Objective: This study was designed to report on the progress of the fire at Jecheon sports complex and to assess the adequacy of Disaster Medical Assistant Team (DMAT)'s activities in response to the fire disaster. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review based on camera recordings and medical records that were recorded at the disaster site for assessment of activities. We cooperated with firefighters, police officers, local hospital medical staffs and public health personnel in Jecheon in order to classify patients in the disaster field and to understand the patients' progress. Results: At 15:53, the first request for emergency rescue came to the 119 general emergency call center, and a request for DMAT activation came at 16:28. DMAT arrived at the site at 17:04 and remained active until the following day at 00:43. The total number of casualties was 60, including 27 minimal (Green) patients, 29 expectant (Black) patients, three delayed (Yellow) patients, and one immediate (Red) patient. There were 32 patients who received on-site care by DMAT. Two patients were transferred from a local hospital to Wonju Severance Christian Hospital for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Conclusion: Twenty-nine victims were found in the sports complex building, and there were 31 mildly to moderately injured patients in this fire disaster. The main cause of death was thought to be smoke suffocation. Although DMAT was activated relatively quickly, it was not able to provide effective activity due to the late rescue and difficulty with fire suppression.

This paper describes the development of an INS (Inertial Navigation System) integrated positioning system, which can monitor and track the firefighter's position for assisting effective fire-fighting activity and rescue services. The INS consists of highly accurate three-axis gyro sensor and three-axis accelerometer. By integrating an INS to positioning system, it is also possible to obtain the information of firefighter's physical state (e.g. standing, collapse and crouch) of posture including velocity. Consequently, this research would obviously make a contribution to effective rescue activities and safety of firefighters. Besides, this paper presents results from field tests conducted at Tokyo University demonstrating its viability and utility. We also summarize the overall system requirements and architecture, and describe the hardware and software used in the prototype system in detail.

This study examines the effects of the public's perception of emergency medical service (EMS) on the public health system's brand equity and the moderating effect of governance on this relationship using Keller's customer-based brand equity model. It uses four EMS functions: rescue/first-aid and transfer activities; disaster prevention, preparation, and response activities; educational activities in urgent situations; and medical treatment in emergency rooms to examine the effects of them on brand meaning of the public health system. Our findings are important for understanding the public as customers of the public health system and devising and/ or adapting healthcare policies and marketing strategies to develop brand equity and increase customers' loyalty to the public health system.

많은 선박 사고에서 해상 조난자를 수색 및 구조하는데 매우 많은 시간이 소요되며, 수중에서 체온저하 등으로 적정 시간 내에 구출되지 못한 조난자의 경우 사망 위험이 매우 높은 실정이다. 이러한 위험을 줄이기 위한 기존 기술로는 발광막대, SOS 부이, SART, EPIRB 등이 있으나, 급박한 상황에서 개인이 활용하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 이에 따라, 이러한 문제를 해결하고 효율적인 수색 및 구조 활동을 위한 새로운 방법을 연구하게 되었다.

Hazardous work zones (i.e., hot, warm, and cold) are typically established by emergency response teams during hazardous materials (HAZMAT) calls but less consistently for fire responses to segment personnel and response activities in the immediate geographic area around the fire. Despite national guidelines, studies have documented the inconsistent use of respiratory protective equipment by firefighters at the fire scene. In this case-series report, we describe warm zone gas levels using multigas detectors across five independent fire incident responses all occurring in a large South Florida fire department. Multigas detector data collected at each fire response indicate the presence of sustained levels of volatile organic compounds in the "warm zone" of each fire event. These cases suggest that firefighters should not only implement strategies for multigas detector use within the warm zone but also include respiratory protection to provide adequate safety from toxic exposures in the warm zone.

