Abstract: Recently, the natural disaster has increased worldwide. In Korea, the damage to life and property caused by a typhoon, heavy rain, heavy snow and extreme wind also increases every year. Among natural disasters, the frequency and strength of wind has increased because sea surface temperature has risen due to the increase of the average temperature of the Earth. In case of the extreme wind disaster, it is impossible to control or reduce the occurrence and the recovery cost always exceeds the damage cost. Therefore, quantitative estimation of the damage cost for extreme wind needs to be established beforehand to install proactive countermeasures. In this study, the damage for private properties was analyzed based on the data for the past 10 year in Korea. The damage cost curve was also suggested for the metropolitan cities and provinces. The result shows the possibility for the regional application of the damage cost curve because the damage cost of regional area is estimated based on the cost of cities and provinces.
