2015년은 국제사회 거버넌스 및 정책 패러다임에 있어 전환점(tipping point)을 맞는다. 2000년 국제사회가 인류의 빈곤 퇴치라는 삶에 가장 절대적인 개발목표로 2015년까지 달성해야 할 빈곤, 의료, 교육 등 사회 환경 현안에서 해결해야 할 단순명료한 목표를 제시하였다. 그리고 2015년 9월 UN 지속가능 세계정상 회의(World Summit on Sustainable Development, WSSD)에서는 지속가능개발목표(Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs)를 채택하여 2030년까지 전 세계가 경제성장, 기후 변화 등 경제적, 사회적, 환경적 측면을 통합적으로 고려하여 지속가능한 인간정주환경을 조성하자는데 합의를 마쳤다. 17개의 지속가능개발목표와 부속적으로 169개의 타겟이 설정되었으며, SDGs 안에서는 MDGs의 기조를 유지하면서, 인간의 권리 구현과 성평등, 여성과 어린이의 권리 신장 등을 포함하고 있으며, 기후변화와 예측이 불확실한 다양한 자연재난, 특히 물과 물 관련 재해가 빈곤 경감, 기후변화 대응, 인간정주의 모든 삶의 영역에 연계요소로 녹아 있다. 기후변화 적응과 물 안보, 특히 위기관리의 맥락이 내재되어 있는 2030년을 목표로 하는 국제사회의 Post-2015 개발의제에서 물 분야는 무엇보다 중요한 관심 분야로 부각이 되어 있다. 17개의 지속가능개발목표에서 SDG6을 "모두를 위한 물과 위생의 지속가능한 관리와 이용(Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all)"으로 하고 수자원관리 및 물과 위생 분야의 중요성을 전세계가 공감하고 함께 해결해 나가야 함을 강조하였다. 그러나 실질적으로는 물을 직접적으로 언급한 6번째 목표뿐만 아니라, 빈곤의 근절(SDG1), 기아근절과 지속가능한 농업의 증진(SDG2)을 비롯한 다양한 목표들에서 물 분야가 직접?간접적으로 연계 되어 있으며, 특히 기후변화의 영향으로 더욱 심각해진 물관련 재해로부터 리질리언스 확보 등, 지속가능개발목표의 전반적인 기조에서 물안보 확보를 읽을 수 있다. 물 분야에서 지속가능개발목표의 이행을 위한 노력은 국제사회의 물 문제 해결에 공동으로 대응하기 위한 글로벌 동반 성장 지원체계를 구축하기 위한 초석이 될 것이다.

Maritime safety management needs active public participations because the sea is too wide for a government to respond to all unexpected accidents with limited resources. Marine rescue volunteer organizations of US, UK, Japan and Korea were compared one another on the base of disaster management governance theory, and recommendations for the development of marine rescue volunteer organization of Korea were proposed. The advanced organizations commonly have tradition of marine rescue voluntaryism in the advanced maritime countries. They have nation-wide networks and self-governing structures. Their main activities include public maritime safety education and fundraising programs as well as marine rescue operations. They have cooperative relationships with government agencies in charge of national maritime safety management, which are usually guaranteed by legislations or institutional systems. Donations from the public are major source of their finances. Members mainly consist of civil volunteers, and get basic compensations for their expenses. For the advancement of marine rescue volunteer organization of Korea, efforts are needed to strengthen the membership of civil rescue fleet, to activate public education and fundraising programs, and to amend the related law for institutional support.

Hazard are defined here as threat to life, well-being, material goods and environmental from the extremes of natural processes or technology. The challenges of natural and technology in increasing the exposure of people and property to risk pose a dilemma for any government seeking the fullest protection for its people and their property. As society progresses and as technology improves and becomes ever more intricate and far reaching, the human species is confronted with increasingly diverse and numerous catastrophic events. Not so infrequently, unfortunately, the impact of either a man-made or natural disaster is compounded by the fact that policy makers have neither prepared themselves or the public to respond appropriately to a disaster once the tragedy has struck. Many concerns have been raised for importance of emergency management after 1990's numerous urban disasters in Korea. Emergency management is the discipline and profession of applying science, technology, planning, and management to deal with extreme events that can injure or kill large numbers of people, cause extensive damage to property, and disrupt community life. When the primary function of private security is to protect lives and property of clients, emergency management should be included in the security service and many countermeasures should be carried out for that purpose. The purpose of this study is to establish ways and means needed to improve the private security emergency management system in Korea. This study is spilt into four chapters. Chapter I is the introduction part. Chapter II introduces the reader to a private security and emergency management theory, and Chapter III deals with the establishment of an effective emergency management system in Korea private security, Chapter IV is a conclusion. Policy makers and private security industry employers in Korea has not concerned with the importance of training and education by lack of recognition and has been passive about qualified guards. And the authorities supervising and the administrating the guards has not recognized the importance of private security and has neglected the training of the guards. In theses contexts, private security should develop and maintain a educational program of emergency management to meet their responsibilities to provide the protection and safety of the clients. Today's modern corporate security director, is, first of all, a competent, well-rounded business executive and, second, a 'service expert'. And, emergency management personnel in private security industry need continuous training.
