  • 최근 선제적인 가뭄대응을 위하여 관계부처가 상시 가뭄 관리체계를 지속하고, 범정부적 가뭄예방 대처를 위한 가뭄종합대책이 수립되었다. 가뭄종합대책에는 통합적 가뭄 위기대응체계를 마련해 단계별로 가뭄에 체계적으로 대응하고, 극한가뭄에 대비해 선제적 용수확보와 가뭄 전문가 지역 협의체 운영 등을 통해 대응 역량을 강화하는 계획이 포함되어있다. 또한 국가재난관리체계에 따라 지자체는 지역별 재난안전대책본부를 수립하고, 현장조치 행동메뉴얼에 따라 단계별 제한급수대책 수립, 재난대응 단계별 행동요령 (징후 감지, 초기 대응, 비상 대응) 등을 수행한다. 이처럼 가뭄은 발생 후 해갈까지 많은 시간과 지속적인 관리가 필요하며, 사회전반에 걸처 영향을 주는 대형복합재난으로 국가적 차원의 통합적 관리가 필요한 재난으로 국가가뭄대응체계 및 비상대처계획 (Emergency Action Plan, EAP) 수립이 필요하다. 미국은 1998년 국가가뭄정책법(National Drought Policy Act)을 제정해 가뭄관리에 대한 법제도적 기반을 마련하였으며, 2006년 국가통합가뭄정보시스템법 (National Integrated Drought Information System Act)을 제정해(Public Law 109-430) 현재의 국가통합가뭄정보시스템 (NIDIS)이 설립되었다. 이후 국가가뭄회복력파트너십 (National Drought Resilience Partnership, NDRP)을 발족하여 2016년 장기가뭄 회복력을 위한 국가재해대응정책을 수립하였다 (Federal Action Plan for Long-Term Drought Resilience). 미국의 경우 1982년 콜로라도 주, 사우스다코타 주, 뉴욕 주를 시작으로 2020년 현재 48개 주에서 연방정부단위의 가뭄대응계획을 수립하였다. 본 연구에서는 미국에서 실행되고 있는 가뭄 적응 대책 및 비상대처계획을 조사, 분석하고, 향후 메가 가뭄 발생시 국가단위의 가뭄 재난위기관리 매뉴얼, 정부 및 지자체의 가뭄 대응 체계 및 대응 방안을 보완할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Changes in precipitation due to climate change is made to induce the local and intensive rainfall, it is increasing damage caused by inland inundation. Therefore, it requires a technique for predicting damage caused by flooding. In this study, in order to determine whether this flood inundated by any route when the levee was destroyed, Which can simulate the path of the flood inundation model was developed for the SIMOD (Simplified Inundation MODel). Multi Direction Method (MDM) for differential distributing the adjacent cells by using the slope and Flat-Water Assumption (FWA)-If more than one level higher in the cell adjacent to the cell level is the lowest altitude that increases the water level is equal to the adjacent cells- were applied For the evaluation of the model by setting the flooding scenarios were estimated hourly range from the target area. SIMOD model can significantly reduce simulation time because they use a simple input data of topography (DEM) and inflow flood. Since it is possible to predict results within minutes, if you can only identify inflow flood through the runoff model or levee collapse model. Therefore, it could be used to establish an evacuation plan due to flooding, such as EAP (Emergency Action Plan).

  • This study analyzed the characteristics of high PM2.5 episodes that meets the concentration criteria of Emergency Reduction Measures Plan (ERMP) in Busan during the 2015-2020, and compared with those in Seoul. As a first step, the CAPSS-2017 emission data was employed to analyze the emission differences between Busan and Seoul, and pointed out that Busan emission included the dominance of ship emissions (37.7%) among total PM2.5 city emissions, whereas fugitive PM2.5 emission was the highest in Seoul. These emission characteristics are indicating that the controlling action plan should be uniquely applied to cope with ERMP in each region. We selected extremely high PM2.5 episode days that meet the criteria of ERMP levels. In Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam region, 15, 16, and 8 days of extremely high PM2.5 cases were found, respectively, whereas Seoul showed approximately doubling of occurrences with 37 cases. However, the occurrences in summer season indicated big differences between two cities: the proportion of summer-season occurrence was 13-25% in Busan, whereas no single case have occurred in Seoul. This is suggesting the needs of comprehensive summer emission reduction plan with focusing on sulfur reduction to effectively cope with the ERMP levels in summer in the southeastern region, including Busan.

