민방위대 창설 이후 50여 년 동안 민방위 전반적인 분야에 많은 변화가 있었다. 민방위 분야의 주요 업무는 전시상황 및 대규모 재난상황 대비업무로 비상사태 시 국민을 보호하고, 전시 지원 업무를 수행하는 포괄적 안보 개념으로 확대된다. 그러나 1975년 민방위대 창설 50여 년간 누적된 민방위 임무 역할 변화와 복합화로 민방위 장비 운용의 효율성이 상실되고 민방위 역량을 초과하는 법적 임무 설정 등으로 현재 운영 장비의 실효성에 논란이 일고 있다. 복잡하고 다종다양한 민방위 장비 체제로는 전·평시 실제적 재난현장에서 통합 역량을 발휘하기에 제한이 있고 민방위대별 민방위 장비 보급기준이 상이하고 보급기준에 따른 임무 수행 가능 범위도 모호하여 실질적인 효과를 발휘하기도 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구는 최적·최소 임무를 기반으로 한 민방위대 편성, 교육과 장비 운용 체제를 통합 일치시킨 새로운 민방위 장비 운용체계 정립의 기초연구로써 민방위대 필수장비 선정을 위하여 재난유형별 임무를 분석하고 장비를 조사하였다.
