ABSTRACT

Although disasters get bigger and more complex, the post-disaster management systems have focused on physical compensation and ignored psychological impacts of the victims, which induces pathological burden and increased social costs. Considering that an integrated approach with consistent support can promote social adaptation of disaster victims, various disaster relief activities should be unified and systematized. This study analyzes the current situation of psychological support systems for disaster victims using the domestic and foreign cases, and suggests remedies for the psychological disaster relief systems in the context of Korea. In order to establish a system for psychological disaster relief in Korea, it is required to strengthen the expertise and professionalism of psychological support staff and experts. In addition, a comprehensive psychological support network should be built in cooperation with civic groups, enterprise, schools and government agencies.
