The roles of emergency managers and emergency social services directors to support disaster risk reduction in Canada

This study aimed to assess theeffectiveness of social services delivery on municipal risk reduction unitof Municipality of Santa Cruz, Laguna. It specifically sought to answer the questions: 1.) What is the level of social services delivery of municipal disaster risk reduction unit in terms of: a.) transparency, b.) accountability, c.) Participation, and d.) responsiveness? 2.) What is the level of effectiveness disaster risk reduction in terms of a.) preparedness, b.) mitigation, c.) disaster response? 3.) Do social services delivery such as the transparency, accountability, participation, and responsiveness have a significant effect with the disaster management in terms of preparedness, mitigation, and disaster response. The researcher employed the descriptive-correlational design in gathering and treating data the foregoing investigation. One hundred (100) residence from the selected Barangay in Santa Cruz, Laguna were the respondents in this study under purposive sampling technique. One set of questionnaire was issued to the actual respondents. To avoid guesswork and obtain reliable data and information,Likert -type of questions were provided. The average mean scores of 3.11, 3.14, 3.11, and 3.14 respectively, that obtained 3.13 implied that respondents belief onsocial services delivery such as the transparency, accountability, participation, and responsiveness was moderately high. While the disaster risk reduction system in social services delivery had an average mean scores of 3.23, 3.12, and 2.97 respectively, that obtained the average mean of 3.11, implied that the respondents belief on thedisaster management in terms of preparedness, mitigation, and disaster response was moderately high. The computed p-values of .069, and .743 showed that social services delivery has a significant effect to the preparedness and disaster response of the disaster risk reduction. However, the mitigation showed not significant. In some the disaster risk reduction manifested moderately high level of social services delivery with regards to transparency, accountability, participation and responsiveness. Relatively, the disaster management in social services delivery of municipal disaster risk reduction such as preparedness, mitigation, and disaster response were moderately high. The good governance practices registered significant relationship to the disaster risk reduction but there was some circumstance which not significant. Therefore, the hypothesis stating that the social services delivery has no significant effect to the disaster management was not supported.

Landslide Risk Reduction

Landslides have occurred in various places in Indonesia. Likewise with West Java, there were many regions that has experienced repeated landslides. Having many experience of occurrences of landslides, we should have had a good landslide risk reduction program. Indeed, the incidence of landslides depends on many variables. Due to that condition, it may that a region would have different variable with another region. So it is impossible to generalize the implementation of a mitigation technology for all areas prone to landslides. Research of the Cililin's landslide is to anticipate the next disasters that may happen in around the area of 2013 Cililin Landslide. Through observation lithological conditions, water condition, land cover and landscape, as well as consideration of wide dimension of the building footing, the distance of building to the slopes and so forth, it has been determined some efforts of disaster risk reduction in the area around the landslide against the occurrence of potential landslide in the future.Bencana tanah longsor telah terjadi di berbagai tempat di Indonesia. Demikian halnya dengan Jawa Barat, tidak sedikit daerahnya telah berulang kali mengalami longsor. Seharusnya dengan telah banyaknya kejadian longsor, kita mampu mengupayakan program penurunan risiko longsor secara baik. Memang kejadian longsor bergantung pada banyak variabel, dimana dari satu daerah dengan daerah yang lain akan sangat memungkinkan mempunyai variabel yang berbeda, sehingga tidak mungkin kita membuat generalisasi penerapan suatu teknologi mitigasinya untuk semua daerah rawan longsor. Penelitian longsor di Cililin dilakukan untuk mengantisipasi terjadinya bencana di sekitar daerah Longsor Cililin 2013 yang lalu. Melalui pengamatan kondisi litologi, keairan, tutupan lahan dan bentang alam yang ada, serta pertimbangan akan dimensi luas pijakan bangunan, jarak batas bangunan dengan lereng dan lain sebagainya, telah ditentukan beberapa upaya penurunan risiko bencana di daerah sekitar longsor terhadap potensi kejadian longsor dimasa mendatang.Keywords: Landslide, risk reduction, footing of building, Cililin
