The recent earthquakes in the peninsula've called safe areas prone to earthquakes occurred the unprecedented human and material damage. It does not have the seismic design of buildings for less than three layers, with the exception of some experts and organizations, and it does not have to read about the seriousness and evacuation tips for earthquake damage is thought to have been weighted. As mentioned above, most people are unaware of the evacuation tips or saengjonbeop, emergency supplies, such as earthquakes compared to a situation without the various needs education. So we were prepared for an earthquake is now managing investigate the cause and correct entities for the earthquake is considered as the time to prepare and formulate a policy. In this study, we investigated the cause to frequent earthquakes with respect to the Korean Peninsula and to organize for our government and local governments, NGOs, the media and individuals on how to proceed.

Purpose: This study collects basic data on the awareness of evacuation methods and evacuation facilities in the event of a radiological disaster of residents living in the emergency planning zone. Method: The residents of emergency planning zone were sampled using a random sampling method. A 1:1 interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed using the minitab program. Result: First, the survey subjects showed a relatively low and negative awareness of the local government's work on radioactive disasters. Second, in terms of resident safety education, they had little experience in education, but they felt it was necessary and wanted education on evacuation methods, action tips, and the location of relief centers. Third, the location of the relief centers related to radioactive disasters was not well known, and there were many responses that they did not receive any guidance, and that they would be with their families when using the relief centers. Satisfaction levels were generally low with regard to the relief facilities. Fourth, the necessary priorities in preparation for radioactive disasters were education and training for radioactive disasters, facility supplementation, and supply of protective chemicals. Conclusion: The residents of emergency planning zone perceived the policies and tasks of the government or local governments relatively negatively in preparation for the occurrence of radioactive disasters, and their satisfaction was low. Regarding the matters pointed out as a priority, the government and local governments should publicize and educate the residents of accurate information and policies on radioactive disasters.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data to improve coping abilities of elementary school students in emergency situations. Method: The data were collected from 1633 3-6th grade elementary school students using a self-report questionnaire. Results: 1) The mean score for the coping ability of the students was low at .38(${\pm}.36$). 2) The mean scores for the 8 categories were, [Care for common symptoms], .54(${\pm}.48$), [Call for help & check], .47(${\pm}.43$), [Care for injury by heat cold & foreign body], .39(${\pm}.45$), [Care for tissue damage], .36(${\pm}.44$), [Offering help], .36(${\pm}.42$), [Rescue & escape], .31(${\pm}.51$), [Evacuation], .28(${\pm}.49$), and [Appropriate response for the situation], .27(${\pm}.43$). The mean scores for 2 areas were, 'Acting tips', .35(${\pm}.36$) and 'First aid', .42(${\pm}.40$). There were significant differences in coping ability according to students' gender (t=4.964, p<.001), and family type (t=-2.484, p=.013). 4) Among the categories, there were significant correlations between all 8 categories and significant correlation between 'Acting tips' and 'First aid' (r=.808, p<.001), 'Acting tips' and 'Coping ability' (r=.956, p<.001), and 'First aid' and 'Coping ability' (r=.946, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings indicate a need for programs to improve the coping ability of elementary school students in emergency situations.

The purpose of this study is to reduce the anxiety factors of fires by following evacuation tips in case of fire in an apartment household. This study analyzed the moderating effects of the control offices' competence in control on safety awareness and fire response. The study results were as follows. First, the residents and control staff's safety awareness had a positive effect on the fire response performance. This indicates that the higher the residents and control staff's safety awareness level, the higher the fire responsive performance. Second, the higher the control offices' control competence level, the better the apartment residents and control staff's safety awareness had a positive effect on the fire response performance. These results indicate that the higher the control office heads' leadership, the higher the apartment residents' housing satisfaction and that the more communicative the control office heads' attitude toward the residents, the better their attitude had a positive effect on the fire response performance. Lastly, the control offices' control competence was analyzed to have a moderating effects on the effect of the apartment residents and control staff's safety awareness level on the fire response performance. These results showed that the change in the model's R² value showed an increasing trend in stages as the value increased more in the stage 2 than the stage 1 and even more in the stage 3 with the interaction terms of the moderating variables added. For this reason, the control offices' control competence which was a moderating variable was analyzed to have a moderating effect on the effect of residents and control staff's safety awareness level on the fire response performance.
