ABSTRACT

Recently, the global flood damage has been increased due to climate change and extreme events. Korea has been suffering continuing damages from flood disasters, and the efforts are being made to minimize the flood damages by governmental organizations. This study analyzed various policies and systems for minimizing damages, along with their underlying disaster statistics and information, in order to derive policy implications as to the disaster statistics and information management. Efficient management of disasters should be built around the Ministry of Interior and Safety as the control tower in Korea, and institutional devices should be constructed for efficient sharing. Compared to overseas cases, flood disasters in Korea are relatively small in size and given less priorities, which leads to the limited usability of various policies. Since disaster information is managed by a number of agencies in Korea, a more intensive management would be needed by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security. Institutional enhancements are also needed to make these improvements at a national level.
