The Development Guidelines for Anti-Earthquake DISASTER Training

Purpose; The purpose of this study proposes training steps in preparation of multiple earthquakes disasters and how to plan training situation scenarios reflecting regional characteristics in response to frequent occurrence of earthquakes in Korea these days. There was a series of earthquakes with the subsequent aftershocks of mag-nitude 5.0 in Kyung-ju and Pohang in Korea in 2016 and2017, which resulted in a lot of damages. The earthquake disaster is what Korea has ever never experienced and we are defenseless for response training by the govern-ment institutions and public entities as well as the technologies for preparing disaster However, in the wake of the earthquake in 2016, the importance of training for earthquake has been appreciated and a host of multiple earthquake disaster drills has been conducted in the Safety Korea Training under the control of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security. However, due to lack of understanding on earthquake disasters and lack of experiences of earthquake disaster drills, the drills still remains unpractical. In particular, more jobs are required to establish scenarios explaining from preparation to training. This study presents the 10 steps of PDCA CYCLE for multiple earthquake disaster training. In preparing the drills, the study suggests training for the response situation and making improvements to update the manual for better next drills over time. Earthquake disaster is getting worse through the complicated and continuous situations over time. Considering these earthquake dis-aster characteristics, characteristics such as weather, time, and season are important variables in determining the response directions. In order for efficient drills reflecting local characteristics, a training situation scenario is needed to take the characteristics of the earthquake disaster, the current status of the region, the characteristics of the characteristics of the facilities into account so as to create a complex disaster situation in response to an earthquake. In this study, we propose a method to set weather, time, and seasonal characteristics and to esti-mate the damage situation reflecting the surrounding facilities and the affected area in order to create a situa-tion scenario that can cope with over time accordingly. The situation scenario is presented as an example of the Ulsan metropolitan city located on the tip of Southeast Korea. All the examples are based on the damage situa-tions and responding situations are provided in accordance with the Site Action Manual and the Earthquake Disaster Manuals kept by each organization. It is believed that the 10 steps for PDCA CYCLE training and the damaged situation scenario proposed in this study will be conducive to the trainers in charge of preparing for the complex earthquake disasters and simulation scenarios.
