Abstract :
Our society suffers from losses because of various and complicated disasters, so government organizations are struggling to mitigate disasters to prevent a growing number of casualties. Research on disaster risk warnings has been growing steadily, and at present there are a number of places equipped with the warning systems. However, this service is not applicable for small-scale disasters because it is mostly applied in emergency situations. Therefore, a service that consistently provides disaster information is needed This paper introduces a customized disaster information search service based on a map, and suggests disaster information notification service based on an application interface for users.
