  • Disasters are now becoming commonplace and especially the vulnerable group such as the disabled, the elderly, children and foreigners are in a state of overlapping disasters. In this situation, ATSC 3.0-based UHDTV disaster information service for the visually and hearing impaired has been developing. This study focuses on the demand data collected through in-depth interview with the impaired. The demand analysis data is very important to development process of technology. The results of the interview show that it is essential to link the UHDTV disaster signals with home-network, IoT, wearable devices, and various assistive devices for the impaired (hearing aid, smart light bulbs, warning light, etc.). In outdoor space, UHDTV disaster information must be connected to public display media, digital signage, kiosk, screens in bus or taxi. If communication aids for the visually and hearing impaired are equipped with a function that can transmit and receive disaster information, it will help to minimize disaster damage.

  • Coastal cities need disaster planning that accounts for the complex causes of environmental disasters such as high tides or tsunamis generated by typhoons, and of river or lowland flooding caused by heavy rains, etc. The elements of the disaster map were initially defined using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to allow for efficient information management. Complex disaster information elements were thus established in this study to create a disaster map of coastal cities. The range of information required for coastal cities includes the type of disaster, evacuation methods, available sheltering facilities, and learning content. These informational elements are intended to build on spatial information based on data available from the Ministry of Public Safety and Security as well as local governments.

  • Purpose: In emergency situations such as earthquakes, heavy rains, typhoons, or fires, when quick delivery of emergency alerts is crucial, the hearing impaired are the ones who are the most disadvantaged and vulnerable when alerts are only delivered through auditory or text alerts. They can't perceive auditory information, and many have difficulties in fast understanding text-based alerts. Method: An alert system that can deliver pictograms for specific disaster situations has been devised. Then, a novel approach based on artificial intelligence has been studied so that the pictograms for specific disaster situations can be chosen instantly once a disaster alert is issued in text. Result: A disaster alert system that delivers pictograms for specific disaster situations was developed and a novel method has been suggested for automatic delivery. Conclusion: A system to instantaneously deliver disaster alert information in pictograms has been developed to improve alert delivery to the populations vulnerable to disaster due to hearing impairment by the instantaneous understanding of disaster situations through visual information.

  • The disaster preparedness system in Korea has been developed in spite of many obstacles, but there are still many problems for response to newly emerging terrorisms due to the existing problems of disaster response system. The newly emerging terrorism in 21th century like biochemical terrorism has made us focus on terrorism preparedness, but health and medical aspect of terrorism has been overlooked. The health disaster system is more necessary for 21th terrorism response as well as the disaster engineering, economic and administrative aspects. The disaster preparedness system for bioterrorism has been developed by Ministry of Health with syndromic surveillance system and no case has been found in Korea yet and the resources of personnel and equipment as decontamination system in medical facilities are lacking in case of chemical terrorism. So through the multiple access method reflecting the risk factors in real terrorism field and human based health disaster concept, the disaster preparedness and response system to make up for the weak point should be suggested.

  • Recent disasters are a complex and growing trend. In order to effectively prepare for and respond to disasters that occur without notice, it is very important to use scientific information related to disaster and safety in addition to the standardized disaster safety information that is used. In this paper, we searched and selected major journals in the field of disaster & safety and conducted various network analysis studies using the classification scheme for development of integrated metadata for disaster & safety information developed through Disaster & Safety Information Sharing Platform R&D project as well as KSCD. Also, we have constructed and analyzed citation network, co-authorship network and keyword network through data identification and preprocessing of research paper contents. As a result of this study, based on the network constructed by information analysis unit, the network structure between core domestic and foreign journals, major research institutes, core keywords and individual information by disaster & safety type was identified in detail, and the analysis results were presented on a case-by-case basis.

  • As disaster number increases, governmental institutions is trying to construct effective disaster information system. Especially, most institutions are using disaster information system based on GIS such as electronic disaster map. However, most previous systems have vulnerability when connecting to the another systems because systems consider only specific area and system is independent data structure. Above all things, existing have to put a lot of time and effort because system need direct work course for service. Therefore, this paper implements quick and methodical disaster information service via study of data code and map, microblog service from internet portal site.

  • China is one of the few countries where natural disaster strike frequently and cause heavy damage. In this paper, we mathematically develop two models to assess fuzzy risk of natural disaster in China. One is to assess the risk based on database of historical disaster effects by using information diffusion method relevant in fuzzy information analysis. In another model, we give an overview over advanced method to calculate the risk of release, exposure and consequence assessent, where information distribution technique is used to calculate basic fuzzy relationships showing historical experience of natural disasters, and fuzzy approximate inference is employed to study loss risk based on these basic relationships. We also present an examples to show how to use the first model. Result show that the model is effective for natural disaster risk assessment.

  • In this paper, we conducted a study on ways to not only check disaster information on smart-phone in the event of a disaster, but also simultaneously check it on wearable devices using short-range wireless communication. Wearable devices commonly used include such devices as wireless earphones, smart bands and smart-watches. Among these devices are smart-watches that allow users to view disaster information in the event of a disaster. However, because current disaster message can only check on smart-phones, research was conducted on how to deliver disaster information received from smart-phones to smart-watches. If studies such as this paper continue, we will be able to recognize disasters more efficiently in the event of a disaster and to carry out preparations for them.
