Korean government announce policy for flood prevention tunnels.

Improved weather and flood prediction… Expansion of disaster prevention base such as Dobit water tunnel

Promote measures to improve the disaster management system for climate change… Support for installation of flood prevention facilities, etc.

In order to prevent heavy rain damage, the government will announce five strategies, including improving weather and flooding forecasts, and promoting measures to improve the disaster management system against climate change.

The Ministry of Public Administration and Security announced that it will promote this measure in order to respond to the expansion of disasters and diversifying aspects due to climate change such as unprecedented local and intensive extreme weather phenomena.

In order to improve the prediction accuracy of weather and floods, the system is advanced and information on disaster risk areas will be linked to strengthen inspection and management.

In consideration of climate change, the foundation for disaster prevention, such as the Dobit Water Tunnel, will be expanded and the design criteria for each disaster prevention performance and facility water are increased and linked to the extreme climate.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security organized and operated the promotion of the disaster management system improvement system with 12 institutions including the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Forest Service, and the Korea Meteorological Agency.

In addition, the promotion team has been discussing the disaster management system with experts, and discussing the measures that can be operated in the field.

We will expand the weather viewing equipment for monitoring dangerous weather conditions and develop numerical forecasting technologies to improve local heavy rain forecast accuracy.

It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to build a flood forecast system that encompasses the main streams and tributaries, and builds and supplements river flooding maps and urban flooding and demands to provide comprehensive and detailed flood information.

In order to quickly evacuate the residents near the small river, the water level inspection system will be built this year, and the national and local rivers are linked to the flood forecast of national and local rivers.

In addition, the landslide prediction information is preemptively provided and a real -time landslide risk map is established where risk rating changes according to heavy rain.

It expands management areas such as steep slopes and vulnerable areas of landslide (artificial development) to strengthen inspection and management, and link and integrate pardon information operated by each institution.

◆ Expansion of disaster prevention base

It will expand the prevention base for each facility such as Dobit Water Tunnel, Riverside Reservoir, and Small Dams, and increase the maintenance rate of national rivers.

It improves the prevention performance goal by improving the premium rate by region and the subdivision of the target area, and increases the flood defense effect by linking with the design standards such as river and sewage.

In particular, the company installs facilities using the latest technologies such as the ICT -based ICT -based flooding vulnerable roads to prevent disasters in the dangerous area and prevent damage.

◆ Prevention of flooding of disaster vulnerable housing and underground space

Investigating the status of housing (such as a ring, etc.) and underground spaces that are vulnerable to disasters such as flooding, and improving related systems such as housing upgrade and installation of flooding prevention facilities.

First, the residents, such as the bottom of the ring and the side room, will be able to move in in public and private rental housing, and if the migration is difficult, it will support the installation of flooding facilities.

Disaster -vulnerable housing is purchased and used as a public rental housing, and the underground and ring spaces can be used as a community facility.

In addition, it will expand the target application of water standards, specify the installation method of installation facilities for each facility, and expand the target facilities, and support the installation of flood prevention facilities for existing apartments.

◆ Establishment of a rapid response system

We will establish a rapid disaster response system through strengthening disaster information sharing, evacuation and emergency rescue system maintenance, guidelines and behavioral tips.

In this regard, it will be promptly and accurately informed by establishing a disaster safety data sharing platform, expanding road control status through navigation, and expanding the authority to send emergency disaster texts.

The manual will subdivide and specify the measures related to evacuation of the front line and the evacuation of residents, and strengthen the response of the disaster site by digitizing and mobile.

The national behavior is divided into targets such as general people, workplaces, and apartments, and establishes a management system by establishing procedures such as preparation, consultation, and approval.

By adding functions such as emergency classification to the emergency reporting system, the reception system is revised and the disaster site standard operation procedure is revised so that non -emergency firefighting personnel can be dispatched to prioritize emergency rescue requests.

◆ Strengthening support for damage recovery

The government supports government support for disaster vulnerable areas and economic vulnerable groups, and strengthens support for damage recovery by improving the system of disaster insurance.

First of all, the company will institutionalize the realization of housing welfare equipment, which was first piloted last year by raising the recovery costs of damage housing and supporting them according to the area.

In addition, the company plans to improve compensation by improving insurance products, such as expanding items for disaster insurance, and enhance the subscription rate by strengthening public relations.

Lee Sang -min, Minister of Public Administration and Security, said, “In order to minimize natural disasters due to climate change, we will use digital technology to strengthen pre -prediction and prevention ability, and establish a disaster management system that works in real sites by strengthening information sharing.” It was revealed.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security decided to continue to check the implementation status of the revision of laws and budgets as a task of comprehensive measures to reorganize the national safety system, which was prepared as a result of the Itaewon disaster.
