Abstract January 2011 visited on Queensland Australia floods of proportions many thought could not have occurred again, following disaster management planning taken after the historic floods of the 1800s and 1974. This paper presents some reflections on this natural disaster, which affected many members of the ANZAM community and left a permanent mark on those directly affected and those who watched as the waters washed away lives, memories and many of the things that give people a sense of place. Amongst tragedy came stories of generosity of human spirit as well as the occasional case of greed and callousness. When all was over, however, there was no doubt about the human side of disaster management. Through two case studies of a family-owned business and a large organization impacted by the flood in Brisbane, we highlight some lessons for disaster management and propose some strategies for building social capital in times of disaster.

In designing  methods Pahl and Beitz with steps Planning and explanation  of the task,  design concept,  design forms, and design details. Collecting  data using methods Individual  Questionnaire  and Focus Group Dis- cussion the results obtained attributes  required in the design. Results of the research is a com- mon kitchen design for a natural disaster  are portable, easily assembled and disassembled, can be set  up in various  locations  condition,  easy to operate, able to accommodate facilities  and needs. Common  kitchen  design  produced in the form  of large-scale  three-dimensional   model, a blueprint  for the technical  specifications,  and the protoype. Keywords: natural disasters;  design; soup kitchen;  portable.   ABSTRAK Indonesia merupakan daerah rawan bencana.
