| The disaster management system of Korea dates back to “buyeok” (compulsory service) in the era of the Three Kingdoms, which was succeeded by “hyangyak” in the Joseon dynasty and then by the Civil Defense Basic Law enacted in 1975, when Korea gained independence. |
|
 |
| NEMA, which used to be the Headquarters of Civil Defense and Disaster Management in the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs, was opened on June 1, 2004. |
|
 |
| NEMA’s main objective is to protect the lives and properties of the Korean people from the large-scale disasters that have repeatedly occurred in Korea every year since the 1990s. |
