Major infrastructures such as levee, dam,
bridge, road, etc. have a significant meaning in that they are the means to
support ordinary social and industrial activities and also protect human and
physical assets at the occurrence of disaster. Especially, integrated risk
management of SOC facilities provides the policy maker in charge of SOC
facility safety and related disaster prevention with a reasonable means of
decision making and ultimately contributes to improving the safety of the
applicable SOC facility. Furthermore, a variety of issues raised in the Sewol
ferry disaster that occurred recently in Korea, such as, a proper response
method and the relevant Golden time decision making at the occurrence of
disaster, rapid grasping and reporting the situation on disaster sites,
management and mobilization of resources for rescue and recover, loss of
integrated control tower function, etc., might occur as well in facility
disaster management. As the method of solving such issues adequately, this
study suggests a strategy of new disaster response and management system. The
analyses of Hazus-MH (FEMA) and DIMSuS (Purdue University) were comprehensively
conducted, and based on the results required functions of new disaster response
system of major infrastructure and its development directions were suggested.
