Disaster is a any community or regional events that disrupts community functions and activities and cause concern for the lives, health, and property of the citizens of that community. Successful management of disaster requires adequate planning
and
practice drills. emergency medical service must play and important role in disaster management because any disaster produces various types of patients who need emergent care.
We tried to analyse korean disaster planning in the review of three recent disasters including aircraft crach, ship submergence, and road traffic accident.
The result of disaster survey shows that there are many defects in korean disaster plan at the stage of notification, propagation, rescue, stabilization and withdrwal and emergency medical service system is not being involved in disaster
management
because korean disaster plan is a civil-defence model.
We conclude that current korean disaster plan is inadequate for management of disaster and it should be reinforced.
