This paper proposes location based disaster information distribution (LDID) platform for South Korea by referring to L-Alert platform. The L-Alert platform is a platform for gathering disaster information (e.g., damage type and size) from local and government organizations (e.g., national weather service and fire department) and distributing disaster information for people. Centric servers with L-Alert platform can collect disaster information with standardized formats and can change disaster information's format to a format that corresponds to transmission media (e.g., television, radio, Internet, and cellphone) for distributing the disaster information. The L-Alert platform is a good platform for distributing disaster information accurately and quickly. South Korea has developed mobile systems for broadcasts and communications. LDID platform in this paper provides people with disaster information corresponding location of the devices for mobile broadcasts and broadcast devices. Therefore, the platform of this paper enables the people to perform appropriate responses corresponding to their locations.
