  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

If an emergency situation occurs in KAERI, the emergency information will be broadcast only in Korean. However, foreigners who are work or research in KAERI is about 100. And they could not understand Korean well. What would happen to these people in real emergency situation without emergency broadcast for them? They could not get adequate information in adequate time. Which means that it can cause casualties. The purpose of emergency preparedness is to save the lives. Thus, emergency information should be broadcast in adequate language for everyone. The adequate emergency information spread is essential to save the lives. Thus, emergency information should be understandable for everyone regardless of the language used by receiver. Therefore, Emergency alarm system should be developed in multiple languages
