6 6 Disaster Notification Board System

7 7 TV Disaster Warning Broadcasting System

8 8 Radio Disaster Warning Broadcasting System 1. Out breaking of emergent disaster situation and its foreseeing warns when out breaking of local downpour, typhoon attack, flooding warns at the vulnerable time 2. Requesting of alarming the disaster warning at specific area 3. Reviewing of disaster warning alarming and operation Finalizing the area and selecting correct sentence Starting operation of disaster warning alarming system 4. Acting of disaster warn alarming system for and at specific area 5. Starting of disaster warn broadcasting Auto radio turning on and maximizing of its volume at specific area 6.

9 9 Case Study Automatic Rainfall Warning System

10 10 Automatic Rainfall Warning System System Overview Conduct warning and information broadcasting in and around mountain valley area

11 11 Automatic Rainfall Warning System System Overview Automatic rainfall (water level) observing station at the upper and middle area of mountain valley Control Station Automatic warning system at the lower area Rainfall Station Warning Station Automatic remote control/ monitoring station at control center Monitoring Station

12 12 Developing Hazard Forecasting Automatic Rainfall Warning System Predefine rainfall amount for warning through runoff analysis Dissemination Mechanisms The Rainfall Station transmits the relevant data to the Control Station when sensing the predefined rainfalls The Warning Station sets off warning siren and information message according to the result of management of the Monitoring Station

13 13 Observing the Hazards Automatic Rainfall Warning System Automatically observing rain fall, water level status at the upper/middle areas

14 14 Automatic Rainfall Warning System Snap Shots Control Station Warning Station Monitoring Station

15 15 Legislative and Legal Framework Automatic Rainfall Warning System Disaster and Safety Management Basic Law: Articles 38 & 66 Implementation of disaster warning systems and related budget Financial and Resource Requirements From 1996 to sets, US$64 million From 2006 to sets, US$37 million

16 16 Organizational Roles and Linkages Automatic Rainfall Warning System Central Government: The National Emergency Management Agency Planning, Management of system Development of techniques Budget support: 50% of the total cost Local Governments: Provincial and County Level Operation of warning system Maintenance Education and publicizing of system

17 17 Lessons learned Automatic Rainfall Warning System PRECISE WARNING CRITERIA Required At first, 8 mm/10min of precipitation makes signal Frequent false alarms make the system mistrustful The warning criteria need to be improved according to each region s characteristics through runoff analysis

18 18 Specific Recommendations Automatic Rainfall Warning System The concept and framework of this Automatic Rainfall Warning System can be expanded and applied various sites for multi-hazards (typhoon, torrential rain, tsunami, etc.) It needs accurate basic input data and information precise forecasting techniques practical warning criteria proper locations of each station

19 19 Future Direction for Early Warning Systems Towards Comprehensive Early Warning Systems To construct a working Early Warning System, international cooperation, as well as system refinement, is important to minimize loss of lives in the regional level. Need to expand and integrate currently-available local warning systems into a regional level covering multi-hazards including Tsunami, Typhoon and Tidal wave. Effective Early Warning Systems need to consider emergency action plan, disaster response activities including emergency aid and training.
