A Study on the Establishment of an Integrated Mobile Disaster Site Situation Management System

Modern disasters are increasingly complex and multi-faceted, making prediction and response difficult, and underscoring the importance of initial response. To address these challenges, it is necessary to shift from the traditional centralized disaster management paradigm to a field-centric smart disaster management system. In this study, we establish the concept of a mobile integrated disaster site situation management system and develop an on-site support system that connects command centers and field units in real time. By integrating mobility technologies such as drones, robots, and IoT sensors with a GIS-based disaster situation management information map, the system rapidly collects and analyzes disaster site data and enhances situational aware-ness and decision-making support by linking the field and command centers via PS-LTE and other networks. A prototype of the integrated system was implemented and tested through scenario-based simulations and field pilot exercises. The results confirmed that various on-site information was successfully displayed on a comprehensive situation board and that the system has high field applicability. Through this study, it is expected that efficient and proactive disaster response will be possible even in rapidly changing disaster environments.
