The purpose of this paper is to suggest some implications and measures to overcome the new disastrous events, including natural, man-made, and social disasters, in the future. This article reviewed some theoretical discussions such as definitions and characteristics of disaster, functions and strategies of disaster management, including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery, analyzing the following four cases, such as typhoon Rusa in 2002, Hebei Spirit Oil Spill in 2007, Foot-and-Mouth Disease during 2010-2011, and Heat Wave and Power Crisis in 2013. This paper suggested five implications and measures to cope with the new disastrous events; securing transparency and integrity in safety management, international cooperative efforts, tight policy networks, enhanced professional leadership, increased social capital in disaster management.
