Heat watch warning systems are operating in Korea and several other countries (China, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany, Australia, and Japan). The heat wave indices used in this system are the heat index, perceived temperature, the wet bulb globe temperature, and the daily maximum temperature. To improve the heat wave advisory and warning system, some suggestions have been made. The meteorological-health index (i.e., indirect index), has especially been proposed in previous studies. This information should be provided not only to vulnerable groups (seniors, infants, and children), but also to outdoor workers who may be particularly exposed to heat waves. In addition, to have sufficient preemptive response times, the need for an extension of the heat watch warning period was suggested. Finally, the subdivision of administrative units and risk stages was proposed.

The extreme heat watch warning system(EHWWS) that Korea Meterological Administration carried out a preliminary from July 1, 2007, considered both daily maximum temperature and daily maximum heat index simultaneously. It was requested revision of the standard level of EHWWS to solve the difficulty of forecasting occurred when we were considering two parameters simultaneously and we did not considering heat index according to areas. For this, we established three type standard, such as type 1 that considered both daily maximum temperature and daily maximum heat index, Under the extreme heat day that daily minimum temperature was more than $25^{\circ}C$, type 2 that considered daily maximum temperature and type 3 that considered only daily maximum heat index and then analyzed whether these 3 types satisfies the excess mortality of the extreme heat warning or not. As a results, type 1 and 2 were more explain away excess mortality each warning step than type 3. type 2 could also apply case of not to consider heat index according to areas and had a merit for extreme heat forecasting easily because the standard was simple. Therefore we think type 2 is more suitable and reasonable standard for Korea extreme heat watch warning system(KEHWWS) than type 1. In addition, we need to develop model that exactly predicts the excess mortality will be take place during the extreme heat warning and construct KEHWWS.

본 연구의 목적은 공공부문에서 활용되는 기상청의 여름철 폭염특보 정보의 가치를 평가하는 것이다. 폭염특보는 각 지방자치단체에서 매년 발생하는 고온 피해를 저감하기 위한 대비계획의 행동 수준을 결정하는 주요 투입변수로 활용되고 있다. 비 시장재인 폭염특보 정보의 가치를 평가하기 위해 비용-손실을 고려한 의사결정모델을 수립하였다. 의사결정모델 변수인 비용과 손실은 각각 서울과 부산에서 2016년 사용한 폭염 대책 예산과 건강보험심사평가원이 제공하는 65세 이상 고령자의 건강보험 청구금액으로 설정하였다. 분석 결과 2016년 기상청 폭염특보는 서울과 부산에 각각 41.3억 원과 10.9억 원의 가치를 제공한 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 기상청이 폭염특보의 False Alarm (FA) 오류를 1회 줄이면 서울과 부산에서 각각 76.6백만 원, 16.8백만 원의 가치가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 결과는 공공부문에서 활용되는 폭염특보의 가치를 정량적으로 추정한데 의의가 있다.

Extremely hot weathers may cause major weather-related deaths in the summertime. Influences of heat waves on daily mortalities in 6 major cities of South Korea were investigated. Daily deaths at Seoul were exponentially increased with the daily maximum temperature. However, there were regional differences of the temperature dependence on the mortality because of an acclimation effect of inhabitants. The threshold temperature (with respect to daily maximum temperature) at Seoul was found to be about $31^{\circ}C$ provided that it is determined by a two-phase regression model. The meteorological causes of recordable hot summer in late July of 1994 and their impacts on human health were also investigated. Strong surface heating caused by strong insolation under conditions with clear sky and dry surface due to prolonged drought was likely to be closely associated with the extreme hot weather in 1994 in South Korea.
