CHAPTER 1 - TYPHOON COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES
to integrate disaster-related information such
as rainfall, water surface elevation, discharge,
snow depth, and CCTV data collected by various
related organizations and local governments
of cities and districts. CCTVs are an especially
important tool given their locations in key areas,
although most of their application so far has
been in law enforcement rather than disaster
management. NEMA has developed an integrated
operation system to connect all disaster-related
information and represent them on GIS maps for
real-time linking of monitoring meteorological
and hydrological data, including CCTV images.
The system is equipped with an advanced
monitoring function, facilitated by color- and
shape-coding. These integrated measurements
on GIS maps will significantly contribute to
decision-making for managing extreme events
on a local scale.

- Information from local measuring station 15
· Information from the local measuring stations
such as water surface elevation, discharge,
rainfall, snow depth, and CCTV data;
· Natural disaster information such as CCTV
images of inundation, landslides, flooding,
debris flow, and damage collected by the local
measuring stations;
· Natural disaster information such as CCTV
images of fire, wild fires, collapses, and explosions
from the local measuring stations;
· Update of information on automatic local
measuring stations through continuous video
capture.
