1. Public-Private Partnership for Disaster Risk Reduction:
Experience from Korea
2nd Disaster Experts Conference on
DRR Technology & Policy Sharing in Asian Countries

Graduate School of Governance, Sung Kyun Kwan University

2. Background
Public-private partnerships in Korea have a 50 year history as the central government has driven development with support and incentive to companies for specific policy objectives
While Korea does not suffer as many disasters as its regional neighbors, it has nonetheless begun the development of a DRR technology industry to meet global demands
Ministry of Public Safety and Security is working with researchers, industry, and foreign officials to advance the technology applications for DRR

3. Ministry of Public Safety and Security
This project is supported by the Korean Ministry of Public Safety and Security (MPSS). MPSS is an organization for ensuring the safety of people and disaster management that handles all sorts of disasters and safety problems. It was established in an effort to create a prompt, comprehensive system to cope with disasters and safety problems.

4. Site Project Overview
Global DRR Technology site serves the community of professionals, researchers, and citizens who have interest in DRR and the attendant industries.
This site serves as a source of information about disasters and DRR technology, as well as providing a forum for visitors to communicate and share ideas.
The site provides extensive information about DRR Technology, DRR Education, DRR Policy, as well as Case Studies, and a Community section for a variety of interactions.

5. www.pr4gdm.org Policy and research for global disaster management
A joint partnership with the MPSS, university researchers, and foreign advisory consultants
Cooperation with UNISDR and other organizations
Objective is a comprehensive web-based information and product market for East Asian DRR technology

6. Linking Policy to Technology
One of the key needs is to further develop the unique aspect of the project: bringing DRR technology into DRR policy plans and implementation
The repository of international policies on the site needs to be directly linked to the applicable technology products
Future opportunities for DRR technology may also be inspired by policy; innovation driven be need
