Promoted through three strategies: integrated information sharing foundation, market expansion, and policy digitalization

Government to Promote 'Disaster Safety Industry Integrated Information System Construction'... Targeting Launch in 2022 View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 20th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it will establish the "Comprehensive Disaster Safety Industry Information System," where disaster safety industry information scattered across various agencies can be easily accessed by the public in one place.


The information system is designed to enable companies (suppliers) and buyers (demanders) working in the disaster safety industry to easily check and share relevant information, thereby revitalizing the disaster safety industry.


Through the system, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to help small businesses that develop advanced disaster safety technologies or products but face difficulties in commercialization to more easily access support information. For demand companies and public institutions, it will provide a way to view excellent disaster safety products and technology information at a glance.


The information system will be built based on three strategies. First, by gathering and providing industrial promotion support information and excellent disaster safety products and technology information offered by each agency in one place, it will establish an integrated information-sharing foundation for the disaster safety industry. This will reduce the inconvenience users previously experienced when searching for scattered information across multiple systems via internet searches and enable active information circulation among disaster safety industry stakeholders.


It will also promote the expansion of the "disaster safety industry market" by supporting active transactions between suppliers and demanders of disaster safety products or technologies. Suppliers (companies) can promote their disaster safety products and technologies, while demanders (local governments and public institutions) can register the disaster safety products and technologies they need, making the system a platform that supports active transactions between suppliers and demanders.


Additionally, through the "online transformation of disaster safety industry-related policies," the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will improve the inconvenience of public services related to the disaster safety industry. Public services such as disaster safety product certification and designation of new disaster prevention technologies, which were previously applied for via visits or mail, will be processed through the system, enhancing convenience for the public and reliability of administrative work.


To build a solid system, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will continuously consult with various public and private institutions holding disaster safety industry-related information to establish information linkage plans. The system is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year and piloted in the first half of next year.



Yoon Jong-jin, Director of the Safety Policy Office, said, "We will make the Comprehensive Disaster Safety Industry Information System a platform for all disaster safety industry stakeholders to participate in and utilize for information sharing," and added, "We will strive to develop a user-centered, easy-to-use, and useful system."
