To understand the socially rooted measures in disaster management and reconstruction, we studied Indonesia as amodel fromthe perspective of social flux, by incorporating the latest knowledge in this field. Characteristically, in Indonesian society, people move so frequently that it is difficult for information or knowledge to accumulate; their living and occupational forms are constantly in flux. Because of these characteristics, supporters and local residents of Indonesia have devised a variety of measures for effective disaster management, humanitarian assistance, and reconstruction. However, such measures have often not been positively evaluated – they have been viewed as an immature response of Indonesian society. In this paper, we have positively reviewed the various measures taken in response to the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the Java earthquake of 2006, and the West Sumatra Earthquake of 2009 in order to construct an Indonesian model of disaster management and reconstruction from the perspective of social flux. We hope the proposed model will also prove effective in many other parts of the world.

A post-tsunami survey was conducted along the Myanmar coast two months after the 2004 Great Sumatra earthquake ( Mw=9.0) that occurred off the west coast of Sumatra and generated a devastating tsunami around the Indian Ocean. Visual observations, measurements, and a survey of local people's experiences with the tsunami indicated some reasons why less damage and fewer casualties occurred in Myanmar than in other countries around the Indian Ocean. The tide level at the measured sites was calibrated with reference to a real-time tsunami datum, and the tsunami tide level range was 2–3 m for 22 localities in Myanmar. The tsunami arrived three to four hours after the earthquake.

Disaster Management System

Southeast Asia was in a natural disaster thus the management was supposed to be a priority to the existing states in this territory. It is the most vulnerable to disaster in the world. By then, the member states of ASEAN agree to issue the regulation for disaster management, ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) that in forwarding established ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre). It is facilitating cooperation and coordination for disaster management in the ASEAN territory. The organization was established in Indonesia as a member state with potential disaster. To reinforce the regulation and disaster management system, the government issues Act No.24 of 2007 on disaster management as the base and manual. The policy refers to the activities implemented immediately for an accident in control arising worst impact, involving rescue and evacuation of the victim, properties, compliance of demand, shelter, refugees handling, and facilities-infrastructure restoration. Moreover, the Act regulating disaster mitigation-based layout system set in an attempt to improve safety and living comfort.

Post Disaster

Indonesia is one of the very prone countries to disaster. The tsunami and earthquake disasters caused enormous damage to property and infrastructure as well as loss of life. An earthquake on September 30, 2009, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale struck the west coast of Sumatra, causing loss of life and damage to infrastructure. There were around 1,115 people killed, 1,214 seriously injured and 1,688 people lightly injured. A comprehensive study of natural disaster management activities or systems should be used as learning materials to form a disaster management system. Disaster preparedness by minimizing vulnerability has been identified as a better approach to dealing with disasters than post-disaster response. Creating a culture of prevention is critical to dealing with everyday hazards and the consequences of disasters. The study is using data from a natural disaster in west Sumatra, and data from people who were involved in the process of reconstruction post disasters in west Sumatra. This study aims to obtain an accurate description of the reconstruction post-disaster and relation with responsive gender activities in West Sumatra, and identify how the gender effect on reconstruction post-disaster in the West Sumatra region.

