Risk Communication using Social Media in Korea Risk Communication using Social Media in Korea
• Government is the main driving force in risk communication and disaster man-agement area using social media
• Current usage does not fully cultivate the web 2.0 features – One way communication : mainly providing risk and
disaster situational information to public – Mainly focused on warning and alert functions
• Using highly advanced information technology infrastructure
• Disseminate real time disaster situa-tional information using location-based GIS – Lessons learned from torrential rain accidents in
2011– Disseminate the risk areas information to public
based on the real time disaster situation– Send the real time disaster information to naviga-
tions in cars and mobiles device to not to approach the risk areas to public (Advancement of CBS, DMB and Apps)
– Focused on two way communications
