Why can't we be free from diverse crises threatening our lives in a high-tech future society? Disasters interrupt habitual and institutionalized patterns of behavior and bring about a kind of social shock to make people follow social and individual changes. An interesting fact revealed in the study finding is that the role of disaster management control tower was proper during the Great Flood ofthe Eulchuk Year(1925) and the unified disaster management system facilitated smooth cooperation with relevant authorities. Also, motivating disaster management organizations positively influenced organizational commitment. This implies that if we constantly ask to improve current institutions by introspecting and learning, based on historical records, we may be able to find insights for a safe society of the future.
