Abstract

The properties of disaster such as impossible prediction, complexity and changeability make its effects on people and property devastating. A scenario is practical for this case because it provides a realistic simulation and enables actors to monitor weaknesses in the emergency response system. We investigated and analyzed the current state of disaster scenarios, the cases of disaster scenarios, and the usability of related materials and data.

In the Seoul Metropolitan Government(SMG), disaster scenarios are depicted in manuals and exercises. However these approach lacks reality, scientific method, and linkage.

In cases of advanced usage, disaster scenarios are developed using a systematic, data-based, goal evaluation oriented, and exercise adjustable method. This method contributes effectiveness to the emergency response system.

From usability perspective, disaster scenarios can comprise data of occurrences and vulnerability with effective response resources. The data has statistics, report, white paper and geospatial attributes.

We proposed elements of a disaster scenario in Seoul. Those include actors’ procedures, situation setting, regional hazard estimation, monitoring goal, and timeline matching. Our investigation has led us to the following conclusions.

i) SMG should make “the smart exercise and training system” based on disaster scenarios elements.

ii) SMG should develop advanced manuals with systematic and sensible visualization and diagramming.

iii) SMG should make first witness citizen’s manuals with brief contents and comprehensible pictures.

iv) SMG should develop disaster scenarios for prevention or restoration in the future.
