ABSTRACT

This study intends to draw lessons and implications for the improvement of Korea’s disaster management system including the Ministry of Public Safety and Security that was founded shortly after the Sewol disaster by examining the post-Katrina disaster and safety management system in the U.S. Failure to respond to a disaster requires us to make efforts to clarify its subject and causes, let alone political responsibilities and issues. In addition to the scholarly definition and classification of disasters, we need to elicit a stepwise strategy for disaster management on the basis of the examination of ‘risk levels’ and ‘risk intensity’ experienced by the society. Although somewhat normative, this study suggests the policy implications which highlight the need of a serious review of the recent reform process of the national disaster management system in Korea and propose developmental directions of the system since there has been a criticism on failure in disaster response even after the foundation of the Ministry of Public Safety and Security.
