Researchers have increased their interest in effectively managing the disaster that appear in large scale and complex form. There are two types of disaster information, which are unstructured text data and structured data. Unstructured text data usually refers to text documents that have been referenced by disaster management personnel such as disaster manuals and related regulations, while structured data refers to various disaster information build in the disaster related organization system. This paper proposes a methodology of constructing a disaster information sharing system that enables joint use of disaster related organizations through the establishment of a mutual linkage system by utilizing both unstructured and structured form of disaster information. Especially, Based on the linkage information between structured earthquake information in earthquake related system and earthquake manuals and countermeasures against earthquake disaster, we propose a service that provides the necessary information for earthquake management. It is expected that the task manager will perform effective earthquake state management by acquiring the integrated structured and unstructured earthquake information of the ministries and related organizations.

Many islands are scattered around the southern area of the Korean Peninsula and they may be very vulnerable to unexpected tsunami attacks. During the East Japan Tsunami Event occurred on March 11, 2011, many islands located at the southern area were affected by tsunamis. In this study, maximum run-up heights of solitary waves on a circular island with asymmetrical crest lengths investigated by using a numerical model based on the shallow-water theory. The obtained results could be used by local authorities to establish a defense plan against unexpected tsunami invasion.

In an effort to further exploit the peak ground-motion acceleration (PGA) information per second available in real time by the enacted law, bracketed summations of the PGA per second ($BSPGA_k$) for 30 seconds based on the records with a rate of 100 samples were compared with the cumulative absolute velocity (CAV) and earthquake intensities based on a worldwide database of records from small-to-large earthquakes. The CAV, currently in use as an earthquake damage indicator for nuclear power plants due to its strong correlation with the earthquake intensity, has the disadvantage of requiring a massive amount of digital data with a rate of more than 100 samples per second. The comparative study shows that the $BSPGA_k$ is well correlated with the CAV over the wide range of strong ground-motion levels, which suggests that the $BSPGA_k$ is one of the new promising ground-motion parameters especially useful for rapid earthquake alert notifications through an earthquake monitoring network. Based on the domestic database of records from small-to-moderate earthquakes with felt reports, it is also observed that the $BSPGA_k$ is comparable to the CAV and better than the PGA in predicting the intensity by using the correlation relation.

The principal basic concepts of aseismic design minimize damage of human-life and have little probability during life of structures. For detailed understanding of the design, the best reasonable countermeasure can be possible equally the smallest damage of human-life and economic loss. As a result, it can be achieved by notion of not structure-centered but city-centered, the notion is actualized by development of a macro-level evaluation. A seismic damage between city and country is different. And the larger the city then, the greater the loss by rather collateral hazards than collapse of structures. Hence, the macro-evaluation of an earthquake disaster is suitable for an old city where is center of political and economic activity, and is concentration of population and infrastructure. This study aims to develop comprehensive earthquake desaster risk index, and assesses relative earthquake risk of six zones in Seoul metropolitan area.

Large-scale earthquakes are occurring globally, especially in the South Asian crust, which is experiencing a state of tension in the aftermath of the 2011 East Japan Earthquake. Uncertainty and fear regarding the possibility of further seismic activity in the near future have been on the rise in the region. The National Disaster Management Research Institute has previously studied and analyzed the overflow characteristics of a tsunami and the rate of flood forecasting through tsunami numerical simulations of the East Sea of South Korea. However, there is currently a significant lack of research on the Southern Coast tsunamis compared to the East Coast. On the Southern Coast, the tidal difference is between 1~4 m, and the impact of the tides is hard to ignore. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the impact of the tide propagation characteristics on the tsunami. Occurrence regions that may cradle tsunamis that affect the southern coast region are the Ryukyu Island and Nankai Trough, which are active seafloor fault zones. The Southern Coast has not experienced direct damage from tsunamis before, but since the possibility is always present, further research is required to prepare precautionary measures in the face of a potential event. Therefore, this study numerically simulated a hypothetical tsunami scenario that could impact the southern coast of South Korea. In addition, the tidal wave propagation characteristics that emerge at the shore due to tide and tsunami interactions will be analyzed. This study will be used to prepare for tsunamis that might occur on the southern coast through tsunami hazard and risk analysis.

Following the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, the Pohang Earthquake occurred in 2017, and the south-east region in Korea is under the threat of an earthquake. Especially, in the Pohang Earthquake, the liquefaction phenomenon occurred in the sedimentation area of the coast, and preparation of countermeasures is very important. The soil liquefaction can affect the underground facilities directly as well as various structures on the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the liquefaction risk of facilities and the structures against the possible earthquakes and to prepare countermeasures to minimize them. In this study, we investigated the seismic liquefaction risk about the electric power utility tunnels in the southeast area where the earthquake occurred in Korea recently. In the analysis of seismic liquefaction risk, the earthquake with return period 1000 years and liquefaction potential index are used. The liquefaction risk analysis was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the liquefaction risk was analyzed by calculating the liquefaction potential index using the ground survey data of the location of electric power utility tunnels in the southeast region. At that time, the seismic amplification in soil layer was considered by soil amplification factor according to the soil classification. In the second stage, the liquefaction risk analysis based on the site response analyses inputted 3 earthquake records were performed for the locations determined to be dangerous from the first step analysis, and the final liquefaction potential index was recalculated. In the analysis, the site investigation data were used from the National Geotechnical Information DB Center. Finally, it can be found that the proposed two stage assessments for liquefaction risk that the macro assessment of liquefaction risk for the underground facilities including the electric power utility tunnel in Korea is carried out at the first stage, and the second risk assessment is performed again with site response analysis for the dangerous regions of the first stage assessment is reasonable and effective.

During the last decades several devastating tsunamis have been occurred. Recently, there have been increasingly concerned about tsunamis around the Korean Peninsula since the 2004 Sumatra Tsunami occurred on December 26, 2004. In general, the Korean Peninsula is not safe against potential tsunami attacks. The 1983 Central East Sea Tsunami and the 1993 Hokkaido Tsunami caused considerable damage to the Eastern Part of the Peninsula. Thus, a prediction of damage due to tsunamis must be required at the Eastern Part of the Peninsula. In this study, numerical simulation of tsunamis at Pohang New Port, one of the most important ports in the Eastern Part of Korea, is conducted for three different tsunami events. Numerical simulation is focused on inundation on the port and run-down around an intake structure which supplies cooling water to the porthinterland. The computed results show that Pohang New Port is damaged by the most dangerous tsunami which can be generated in the East Sea. Thus, it is required to set up a counter-measure against tsunami attacks at Pohang New Port.
