– 4.13.(Thu) 09:00, Busan City Hall 15th floor Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters held the 8th Busan Future Innovation Conference presided over by Mayor Hyung-jun Park… The first local government in the country to discuss 「Integrated Urban Flood Management System」 for citizen service, launching service in the second half of this year

– (Integrated urban flood management system) Provides all information related to urban flooding in real time, including disaster maps such as flood risk information, optimal evacuation routes and road control conditions, past flood history, on-site CCTV, and measurement data based on the urban flood forecast map

– Mayor Park Hyeong-joon, “The safety of citizens is our top priority, and we will do our best to avoid disasters by establishing an interactive system that shares all information related to urban flooding with citizens in real time.”

 

Busan City (Mayor Hyeong-Jun Park) held the 13th Busan Future Innovation Conference presided over by Mayor Hyeong-Jun Park at the Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters on the 9th floor of Busan City Hall at 15:8 am on the XNUMXth. system” and discussed specific utilization and future development directions.

 

The meeting was attended by Professor Lee Sang-ho of Pukyong National University, president of the Korea Water Resources Society, Professor Tae-ho Chu of Pusan ​​National University, an expert in urban disaster prevention and hydrology, Hyun-kyung Kim, head of Korea Meteorological Administration in Busan, and representatives of government research institutes and companies. ·Experts in each field, such as software (S/W), attended and exchanged in-depth opinions on climate change and urban flood response measures using cutting-edge technology.

 

The meeting proceeded in the order of keynote presentation, policy presentation, system demonstration, opinion listening and discussion. Professor Lee Sang-ho of Pukyong National University gave a keynote presentation on 'climate change and urban flooding, and structural and non-structural countermeasures to them', and Busan Metropolitan City Citizen Safety Director Kim Kyung-deok gave a 'Integrated Urban Flood Management System' for 'creating a safe city based on smart technology' Policy presentations were made on construction projects and future tasks.

Busan City's 「Integrated Urban Flood Management System」 provides real-time information on urban flooding for the first time in the nation, and its core function is for users to respond to disasters using the acquired flood risk information. It is meaningful to attempt a paradigm shift from the method of passive propagation of various risk information centered on suppliers using smartphone messages and disaster text messages to active user-based disaster response through the provision of real-time information.

 

The information provided through the system includes ▲comprehensive user-based urban flood information, ▲real-time meteorological observation information such as river water level, tidal level, and rainfall information, ▲disaster information map, and natural disaster action tips.

 

Comprehensive urban flooding information is based on the 'Urban Flood Forecast Map' and 'Disaster Information Map' throughout Busan produced through the 'Analysis of Urban Flood Risk Areas and Establishment of Reduction Measures' service from June 2019 to December 6. By linking and analyzing various real-time data collected from the Korea Meteorological Administration rainfall forecast and flood detection sensor, rainfall meter, river level gauge, etc., flood risk information in 2020 stages of safety, caution, alert, and danger Provided.

 

Among the system's functions, a particularly notable point is that when evacuation is necessary, information such as road conditions, traffic control conditions, and shelter operation status can be checked in the system at once, and it provides the optimal evacuation route to avoid flooded areas. point.

 

Experts attending the day said that in order for Busan to become the most leading city in responding to disasters such as urban flooding, it is necessary to upgrade the system in collaboration with central organizations such as the Ministry of Environment and Korea Meteorological Administration, and ▲ integrate disaster information such as drought and heat waves in addition to urban flooding. Various opinions were suggested, such as consideration of the system to be considered, disaster prediction, and tasks to improve the reliability of real-time information.

 

The city announced that it would start the service of the integrated urban flood management system in the second half of this year by sufficiently supplementing the opinions of experts and self-improvements raised at today's meeting. However, at the beginning of the service, it was reported that the flood risk information generated may be somewhat inaccurate due to the lack of observation equipment and collected data such as flood detection sensors, and the fact that the developed algorithm has not been verified in real situations. Accordingly, it plans to supplement data accumulation and quality by expanding observation equipment, upgrading the system, and expanding data linkage.

 

Busan Mayor Park Hyung-joon emphasized that citizen safety is the top priority, saying, “No one is safe until everyone is safe.” In addition, “The most important part of disaster response is how quickly to detect and respond to disaster situations that occur in unexpected places or blind spots. We will aim for a two-way (interactive) system that exchanges and exchanges information.”

 

Meanwhile, 「Busan Future Innovation Meeting」 is a meeting in which the public, government, industry, and academia participate together to preemptively respond to current issues of municipal administration by Busan Mayor Hyung-joon Park and seek strategic promotion plans through wide-ranging discussions. It is held monthly.
