  • Standard Incident Command System in Korea is that Incident Command System for Emergency Rescue Operation, which is commanded only by Fire Fighting Agencies. However, in the event of a disaster such as the flood, storm, or landslide disaster, there are many disaster response activities performed by the General Public Officers at the disaster on-scene. Yet, there isn't an Natural Disaster Command System for the General Public Officers in Korea. Thus, we have studied the response activities needed cooperation among agencies and proposed some considerations of the Natural Disaster Command System for General Public Officers. The system will be useful to response and recover disaster rapidly, seamlessly, and cooperatively among General Public Officers and the related agencies.

  • Every year, the complexity and scale of disasters are growing. Cooperation between institutions must occur in order to adequately respond to urgent situations caused by these disasters. However, agencies and institutions tend to operate separately, which impose limitations to an integrated disaster response. To combat this problem, the subject of this study: 'Korean standardized integrated response system For disaster site' proposes to develop a response system that is applicable to disasters of all types and scales. Standard Formation, SOP (Standard Operation Procedure), and Standard Terms have been developed to be applicable to various institutions and agencies. The necessity for legal and institutional support to actualize the standardized system is focused on. Utilizing a standardized integrated response system will enable a unified command and control structure at disaster sites, clarify each institution's response tasks, and allow clear and efficient communication among response entities. Ultimately, these benefits will improve efficiency and performance in disaster response efforts.

  • Aging of the fire organizations, typical disaster response agencies also will be in serious problems with aging society. It is expected that the ratio of more than fifties will reach 31~40% after 10~15 years in Seoul fire organization. This Aging of firefighters can bring about a serious problem in disaster and safety management, since firefighters require robust fitness and healthy bodies in disaster situations. In this study, after the analysis of aging status and trend of firefighters in Seoul, I have an empirical analysis about the impact this aging has on organization effectiveness and QA. As a result, the increase of the elderly reduced organization effectiveness and QA. In addition, in the group consisting of less than 50, it is expected to increase the organization's effectiveness and QA activities through field activity to improve the professional skills with age, but could not be confirmed. In the group consisting of more than fifties, it was found that aging had a significant negative impact on organizational effectiveness and QA activities as factors, including physical deterioration by aging.

  • In the current times, large-scale disasters, such as the recent sinking of Se-Wol ferry, are occurring continuously and unexpectedly. In order to minimize damage in the disaster scene, quick delivery and sharing of information between crisis management agencies is one of crucial factors that determine the scale of the damage. However, ineffective communication persists between the agencies in disaster scenes where disaster management action has to be carried out urgently. For that, this research focused on the actual condition of the inter-agency communication method and wireless operations, and also suggested the building plan of effective and efficient networking through understanding of each agency's present state and duties.

  • In this paper, we propose the controllability function and service design to efficiently implement the control of the disaster communication network, using Internet of Things(IoT) Technology. In accordance with the spread of Information Communication Technology(ICT), the era for building a disaster communications system without exclusion over the entire areas has emerged. National wireless mesh networks for public safety and disaster relief have been evolving to strengthen the pre-disaster response system using the latest technologies through the convergence of various technologies and services from the viewpoint of the command and control between disaster response agencies. In line with such a technological paradigm shift, the controllability of the objects in the IoT has been emerging as a key quality requirement of a disaster communications system. In this study, the objects are classified by the subject of control according to the IoT component, such as data, network resources and services in order to effectively implement their controllability. In addition, based on the destination of this controllability, technologies and services have been designed that can reduce the damage caused by disasters. Technologies and services that were derived from this study must be implemented in the current disaster safety network systems together with the establishment of an infrastructure for the networks in order that all persons are able to effectively utilize the disaster communications system for their safety.

  • Forest fires generate many types of risk as well as a wide and varied range of damage. Various studies and systems have emerged in response to wildfire disasters. International wildfire disaster safety management systems apply advanced technologies such as utilizing big data, GIS-based systems, and decision-making systems. This study analyzes South Korea's and other countries' forest fire disaster safety management systems, and suggests alternatives for wildfire disaster safety management in Korea. First, a means of integrating information, including field information, obtained by domestic agencies is proposed. Second, a method of applying big data to the disaster response system is proposed. Third, a decision-making system is applied to an existing GIS-based system. When applying the above countermeasures to Korea's existing disaster safety management system, various information and data can be visualized and thus more easily identified, leading to more effective decision-making and reduced fire damage.

  • The heterogeneous emergency communication radios is used at disaster management agencies of Korea to response activity in the event of disaster. The compensation method by communication connection time difference is necessary to seamless voice communication because radios have different communication method and delay. In this paper, we suggested solution for voice transmission chance and data loss problem.

  • The rapid response of disaster accidents can be archived through the organical involvement of various disaster and safety control agencies. To define the terminology of disaster safety is essential for communication between disaster safety agencies and well as announcement for the public. Also, to efficiently construct a word dictionary of disaster safety terminology, it's necessary to define the priority of the terms. In order to establish direction of word dictionary construction, this paper compares the usage of disaster safety terminology by media: word dictionary, new media, and social media, respectively. Based on the terminology resources collected from each media, we visualized the distribution of terminology according to frequency weights and analyzed co-occurrence patterns. We also classified the types of terminology into four categories and proposed the priority in the construction of disaster safety word dictionary.
