Korean Government decided to establish the Ministry of National Emergency Management and has reformed the emergency management system due to Sewol ferry disaster. These efforts has been focused on the hardware rather than the software. All-hazard approach has been employed as the one of main principles in the emergency management in the United States. All-hazards approach concerns arrangements for managing the large range of possible effects of risks and emergencies. Once the priority of risks and emergencies is decided, agencies prepare for them. In addition, interagency collaboration is critical for the preparation of risks and emergencies such as cooperation with local governments instead of FEMA alone. It is necessary to consider employing all-hazard approach for the Ministry of National Emergency Management. Moreover, 'Korean All-hazard approach' should be developed in order to manage upcoming emergencies.

2016년 경주지진, 2018년 밀양 세종병원 화재사고, 2019년 강원도 동해안 산불, 2020년 코로나바이러스감염증-19 재난까지 매년 다양한 유형의 재난이 발생하면서 재난대응에 대한 관심 역시 커지고 있다. 정부는 물론 각 지자체에서 재난유형별로 재난대응 매뉴얼에 따라 체계적으로 해당 재난에 대한 대응을 실시하고 있으나 중앙 상황실과 현장 간 소통의 어려움, 의사결정의 지연 등으로 인해 신속한 대응방안 수립 및 피해상황 파악에 있어서 미흡한 대처를 보여주어 질타를 받기도 하였다. 본 연구에서는 중앙 상황실과 현장 간의 원활한 소통과 재난으로 발생한 피해현황 및 응급복구 계획 등을 신속하게 수립할 수 있도록 군부대에서 사용하고 있는 공통작전상황도(Common Operating Picture, 이하 COP)의 개념을 재난대응 체계에 도입하여 제시하고자 한다. 공통작전상황도는 미군이 군사적인 대응을 위하여 정보공유 차원에서 처음으로 사용되었으며, 미국연방재난관리청(Federal Emergency Management Agency, 이하 FEMA)이 현재 재난상활 발생 시 의사결정을 지원하기 위한 시스템으로 개발하여 활용하고 있다. 이를 구성하는 요소들은 재난발생시 가장 기초적인 정보(신고사항, 기상정보, 시민제보 등) 뿐 만 아니라 현장에 관한 정보(구체적인 대응상황, 요구사항 등)까지 다루어지고 있으며, 결국 공통작전상황도는 이를 모두 관리할 수 있는 하나의 통합플랫폼이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재난상황에서 공통작전상황도를 활용한 해외사례 분석과 국내 도입 시각 재난유형별로 공통작전상황도에 필요한 정보요소들을 1차적으로 확인함으로써 새로운 재난대응 시스템의 필요함을 강조하고자 한다.

Today's high-rise buildings are increasing concern about the safety and evacuation of people related to the fire and threat from outside. Terrorism breaking out in high-rise buildings, a symbol of the national economy results in a number of casualties, economic loss, social fear and damage to national status. That's why high-rise building has also emerged as a target of major terrorist attacks, compared to other types of buildings. We have 54 high-rise buildings in 15 regions over the country. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Seoul Metropolitan Government have offered the guidelines to prevent terrorist attacks toward high-rise buildings. Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed and taken advantage of the Risk Management Manual Series. According to this manual, pre-assessment is conducted for the prevention of terrorism and particularly in FEMA 455, risk of the surrounding areas, vulnerability, possibility from terrorist attacks are checked. After the check, experts classify the risk of terrorist attacks toward the high-rise buildings and according to the risk classification, architects, security experts and structure engineers can carry out terrorism prevention program for high-rise buildings. The U.K. NaCTSO has also offered the terrorism prevention guidelines. Therefore, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Seoul Metropolitan Government should make more concrete guidelines for high-rise buildings such as what U.S. FEMA and U.K. NaCTSO implement, including prior evaluation technique for terrorism risk.

The Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on the Management of Disasters and Safety Article 3-2 specifies two 'disaster management supervision agencies' for responding to shipping disasters. These are the Korea Coast Guard, which is an on-scene disaster-responding and coordinating agency, and the Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries, which is a government department, thereby leading to possibilities for confusion. In the case of shipping disasters, where a personnel entitled full power to deal with shipping disasters is designated and his/her powers and duties are clearly made, relationship of leading and supporting agencies is made clear, and command system is simplified, an efficient response to shipping disasters is made possible. In the management of shipping disasters, all the disaster management processes, that is, prevention-preparedness-response-recovery, should be dealt with systematically and consistently. Notably, to swiftly and efficiently cope with a disastrous situation, the decision-making and command system must be simplified. The establishment of a command system and decision-making must be made independently, based on expertise. In the US, irrespective of the type of disasters, the FEMA plays a leading role and the USCG responds a response to maritime disasters by establishing the Incident Command System or Unified Command System that is an incident management system. In the UK, the MCA supervises an event and responds to it, and the SOSREP has full power to work with command and coordination independently. SOSREP, among others, is necessary to prevent an inefficient dealing of a shipping disaster owing to confrontation between participants. With reference to such leading States' practice, the Korean government should make a standardized and simplified response to maritime disasters. This study deals with a new maritime disaster responding system and provides an idea of the revision of the existing legal regime.
