Dramatic global climate change makes unexpected natural disasters that create severe economic losses even though disaster preparedness implement sustainably. To quickly estimate disaster losses and then the priority of political response, there is a need to build the disaster damage assessment inventory in Korea. This study investigated inventory structures of South Korea and foreign natural disaster damage assessment models (HAZUS-MH and PHRLM in the US, TELES in Taiwan, Standard method in the Netherlands, MCM in the UK, FLEM in Japan). Also, we analyzed damage assessment methods considering the availability of spatial data, the response by land use and damage estimation methods. Also, the estimation methods are arranged according to the inventory structure divided into the building, other real assets, infrastructure area, agriculture area and forest area. If this inventory is used to build disaster data consistently, it will be possible to use as basic inventory structure for future damage assessment model development.