Herein, we propose a LoRaWAN-based small draft system that can measure the ocean current flow (speed, direction, and distance) in real time at the request of the Coast Guard to develop a device that can promptly find survivors at sea. This system has been implemented and verified in the early stages of rescue after maritime vessel accidents, which are frequent. GPS signals often transmit considerable errors, so correction algorithms using the improved triangulation method algorithm are required to accurately indicate the direction of currents in real time. This paper is structured in the following manner. The introduction section elucidates rescue activities in the case of a maritime accident. Chapter 2 explains the characteristics and main parameters of the GPS surveying technique and LoRaWAN communication, which are related studies. It explains and expands on the critical distance error correction algorithm for GPS signals and its improvement. Chapter 3 discusses the design and analysis of small draft buoys. Chapter 4 presents the testing and validation of the implemented system in both onshore and offshore environments. Finally, Section 5 concludes the study with the expected impact and effects in the future.

우리나라 광역자치단체는 1990년대 이후에 복합재난발생, 소방업무의 중요성 등으로 자연재난관리 및 인적재난관리 업무를 담당하는 조직을 소방본부로의 완전통합 및 부분통합시키고 있는 현실이다. 따라서 재난관리업무를 담당하는 소방직과 일반직공무원간의 관계는 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 재난관리조직의 관리역량, 인명활동, 재난, 업무효율 등에 대한 설문지를 구성하여 서울특별시 재난관리조직에서 근무하는 공무원을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 소방직과 일반직공무원간의 인식비교분석을 하였다. 인식비교분석결과 관리역량의 시설, 재난의 인적재난, 업무효율의 업무협조성, 업무연계성 등이 유의미한 차이가 발생하였다. 이러한 인식비교분석을 통하여 서울특별시 재난관리조직의 개선방향에 대해서 제시하고자 하였다.

After a disaster happens in urban areas, many people need support for a quick evacuation. This work aims to develop a method for the calculation of the most feasible evacuation route inside buildings. In the methodology we simplify the geometry of the structural and non structural elements from the BIM (Building Information Modeling) to store them in a spatial database which follows standards to support vector data. Then, we apply the multicriteria analysis with the allocation of prioritization values and weight factors validated through the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), in order to obtain the Importance Index S(n) of the elements. The criteria consider security conditions and distribution of the building's facilities. The S(n) is included as additional heuristic data for the calculation of the evacuation route through an algorithm developed as a variant of the $A^*$ pathfinding, The experimental results in the simulation of evacuation scenarios for vulnerable people in healthy physical conditions and for the elderly group, shown that the conditions about the wide of routes, restricted areas, vulnerable elements, floor roughness and location of facilities in the building applied in the multicriteria analysis has a high influence on the processing of the developed variant of $A^*$ algorithm. The criteria modify the evacuation route, because they considers as the most feasible route, the safest instead of the shortest, for the simulation of evacuation scenarios for people in healthy physical conditions. Likewise, they consider the route with the location of facilities for the movement of the elderly like the most feasible in the simulation of evacuation route for the transit of the elderly group. These results are important for the assessment of the decision makers to select between the shortest or safest route like the feasible for search and rescue activities.

2017년 말에 발생한 제천 복합건물 화재 사고를 분석한 결과, 고립된 사람들의 위치정보 확인이 지연되어 사상자가 많이 발생하였다. 이와 같은 사고를 방지하기 위해, 재난 현장에 존재하는 휴대 전화기의 무선 통신 정보를 검출하여, 요구조자들의 위치를 추정하는 연구가 진행중이다. 주요 개념은 화재 현장에서 이동 통신 단말의 RF 신호를 탐지하고, 이를 기반으로 LOS/NLOS 상에서 휴대전화기의 위치를 정밀하게 측위하는 것이다. 그러나 화재 현장은 연기로 인해 사야 확보가 어렵고, 건물 내 통로가 화점에 의해 유실되는 등의 어려움이 존재한다. 따라서 요구조자들의 위치를 추정하는 것과 별개로, 화재 현장 내에서 진입하는 방향을 결정하는 연구 역시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 휴대 전화기의 무선 통신 정보를 이용하여 효과적인 구조 활동을 제공하기 위한 진입 방향을 결정하는 방안을 제시한다.
