4-2. Master Plan for reducing storm and flood damage

Storm and flood damage reduction master plan

Establishment range

On the use of

• Comprehensive research local wind and flood damage risk → Various structural

and non-structural mitigation measures for establishing prevention and harm

reduction

• Spatial : Entire region of Incheon

• Destination Disaster : Typhoons, flooding, heavy rains, strong winds, wind

waves, tides, heavy snow etc.

• Period : 10 years (Renew every five years)

• If any of various planning or change, apply established disaster prevention

and reduction plan

25

4-3-1. Earthquake Prevention and Reinforcement

dams, floodgates

• Scale : 6.0∼7.0 : building(higher than 3 floors,

total ground area more than 1,000㎡), subway,

bridge, tunnel

• Public Buildings, Urban railway, water facilities, public sewage treatment facilities,

and Eastern Europe, razor and track facilities, organic facilities etc.

• High-rise building → Installation for refuge safety zone(30floors) : reinforced in

2012

• Small buildings retrofit manual issued → Voluntary retrofit induction

26

4-3-2. Earthquake Prevention and Reinforcement

Monitoring

Site preparation manual

Snow removal information through Cloud

28

5-2. 3 preparedness of early warning and response

Disaster forecasting and warning system

• A system that sends out the emergency by text message or broadcasting to people

when there is a sudden extreme weather event and when rapid evacuation is needed

such as steep sloped-land, landslide vulnerable area, low lands and etc.

29

5-3. 3 preparedness of early warning and response
