A Study on the Activation of Korean Disaster Safety Network (K-SafeNet)

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a plan to respond well to disasters by using the Korean disaster safety communication network. The only well-established Korean disaster safety communication network in the world will be used to minimize damage to people's lives and property by exerting synergy between agencies dispatched to the disaster site by allowing various related agencies to respond to disasters in a linked manner. To ensure this, research should be conducted to make the best use of the Korean disaster safety communication network. Method: In order to suggest a way to make good use of the disaster safety communication network, research methods such as literature research, on-site inspection, and opinion collection were applied. The literature survey studied the actual state of domestic and foreign construction related to the disaster safety communication network, and the research method was applied so that the current state of use of the disaster safety deep-seated network could be confirmed through on-site surveys and opinion collection, and problems could be analyzed to suggest alternative measures. This is a research conducted in the direction of strengthening the field utilization of the disaster safety communication network. Results: As a result of the previous study, it was identified that the Korean disaster safety communication network has a well-established infrastructure and is partially utilized by disaster officials, but some of them are not properly utilized due to a lack of understanding of wireless communication between various organizations through group communication. To overcome this, communication procedures for group wireless communication should be established, disaster management should be performed using the disaster safety communication network, and disaster safety communication network training scenarios should be developed for each type of disaster so that they can be actively implemented. Conclusion: Once established, the disaster safety communication network is not complete in itself. In order for a well-established disaster safety communication network to function properly, it is necessary to develop a group wireless communication procedure for the disaster safety communication network and continue communication training in accordance with the developed communication procedure. To ensure this, continuous communication training should be conducted by actively utilizing the disaster safety communication network communication training scenario developed through this study. Since these efforts are not made in a moment, disaster management activities of disaster management officers should be established as a culture. Continuous and in-depth research should be continuously conducted to this end.
