ABSTRACT

This paper selected the cities, provinces and boroughs, which are the basic units of local governments in accordance with the Local Government Act, for investigating the disaster management systems of local governments in Korea. This methodology was based on the analysis of the disaster management system of local governments in Korea on the aspects of laws, organizations, human resources and finance. In accordance with the analysis results, the laws related to disasters have to be unified around the Framework Act on the Management of Disasters and Safety. Second, the interconnection between the Framework Act of the Management of Disasters and Safety and other laws shall be strengthened. Third, it is necessary to establish the integrated basic ordinances on local disaster management. On the organizational aspects, the disaster task force team (Disaster and Safety Management Division) shall strengthen its functions as the actual control tower. Next, the disaster control center shall strengthen the disaster information and the sharing function shall be implemented. For the human resources, the labor shall be supplemented for disaster control centers, field management and safety check. Second, the education and training program shall be intensified to cultivate professional workers for disaster management. For the financial aspects, the budget preparation shall focus on the prevention of disasters. Subsequently, a certain amount from the disaster recovery budget shall be established as the operating cost. Finally, it is required to expand the insurance programs on damage by wind and flood.
