The Impact

Volatile and vulnerable conditions during disaster relief cause many problems on the coordination of aid replenishments. Research states that partnership improves coordination thus reducing the uncertainty condition along supply chain including in replenishment. This paper aims to fulfill the research gap on examining the impact of partnership in the disaster relief process. Dynamic characteristics model of this case was built by modifying the beer distribution game through Vensim PLE Plus. Model had been validated and verified with the West Java Regional Disaster Management Authority (BPPD). The simulation was run for for two types of product: repetitive demand (food package) and one-time demand (blanket). Total cost, bullwhip effect, and total distribution time for each scenario are then compared. The simulation results show that the proposed scenario, which is developed based on the usage of blockchain on the partnership system, can reduce the total distribution time for about 43% for blanket and 27% for food package. Meanwhile, the total cost for blankets can be reduced for about 29% and 13% for food packages. But on the other side, the partnership system had aggravated the bullwhip effect. Some future potential researches are also proposed in this study.

Disaster Communication

Abstract: Sinabung eruption in 2010 had led to a sense of trauma for Karo’s District residents, especially the refugees. Disaster relief emergency response was needed in a disaster. This study aims to describe the implementation of disaster communication management at Sinabung in 2010, obstacles of disaster management, and finding alternative of disaster communication management strategy, especially during emergency response. The results indicate the importance of coordination and communication between parties related to disaster communication management. Several problems discovered force the needs for the application of disaster communication management system, especially during emergency response in order to minimize disaster risks.Abstrak: Letusan Gunung Sinabung 2010 telah menyebabkan rasa trauma bagi warga Kabupaten Karo, khususnya para pengungsi.

AbstractThe Republic of Bulgaria is one of the smallest countries in southeastern Europe and has little experience with terrorist acts. During the past 20 years, only nine terrorism-related events have been recorded in Bulgaria, and no unconventional weapons have been used. Factors contributing to terrorism in Bulgaria have been: (1) Communist Party domination of the government and political process from 1944 to 1989; (2) ethnic and religious conflicts between the Bulgarian Orthodox Christian majority and the Turkish Muslim minority from 1983 to 1987; and (3) the relatively high level of organized crime after the Communist regime ended in 1990.The structure and function of the Disaster Relief System in Bulgaria not only are focused on the prevention of terrorism, but also on preparedness for the emergency response to terrorism-related events. Institutional components of the Disaster Relief System structure responsible for the emergency response to terrorism-related events include: (1) the Government of Bulgaria; (2) the State Agency for Civil Protection with 28 regional directorates; (3) the Ministry of Health with five national hospitals, 28 regional hospitals, and 28 EMS systems; (4) the Ministry of Defense with special military units for response to unconventional terrorist events, including nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons; (5) the Ministry of Internal Affairs with 28 police departments, 28 fire departments, and specialized anti-terrorist units; and (6) the Bulgarian Red Cross.A major future challenge in Bulgaria is the prevention of terrorism through political stability, economic prosperity, ethnic and religious tolerance, and more effective measures against organized criminal activities. A related challenge will be to improve the level of preparedness of all components of Disaster Relief.
