This paper proposes the "spider-web approach" as a new principle to draw implications on emergency management in Korea. The approach includes: 1) four overlapping phases of emergency management lifecycle, 2) horizontal and vertical networking, and 3) functional and hazard-specific approaches in the field of emergency management. Korea has only partially used these three factors in its three major programs, such as the Basic Plan on National Safety Management (BPNSM), the Guide on How to Set Up Emergency Operations Plans (GHSUEOPR), and the National Infrastructure Protection System (NIPS). Thus, the major tenet of this paper is the need for Korea to adopt the spider-web approach and then use it to the full extent for emergency management.
