Risk assessment was thus performed for the natural and social disasters with type of disaster in this paper. It is used as 2018 Guideline for disaster resource management (Ministry of Public Administration and Security) for the risk assessment. The data for the assessment is collected with the recent 20 years of the natural and social disasters. The types of the natural disaster are typhoon, heavy rain, heavy snow, strong wind, and high waves and those of the social disaster are fire, collapse, explosion, traffic accident, communication, environmental pollution accident, medical treatment, contagious animal disease, infectious disease, others human accident. The number of the assessed local government is 229 including Sejong, Jeju, and Seogwipo. Risk is classified into five levels. In the main results, Typhoon, heavy rain, heavy snow in the natural disaster are assessed to high risk relatively. On the other hand, Fire, traffic accident, contagious animal disease, other human accident in the social disaster are assessed to highly risky type compared to other types. This risk assessment should be considered in the planing of disaster resource management. PU - Korean Society Of Hazard Mitigation
