Abstract: Heat wave-related information is important in establishing effective heat wave response policies.The National Disaster Management Research Institute (NDMI) produced a heat distribution map that can observe heat phenomena by estimating the highest daily temperature based on satellite images in 2017 and supports local governments' heat wave response policies.For effective heat wave management, highresolution information on areas such as heat distribution maps is also important; however, various information is required to develop national heat wave measures.Currently, information related to heat waves is provided independently by institutions, such as weather, safety, and health, so it is inconvenient to acquire and use them individually.Accordingly, the NDMI developed an information-integrated display service (heat wave comprehensive information system) that allows heat wave managers to understand situation management information in real time.The heat wave comprehensive information system provides data on weather, safety, and health in an integrated, and expresses it in a map type, a numerical type, and a table and graph.This study presented the main information of the comprehensive heat wave information system and future operation plans.It is believed that it will contribute to the reduction of damage by supporting the regional heatwave monitoring system through the developed heatwave comprehensive information system.
