Enhancement Strategy for Flood Risk Map Information System: A Framework for Resilience-Oriented Disaster Management

Flood disasters in Korea have become more frequent and intense due to climate change, with devastating impacts observed in urban areas and floodplains. This paper proposes an enhanced operational framework for Korea’s Flood Risk Map Information System (FRMIS), drawing from national flood damage data and global benchmarking cases. It addresses the limitations of current structural flood defenses and emphasizes the role of non-structural measures through high-resolution flood hazard mapping, integrated data systems, and scenario-based simulations. This study also proposes system upgrades including standardization, database integration, and public information services, and evaluates pilot implementations in selected basins. The research contributes a comprehensive strategy to optimize flood risk data utilization in policymaking and citizen preparedness, promoting resilience in the face of compound and extreme flood scenarios.
