  • Purpose: When a disaster occurs, information is collected and sent indiscriminately to the disaster safety situation room, making it difficult to make quick and correct decisions. Therefore, in this study, both the field response team and the situation room attempted to derive the essential information elements for disaster management so that they can identify and respond optimally. Method: In this study, the actual disaster response process was first identified based on the case of large-scale fire disasters in multi-dense facilities. Afterwards, essential information on disaster management was obtained by analyzing the standard manual for large-scale fire crisis management in multi-dense facilities and the fire situation report form prepared at the time of disaster. Result: The Essential information on disaster management was divided into four stages: situation reception·reporting·transmission, total response·regional emergency rescue control group·regional disaster safety task force, operation stage of central emergency rescue control group·central disaster safety task force, and recovery stage. Since then, the information to be collected at each stage and the information relevant to core tasks are presented. Conclusion: The Essential information on disaster management thus obtained can serve as a guide for the person who collects information on site to collect information efficiently. In addition, it is expected that the situation room in charge of disaster response decision-making will receive only the information necessary for decision making, so that it is possible to make a quick situation decision and more efficient disaster situation management.

  • As recent Jecheon and Milyang fire cases show, the need for fire disaster training to prepare for a fire disaster continues to grow. In the event of a disaster, people become mentally confused and are called disaster personalities. In order to survive in a disaster, it is necessary to develop the power to overcome the disaster personality by experiencing the disaster situation in advance. Therefore, training to overcome disaster personality is needed, and virtual reality can be a good training means in that it can experience without physical space. In addition, periodic actual disaster evacuation drills should be carried out to compensate for the shortcomings of virtual reality. In order to introduce fire disaster drill using virtual reality and to spread it to the public, the Korea National VR project should be introduced which benchmarked national PC project which succeeded in the past informatization project. Besides, the Korea National Safety Point system should be integrated to cover disaster preparedness training and building reinforcement. If the national VR project and the national safety point system are introduced successfully, Korea will be the basis for escaping the disgraceful nickname of 'disaster republic'.

  • In December 2017, a fire at the Jecheon Sports Center caused 29 deaths and 40 injuries, and about 2 billion won in property damage. It is a facility used by unspecified people as a publicly used establishment with a piloti structure. The damage was expanded due to the ignition of combustible exterior materials, Lack of fire protection in horizontal and vertical penetrations. Although legislation has improved since the fire, it is not retroactively applied, increasing the risk of fire in existing buildings. Accordingly, it is necessary to examine the case of the Jecheon Sports Center fire and draw out the problems. In this study, the fire simulation results and the Jecheon Sports Center fire are comparatively analyzed and used as basic data for fire reduction measures in publicly used establishment. As a result of the fire simulation drive, in the case of the second floor, the room temperature exceeded the human life safety standard of 60 ℃ after about 700 seconds had passed. In the case of three floor, it is predicted that the indoor temperature will exceed about 350 ℃. and temporary complexation will occur in the indoor combustibles.

  • In previous studies, fire simulation was used to estimate the fire spread path. According to previous studies, the fire spread path was estimated to be the main staircase, but consideration of interior materials and internal bulkheads was insufficient. In this study, the ignition time of the 3rd layer was analyzed using the prediction formula considering the interior materials and internal bulkheads. As a result of referring to the architectural drawings, it was found that the interior material of the 3rd floor was made of polystyrene. The internal ignition time of the third floor using FDTs was calculated to be 14,070 seconds (about 234 minutes). The internal ignition time of the 3rd floor using the Handbook on Design Calculation Methods of Fire Behavior was calculated to be 3,104 seconds (about 51 minutes). As a result of calculating the ignition time through the predictive formula, there is a large difference in the ignition time, so it is necessary to review the condition of the variable as a result of the calculation in the future.

  • As a result of analyzing the fire accident of the Jecheon complex that occurred at the end of 2017, there have been many casualties due to delays in checking the location information of isolated people. In order to prevent such an accident, various research has been conducted to estimate the location of requesters by means of detecting wireless communication information of mobile phones existing at disaster sites. The main concept is to detect an RF signal of a mobile phone at fire sites and, based on this, precisely estimate the location of the mobile phone on the LOS/NLOS. However, it is difficult to get visibility at fire sites due to smoke and the fire. Therefore, apart from estimating the location of requesters, a research is also needed to determine the direction of entry within fire sites. In this paper, we propose a method to determine a direction of entry to provide effective rescue activities using wireless communication information of mobile phones.

  • In this study, we are going to derive problems for fire and safety management in multiple-user Buildings and suggest improvement measures to prevent recurrence through analysis of legal operation status for safety management of multiple-user Buildings and case studies of large-scale fires in multiple-user Buildings. For this study, first, the current state of the industry and fire occurrence status were investigated through theoretical considerations of the multi-use industry, and then the previous research on the multi-use industry was analyzed. and by analyzing the legal and institutional status of multiple-user Buildings, problems were derived through cases such as the Jecheon fire in Chungcheongbuk-do, the Inhyeon-dong fire in Incheon, and the Songpa-gu fire in Seoul. As a result, first, the necessity of strengthening the initial fire response capability. Second, thorough maintenance and management of emergency exits. Third, the need for rational regulation of upholstery. Fourth, reinforcement of fire safety education and training. Fifth, strengthening of installation standards for firefighting and safety facilities. Sixth, we derive the result that it is necessary to raise awareness about safety management, compare and analyze it with legal and institutional contents, and suggest solutions accordingly. When looking at the causes of fires in multi-use buildings, building owners, business owners, and employees think that there is no possibility of a fire occurring in their business premises, so there is a lack of awareness. It is necessary to raise awareness through education and publicity of firefighters and related administrative agencies.

  • From January, 2004 to July, 2007, 97 patients were diagnosed with Acute coronary syndrome(ACS) in Emergency Medical Center in Jecheon City in Korea. Among 97 patients, the prehospital assessment rates were as follows ; blood pressure check(27.80%, pulse rate check(33.0%), respiration check(23.7%). In hospital emergency care, oxygen supply was 52.6%, absolute bed rest was 12.4%, electrocardiogram(EKG) check was 4.1%, and nitroglycerin and intravenous fluid therapy was 0%. Therefore, ACS patients have not received sufficient prehospital cares till now. In order to improve the proficiency of the first aid emergency medical technicians(EMTs), it is necessary to provide the continuing On-the-job training(OJT) programs for prehospital emergency care.

  • In Korea, the results of a field survey on the construction of flammable exterior materials implemented in 2018 revealed that 147,559 buildings belong to this category. It was found that the fire spreading cases in upper and adjacent constructions are about 3,500 per year, the fires of starting in flammable exterior material are about 1,500 per year. In this study, we investigated the repair method of buildings constructed by flammable exterior material and conducted performance verification of each repair materials for prevention of similar fire. In the case of the repair method, a method of reinforcing with a repair material after removing the existing building finishing material and a method of attaching the repair material after performing the face finishing are proposed. In addition, we conducted cone calorimeter tests of 6 materials such as fireproof gypsum board, mineral wool, hard urethane foam, ceramic board and ALC panel as dryvit and repairing materials, and investigated basic combustion performance of that materials.
