폭염으로 인한 한반도 자연재해 현황

The present state of natural disaster caused by extreme heat in the Korea Peninsula

Recently, occurrence frequency of natural disasters decrease but scale of damage increase remarkably by the Climate change due to global warming. Especially, extreme heat become more critical weather problem in the Korean Peninsula. But, we don't have exact threshold about extreme heat. Extreme heat does not classify into natural disaster. Therefore, we have compared death count of the natural disaster with the one of extreme heat at Seoul, Korea. As a result, the number of death by extreme heat don't smaller than one by the natural disasters and we knew extreme heat have also to consider as natural disaster.
