Abstract

AbstractIn order to foster rapid disaster response and public life protection, National Emergency Management Agency has been trying to spread ‘Emergency Rescue Standard System’ on a national scale since 2006. The agency has also intensified management of firefighter’s safety on disaster site by implementing danger predication training, specialized training and education and safety procedure check as a part of safety management officer duties. Nevertheless, there are limitations for effective fire fighting steps, such as damage spreading and life damage due to unawareness of illegal converted structure, structure transformation by high temperature and nearby hazardous material storage as well as extemporary situation handling endangered firefighter’s life. In order to eliminate these limitations there is a need for an effort and technology application to minimize human errors such as inaccurate situational awareness, wrong decision built on experience and judgment of field commander and firefighters. The purpose of this study is to propose a new disaster response model which is applied with geospatial information. we executed spatial contextual awareness map analysis using fire-fighting vulnerable zone model to propose the new disaster response model and also examined a case study for Dalseo-gu in Daegu Metropolitan City. Finally, we also suggested operational concept of new proposed model on a national scale.Keywords:Fire-fighting Geospatial Intelligence, Fire-fighting Vulnerability Map, Spatial Contextual Awareness, Geospatial Application Cases
