Development of Disaster Safety Technologies Through Analysis of Safety Service Trends in Disaster Prevention

Abstract

The objectives of this study are to identify the possibility of new, future, and complex disasters resulting from environmental changes and corresponding requirements through the analysis of technology trends and safety services for disaster prevention, and to provide the basic data for the development of safety service technologies for people's safety and security. The R&D trends related to disaster safety are technology developments related to 1) search for future and new disasters, 2) integrated management of disasters and safety technology standards, 3) national continuity of operation management for disaster prevention, 4) disaster response, relief, and recovery, and 5) safety and security of vulnerable population. A review of various international cases reveals that appropriate technology development and policy support are needed, and that the role of disaster safety control tower and disaster management institutions is important. Also, integrated safety management technologies for new and future disasters, and development of technologies for large-scale disasters are needed, as is development of technologies for protecting people, including those vulnerable to paralysis of national infrastructure facilities.
