Unusual precipitation caused by typhoons and severe rain stormscan threaten human life and property. Thus, various organizations prepare emergency action plans (EAPs) to provide proper guidelines for operators, experts, and emergency response personnel to protect and enhance critical infrastructure. For example, FEMA and DHS have various types of EAPs for dams, levees, and other structures to protect people and property. FEMA defines EAPs as official documents to decrease the damage and impact in emergency situations and to reduce casualties. These documents should consider all possible situations in an emergency and can reduce problems in facility management. This study analyzes EAPs for infrastructure from the USA, Japan, and Korea in order to suggest an ideal EAP framework. EAPcontent can include how to guide experts and operators in disaster stages (mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery), how to operate emergency equipment, and how to protect critical infrastructure and life. The suggested EAP framework performed very well in a test location. It can therefore be used for infrastructure organizations in Korea and to inform of the appropriate processes and methods for risk reduction in flood disasters.

Operating system of CBRNE(Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-yield explosive)) weapon in North Korea has reached an internationally significant level. In preparation against the CBRNE weapon attack, the US is securing various forms of defense shelters and operating it based on classification by disaster characteristics. However, it is currently difficult to expect an efficient protective ability from South Korea due to the reckless designation of defense shelters without consideration of disaster characteristics. At this, this study examined the present condition of formerly used facilities, analyzed the characteristics of each facilities for the sorting of defense shelters that are possible of conversion into shelter against CBRNE weapon, and presented results and proposals gained through this study research.

The objective of this research was to test a hypothesis that sprawl increases congestion, and so the estimated evacuation time become longer. For this, sprawl was thought to be poor accessibility so that vehicle miles of travel become longer. This research shows that the daily vehicle miles per lane mile that are thought to be an accessibility index had a strong and statistically significant relationship to the estimated evacuation time, while urban population density has no statistically significant relationship to the evacuation time. The result of this research recommends that we should consider sustainable land use patterns that decrease traffic demand by providing good accessibility.

본 논문에서는 미국, 영국과 국내의 라디오방송 관련 현황들을 보고, 국내 라디오방송이 미국, 영국 대비 청취율이 1/3 로 낮지만 스마트폰을 이용한 라디오청취율이 증대되고 있으며, 하이브리드라디오 도입이 될 것이므로, 라디오 방송 청취율이 더욱 증가할 것으로 전망하였다. 아울러 이동통신망이 불능화되는 대형재난상황을 대비하고 라디오 청취율을 증대시키기 위해 추진되는 하이브리드라디오의 도입에 있어 고려되어야 요구사항들과 서비스 방안들을 제시하였다. 본고의 내용은 하이브리드라디오도입을 위한 정책과 서비스 기획 및 시스템 설계에 참고가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 실패한 구조물에 초점을 맞추어 조사를 진행하였다. 실패한 구조물은 구조적, 역학적, 환경적 부정합으로 인해 구조물이 붕괴된 경우로 인명 피해가 발생한 것으로 정의하였다. 삼풍백화점과 성수대교의 국내 사례와 방글라데시 라나 플라자, 미국 미시시피 강 교량의 국외 사례를 통하여, 각각의 붕괴사고의 원인을 규명하였으며, 붕괴사고의 해결책을 모색하고 체계적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 구조물의 붕괴 뿐 만이 아니라, 다방면의 재난을 예방 및 방지할 수 있는 연계 시스템의 확립 또한 강조하였으며, 사고방지를 위해 변화하는 시방서 및 기준에 대하여도 언급하였다.

항공기 사고시에 탑승객의 생존성을 제고하기 위한 방법으로 충돌/충격 전, 충격방지자세 Brace Position를 취하도록 하는 것이 전 세계 항공사의 공통적인 안전 매뉴얼이다. 해당 매뉴얼은 1980년대 미국 NTSB에서 항공기 사고를 조사하면서 생존 특성을 연구한 이후 처음 정형화 되었고 이후 현재까지 일반적으로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 허드슨강의 기적으로 불리는 2009년 1월 15일 US Airways 1549편의 비상착수 사고에서 항공기의 큰 구조적인 손상이 없었음에도 불구하고 탑승객 일부가 중상을 입는 결과를 초래하여 이를 계기로 기존의 충격방지자세 적절성을 재검토하여 개선하는 움직임이 있었다. 이에 관련 연구자료를 분석하여 국내 적용 방안을 살피고 또한 추가적인 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

With an entry into force of OPRC-HNS on June 14th 2007, response system against any large scale accidents related to HNS is required to respond rapidly and effectively in a national scale, US national response system and national contingency plan for any chemicals in operation were analyzed to understand the characteristics of management system and response system for any HNS driven accidents in the Us. Main characteristics of the US system were well described as an unified information window and an integrated incident command system supported by response facilities, manpower and technical support from other response organizations through good cooperation. In general, response activities are conducted by private sectors, however, the government will take over response activities in case large scale accidents occur in the Us. Expected expenses for response activities are covered by a type of Superfund in the Us. Several applicable ways are proposed to enable NGO to participate in and reorganize response system in ROK, and are feasible in collaboration with other response organizations and private sectors in the aspects of equipment, technology and manpower, Based upon the above activities, it is desirable to reorganize domestic rules and/or regulations related to response measures in ROK.

Recently, the number of disasters has been seriously increasing. The total damages by the natural or man-made disasters during the past years resulted in tremendous fatalities and recovery costs. It is necessary to have efficient emergency evacuation management which is concerned with identifying evacuation route, and the estimation of evacuation and clearance times. An emergency evacuation model is important in identifying critical locations, and developing various evacuation strategies. In that existing evacuation models have focused on route analysis for indoor evacuation, there are only a few models for areawide emergency evacuation analysis. Therefore, we developed a mesoscopic model by using Cube Avenue and performed evacuation simulation, targeting road network in City of Fargo, North Dakota. Consequently, a mesoscopic model developed in this study is used to carry out dynamic analysis using network and input variable of existing travel demand model. The results of this study show that the model is an appropriate tool for areawide emergency evacuation analysis to save time and cost. Henceforth, the results of this study can be applied to develop a disaster evacuation model which can be used for a variety of disaster simulation and evaluation based on scenarios in the local metropolitan area.

This paper is to show the long-term roadmap by analyzing the development trend for the safety technology of facility disaster in the country and abroad, and it is designed to plan the long term and roadmap in response to change the disaster environment. Recently in the country, it is increasing the needs of the long term roadmap design of the facility disaster research development in the facility disaster, by the repidly of the social and the living and the related governments response's changing. The U.S. is going to develop the disaster responding research by planning the its master plans, including the NRF (National Responing Framwork), the NIMS (National Incident Management System), and its sinarios etc.. Japan is going to develop the research planning in the annual report of the disaster prevention, and we going to do the study projects about the facility disaster area with the NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency) and NDMI (National Disaster Management Institute). This paper is showed to design the long term roadmap of the facility disaster's study development, and to minimize the damage of the man and his property, and to set the study development system of the national facility disaster, and furthering to make the resilient planning in changing of the facility disaster's environment.

There are many institutes which manage the disaster protection resources in their system. The system of the institutes is not mutually compatible, because there is no standard framework of the classification and identification for the disaster management resources. NIMS of FEMA defines the classification and identification framework for the incident resources. All incidents management system of USA including IRIS and webEOC follows the standard resources framework. The aim of the classification and identification of the resources provides the resources list for the disaster and supports to find the resources information efficiently. In this study, we defined the classification and identification of the resources considering the compatibility with the international standard and the field requirements.
