Background: Despite its growing significance, studies on the burden of disease associated with natural disasters from the perspective of public health were few. This study aimed at estimating the national burden of disease associated with typhoons and torrential rains in Korea. Methods: During the period of 2002-2012, 11 typhoons and five torrential rains were selected. Mortality and morbidities were defined as accentual death, injury and injury-related infection, and mental health. Their incidences were estimated from National Health Insurance Service. Case-crossover design was used to define the disaster-related excess mortality and morbidity. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were directly assessed from excess mortality and morbidity. Results: The burden of disease from typhoons increased with the intensity, with 107.7, 30.6, and 36.6 DALYs per 100,000 per event for strong, moderate, and weak typhoons, respectively. Burden of disease from torrential rains were 56.9, 52.8, and 26.4 DALYs per 100,000 per event for strong, moderate, and weak episodes, respectively. Mental disorders contributed more years lived with disability (YLDs) than did injuries in most cases, but the injury-induced YLDs associated with strong typhoon and torrential rain were higher than those of lower-intensity. The elderly was the most vulnerable to most types of disaster and storm intensities, and males younger than 65 years were more vulnerable to a strong torrential rain event. Conclusion: The intensity of torrential rain or typhoon was the strongest determinant of the burden of disease from natural disasters in Korea. Population vulnerable may vary depending on the nature and strength of the disasters.

Wrenching climatic changes due to ecocide and global wanning are producing a natural disaster. Coastal zones have been damaged by typhoons and accompanying storm surges. Severe waves, and destruction of the environment are adding to the severity of coastal disasters. There has been an increased interest in these coastal zone problems, and associated social confusion, after the loss of life and terrible property damage caused by typhoon Maemi. Especially if storm surges coincide with high ticks, the loss of life and property damage due to high waters are even worse. Therefore, it is desirable to accurately forecast not only the timing of storm surges but also the amount water level increase. Such forecasts are very important from the view point of coastal defense. In this study, using a numerical model, storm surge was simulated to examine its fluctuation characteristics for the coastal area behind Masan Bay, Korea. In the numerical model, a moving boundary condition was incorporated to explain wave run-up. Numerically predicted inundation regimes and depths were compared with measurements from a field survey. Comparisons of the numerical results and measured data show a very good correlation. The numerical model adapted in this study is expected to be a useful tool for analysis of storm surges, and for predicting inundation regimes due to coastal flooding by severe water waves.

이 논문은 우리 나라의 해상 사고가 매년 600~700건씩 발생되어 많은 인명과 재산피해가 나타나고 있다. 그러므로 해난 재해시 선박 통신의 역할은 많은 인명과 재산피해를 가져오는 원인을 제거하는 것이라 생각하고 국가적인 차원에서 연구하였다.

Regional torrential rains in summer this year due to abnormal climate changes compared to last year, have been frequent. Since Typhoon Rusa and Typhoon Maemi resulted in major damage to railroad facilities in 2002 and 2003 consecutively, problems with abnormal climate changes became a global problem including railroad and floods and droughts around the globe, heavy snow and winter warming have been repeated until now. Serious problem of radiation leakage in Fukushima nuclear power plant by the Tsunami due to 9.0-scale earthquake, this year in March, in northeastern Japan happened, and has given an impact on the life of Japanese citizens and industries and has also influenced on Korean. This shows how important to secure and to protect major national facilities including railroad structures to natural disasters such as earthquake. Therefore, we will briefly discuss about technologies for securing and protecting railroad structures to earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters.

Heavy Rainfall event accompanying with Mesoscale Convective Systems(MCSs) inducing flash flooding and Muan and Kunsan Airport closing over Jeollabuk-do area was investigated this study. Comparing to previous study(I), this heavy rainfall event was characterized by much abundant moisture from Typhoon, strong conditional convective instability, and cluster type MCSs. It almost impossible to make accurate forecasting of precipitation amounts and life cycle of MCSs unless proper analysis.

태풍, 지진, 홍수, 폭우, 가뭄, 폭염, 풍랑, 쓰나미 등과 같은 자연재해는 발생지점과 규모를 예측하기 어려울 뿐만 아니라 인간생활에 피해를 주고 있다. 하지만, 재해통계를 기반으로 과거피해사례와 피해액을 분석하여 예상피해액을 산출할 수 있다면, 산출한 결과를 바탕으로 즉시 초동조치에 임할 수 있고, 피해를 최소한으로 저감할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 우리나라 남해연안지역을 대상으로 풍랑피해액예측함수를 제안한다. 본 예측함수는 재해연보('91년~'14년)에 기록된 풍랑 및 태풍의 재해통계, 남해연안지역의 특성을 고려한 인자, 해안 기상조건을 설명변수로 개발하였다.

자연재해(Natural Catastrophe)는 태풍, 홍수, 호우, 폭풍, 해일, 폭설, 가뭄, 지진 등과 같이 자연현상으로 인하여 발생하는 피해를 말한다. 자연재해는 한번 발생하면 엄청난 피해를 가져오므로 거대위험으로 분류된다. 현재 우리나라에서는 일반화재보험에서 풍수재위험과 지진위험을 담보하는 약관과 요율이 적용되고 있으나 이러한 풍수재담보와 지진담보에 대한 약관 및 요율은 외국에서 가져온 것(구득요율)이므로 우리나라 현실을 전혀 반영하지 못한 것이다. 이러한 연유로 보험계약자의 권익을 보호하기 위해 현재까지 우리나라 손해보험에서 사용하지 않은 통계적 방법을 이용하여 태풍과 풍수재에 대한 손해액 분포를 결정하고 그에 따른 적정보험료를 산출하였다.

The scientific technology which develops day by day is realizing thedream of the human being. As thehumanuse the artificial intelligence computer and the robot. it is to become be convenient daily life and to live long healthy. and will enjoy the space trip as like as the overseas trip in 20years. However, the life of the human being shall be extended. become the older society and the population shall increase. stronger earth-quake and the typhoon shall occur more frequently due to global warming. I think that it will be anational concern that we perceive the age-quake approaches in the close of hand which is more terrible than the earth-quake, and prepare on it.

Purpose: This study was performed to identify the extent of flood damage, the quality of life(QOL) and their relationships to flood victims. Method: The subjects of this study were 248(men 100, women 148) who live around seven areas in K province impacted by Typhoon Rusa. Data was collected between February 25 and March 21, 2003 by structured questionnaires. The instruments were composed of two parts. The extent of flood damage were the impacts of daily living by revised from Ginexi et aI.(2000). QOL was used to WHOQOL BREF Korean Version by Min et al.(2002). The SPSS program was used for its descriptive, reliability, and correlation analysis. Result: The means of the extent of flood damage were: daily living 1.88, economy 4.60, and health 3.75. The mean of total QOL was 2.95: social domain 3.29, overall satisfaction 3.09, physical domain 3.06, psychological domain 2.95, and environmental domain 2.68. The negative correlations were between the Impact of daily living and Total QOL(r=-.143, p<.05), Physical QOL(r=-.220, p<.01) and Overall satisfaction (r=-141, p<.05). Conclusion: This study has learned that the impact of the flood had negative effects on the flood victims quality of life, and the difficulties they faced in their daily lives. Further research will be needed to explore influencing factors on QOL in disaster victims.
