Various efforts are fundamentally needed for the prevention of and protection from disasters and calamities. We understand the necessity for disaster technology, and we therefore set up the Incheon Disaster Prevention Research Center (IDPRC) at Incheon National University (INU) in 1997. Accordingly, the Incheon Disaster Prevention Research Center (IDPRC) in Incheon National University (Figure 1) has conducted research on the prevention of disasters and calamities and has disseminated this research through various seminars, conferences, and lectures. This research has been conducted in cooperation with Incheon National University (INU) in various fields, including structural, soil, hydraulic, and environmental. The Incheon Disaster Prevention Research Center (IDPRC) aims to be a leader in the disaster industry through its various research activities and global conferences.
