Developing a Disaster Management Assessment Model Using a Resilience Engineering Method

Abstract

A national safety management system in Korea focuses on responding capacity to cope with imminent accidents and risks. There is no assessment function for the organic operation states of the entire systems because it assesses the capacities of individuals, disaster management department, institution, and management network in four stages including prevention, preparation, response, and recovery. Therefore, it is necessary to develop systematic assessment indices that will allow for active pre-checks in departments in organizations, rather than the conventional simple inspection method. This study used a resilience engineering method to develop a disaster management assessment model, which consists of a total of 56 disaster management items in four capacities such as anticipation (13 items), monitoring (14 items), responding (15 items) and learning (14 items).
