Even well trained personnel may fall victim to panic, and a wrong assessment of the situation can turn a small accident into a huge disaster. At the disaster site, the event is commonly broadcasted in real time and is unfiltered. Thus, the commander of the site must be able to accurately assess the scene while not missing out on key considerations. Despite the necessity of good situational assessment, there is barely any research on this topic. This study utilizes METT-TC(Mission, Enemy, Troops, Terrain and weather, Time available, and Civil considerations) which is used by militaries to assess combat situations, and proposes MORT-TAC(Mission, Object, Resources available, Terrain and weather, Time available, Ability, and Civil considerations) as factors to consider in effectively controlling the disaster site. The standard model is used for assessing disaster scenes by applying the Delphi analytical method on each sub-factor of MORT-TAC.

Purpose: This paper aims to verify the applicability of MORT-TAC and expand the scope of research by studying disaster cases using MORT-TAC, a factor for considering disaster site situation evaluation presented in Dr. Kim Sung-geun's doctoral thesis. Method: In order to achieve the research purpose, disaster cases were studied using MORT-TAC, focusing on literature research. Result: The Disaster Site Situation Assessment Consideration Element (MORT-TAC) can be used as a useful research methodology in studying disaster cases and allows a three-dimensional understanding of the disaster site through disaster site situation assessment. Conclusion: Studying disaster cases using MORT-TAC, a factor considering the situation evaluation of disaster sites, is useful for improving the expertise of disaster officials and gaining insight into disaster sites
