 미지정을 지적하였다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 첫째, 지역 재난현장 대응조직별로 명확한 업무범위 지정과 사전에 재난대응기관간 업무협정을 체결하여야 하고, 둘째, 원활한 의사소통을 위해 재난대응 조직간 동일한 조직구조설계가 필요하며, 셋째, 각 재난현장 대응조직별로 총괄 조정기능 업무를 분담하고, 넷째, 신속한 의사결정을 위하여 재난유형별 재난대응 책임기관과 총괄지휘권자를 미리 지정하여야 할 것이다.
