Abstract

Due to the reasons like recent climate change, disasters are more frequently occurring and enlarged. Such enlarged disasters increase the scale of casualties and facility damage, and the damages to environment facilities like water treatment plant or wastewater treatment plant are also increasing. In order to draw the emergency actions & coping measures of each disaster scenario, this study put the corrective measures according to disaster & process into DB by researching/analyzing the disaster cases and existing manuals focusing on sewage treatment facilities. After that, this study drew the emergency actions & coping measures composed of three steps such as initial response, emergency response, and settlement/restoration by choosing the main disaster types(five) and disaster scenarios through the DB standardization of corrective measures according to disaster & process. The emergency actions & coping measures for each disaster of sewage treatment facilities developed in this study could contribute to the enhancement of field officers’ ability to respond to disasters through the application of the methodology to other facilities in the future.