  • This study has been focus to certify the run-up heights, losses of human lives and property damages due to the 1983 Central East Sea tsunami. We have conducted the interview with indigenous inhabitant and field surveying at the Imwon port, East sea in Korea in order to inquire into the state of things occurred during that period. It is also investigated how much well they are aware of the emergency action plan including the evacuation system. Base on the reliable interviews, we selected and surveyed 10 places at the Imwon port, where the historical maximum overflowing occurred due to the 1983 Central East Sea tsunami. The measured run-up heights are approximately $3.3m{\sim}4.0m$ at the selected 10 places and it is found that the sea water ran over the banks in Imwon stream about 700m upstream from the Imwon port. From this study we can suggest supplementing the present emergency action plan and supply the state-of-the-art inundation map.

  • Background: The current study reports measurements of activity concentrations of radon (220Rn) and thoron (220Rn) in dwellings, followed by inhalation dose assessment of the public, and then by the development of regulation and the national radon action plan (NRAP) in Cameroon. Materials and Methods: Radon, thoron, and thoron progeny measurements were carried out from 2014 to 2017 using radon-thoron discriminative detectors (commercially RADUET) in 450 dwellings and thoron progeny monitors in 350 dwellings. From 2019 to 2020, radon track detectors (commercially RADTRAK) were deployed in 1,400 dwellings. It was found that activity concentrations of radon range in 1,850 houses from 10 to 2,620 Bq/㎥ with a geometric mean of 76 Bq/㎥. Results and Discussion: Activity concentrations of thoron range from 20 to 700 Bq/㎥ with a geometric mean of 107 Bq/㎥. Thoron equilibrium factor ranges from 0.01 to 0.6, with an arithmetic mean of 0.09 that is higher than the default value of 0.02 given by UNSCEAR. On average, 49%, 9%, and 2% of all surveyed houses have radon concentrations above 100, 200, and 300 Bq/㎥, respectively. The average contribution of thoron to the inhalation dose due to radon and thoron exposure is about 40%. Thus, thoron cannot be neglected in dose assessment to avoid biased results in radio-epidemiological studies. Only radon was considered in the drafted regulation and in the NRAP adopted in October 2020. Reference levels of 300 Bq/㎥ and 1,000 Bq/㎥ were recommended for dwellings and workplaces. Conclusion: Priority actions for the coming years include the following: radon risk mapping, promotion of a protection policy against radon in buildings, integration of the radon prevention and mitigation into the training of construction specialists, mitigation of dwellings and workplaces with high radon levels, increased public awareness of the health risks associated with radon, and development of programs on the scientific and technical aspects.

  • Recently, natural disasters happened to the Korea frequently. Disaster in the present society has been changed and increased it impacts and extent of danger as the society develops. So, Korean people feel uneasy about the unpredictable disaster. Therefore the capability of administration system, and cooperation and support between related organization become more necessary. This study aims to find out better ways of disaster management system which can protect people's lives and fortune from all sort of national disasters. To research policy reform, it is necessary to analyze disaster response organization(national disaster prevention countermeasures headquarters and so on), interorganizational relationship, law system etc. Especially, in this study, role appreciation of government was analyzed to get the rational policy reform measure. Suggestion : First, it is necessary Establishing a consolidated organization for disaster managing and united response organization is necessary such as Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) which controls an over all aspects of disaster management. And it is necessary to develop Integrated Administrative Control System based on comprehensive plan. When the accidents happen, it needs to be many equipments and various specialized personnel. So, to manage a large scale of disaster, it is necessary to have interorganizational network system which many specialized organization including volunteer group are integrated. Also, as soon as the natural disaster happen, many professionals and volunteers are distributed to the spots of disaster in the right man in the right place. Finally, All the citizens have to keep safety rules, and also to take a safe action in ordinary daily life.

  • TThe cooperation on disaster prevention between the two Koreas has been mostly focused on cooperation at the recovery stage, such as emergency relief supplies and equipment support. This study aims to articulate future practical development plans by analyzing disaster cooperation between North and South Korea in accordance with the changing paradigm of international disaster cooperation. Considering the specificity of inter-Korean cooperation, the Framework for Inter-Korean Disaster Prevention Cooperation was established centering on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The framework consists of understanding and sharing disaster risks, building back better, strengthening community resilience, and supporting regional disaster action plans for continuous action. Inter-Korean disaster prevention cooperation requires sharing information about North Korean disasters. It is necessary to accurately identify and support social vulnerability to North Korean disasters. Above all, it is supporting the development of disaster action plans from a humanitarian perspective needs. A medium-to-long term resilience reinforcement plan that North Korea can resolve on its own is also needed. Since North Korea is also deeply interested in international disaster cooperation, it should be based on the direction of the Sendai Framework. Considering the uniqueness of inter-Korean cooperation, a path for North Korea to actively participate in international disaster cooperation should be established.