2004 Tsunami

Indonesia memiliki catatan sejarah yang panjang dengan bencana tsunami. Dari sejumlah kejadian tsunami yang ada, tsunami Samudra Hindia tahun 2004 dinilai sebagai bencana alam yang paling mematikan sepanjang abad dan paling berperan dalam mengubah paradigma manajemen kebencanaan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau pola kejadian tsunami dan perkembangan manajemen bencana di Indonesia setelah tsunami tahun 2004 dengan memanfaatkan database tsunami dan tinjauan literatur. Sebanyak 22 kejadian tsunami telah tercatat di Indonesia selama 2005-2018, di mana sebagian besar lokasi tsunami terkonsentrasi di Pulau Sumatera bagian barat dan bersumber dari Samudra Hindia. Tujuh kejadian diantaranya menimbulkan dampak signifikan, termasuk dua tsunami terakhir yang dipicu oleh faktor non seismik. Sistem manajemen bencana sebenarnya telah mengalami perubahan secara besar-besaran setelah tsunami tahun 2004, mulai dari berlakunya peraturan perundang-undangan tentang penanggulangan bencana, pembentukan institusi baru untuk penanggulangan bencana, hingga konstuksi sistem peringatan dini tsunami (InaTEWS). Meskipun telah berfokus pada upaya preventif, dampak tsunami dalam beberapa tahun terakhir masih cukup besar. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh 4 faktor utama: (1) konsentrasi penduduk yang tinggi di area bahaya tsunami, (2) terbatasnya infrastruktur diseminasi peringatan dini, (3) kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat untuk melakukan evakuasi mandiri tanpa menunggu peringatan, dan (4) sistem peringatan dini tsunami belum mempertimbangkan faktor non seismik.Indonesia has a long history with the tsunami. From numerous tsunami events in the world, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was considered as the deadliest natural disaster of the century and had the most role in changing the paradigm of disaster management in Indonesia. This study aims to review the spatial pattern of tsunami events and the development of disaster management in Indonesia following the 2004 tsunami through the tsunami database and literature review. At least there are 22 tsunami events were recorded in Indonesia in the period of 2005-2018, where most of its locations were concentrated on the western part of Sumatra Island and sourced from the Indian Ocean. We had identified that seven of these events have significant impacts, including the last two tsunamis triggered by non-seismic factors. The disaster management system has actually improved drastically following the 2004 tsunami, such as the enactment of laws and regulations on disaster management, the establishment of special institutions for disaster management, and the construction of a tsunami early warning system (InaTEWS). Although it has focused on preventive measures, tsunami impacts in recent years are still quite large. This situation is affected by four factors: (1) high and dense population in the tsunami hazard area, (2) limited infrastructure for early warning dissemination, (3) lack of public awareness to conduct evacuations following the disaster events, and (4) early warning systems for tsunami has not considered yet the non-seismic factors.

Overfishing and overcapacity is a problem for the sustainability of capture fisheries development. Indonesia has experienced overfishing or called overfishing and overcapacity or called excess fishing capacity. The west coast of the island of Sumatra has enormous fishing potential, both in territorial waters and in ZEE waters. The purpose of the study was to understand the trend of fluctuations in fish catches in the waters of West Sumatra. Assessing the effect of boat trips on fish catches in the waters of West Sumatra and providing basic information and management of fisheries in the waters of West Sumatra. The research material used is Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE) data. The overall data was monthly average data in 2019 with fishing ground areas in the Western waters of Sumatra, the Indian Ocean. The results showed the composition of catches in the waters of West Sumatra landed in PPN Sibolga there are three dominant types of fish, namely skipjack tuna 14.566.140 kg (49.90%), decapterus 6.404.470 kg (21.94%) and tunny 2.480.880 kg (8.50%), The dynamics of fish catches in PPN Sibolga in 2019 were highest in May at 3.945.143 kg and June was the lowest catch month of 1.093.292 kg and the average monthly catch in 2019 was 2.508.436 kg, the catch per business unit landed in PPN Sibolga in 2019 obtained the highest CPUE of 8.474 kg/trip (July 2019) and the lowest 1,755 kg/trip (June 2019).   ABSTRAK Overfishing dan overcapacity erupakan masalah keberlanjutan pembangunan perikanan tangkap. Indonesialah mengalami overfishing atau disebut penangkapan berlebih dan overcapacity atau disebut kelebihan kapasitas penangkapan.  Pantai Barat Pulau Sumatera memiliki potensi perikanan yang sangat besar, baik perairan teritorial maupun perairan ZEE. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk memahami trend fluktuasi hasil tangkapan ikan di Perairan Barat Sumatera, mengkaji pengaruh trip kapal dengan hasil tangkapan ikan di Perairan Barat Sumatera dan memberikan informasi dasar dan pengelolaan perikanan di Perairan Barat Sumatera. Materi penelitian yang digunakan adalah data Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE). Keseluruhan data merupakan data rata-rata bulanan tahun 2019 dengan daerah fishing ground Perairan Barat Sumatera Samudera Hindia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan komposisi hasil tangkapan di Perairan Barat Sumatera yang didaratkan di PPN Sibolga terdapat tiga jenis ikan yang dominan yaitu cakalang 14.566.140 kg (49,90%), layang 404.470 kg (21,94%) dan tongkol 2.480.880 kg (8,50%), Dinamika hasil tangkapan ikan di PPN Sibolga di tahun 2019  tertinggi terjadi pada bulan Mei sebesar 3.945.143 kg dan bulan Juni merupakan bulan hasil tangkapan terendah yaitu 1.093.292 kg dan rata-rata hasil tangkapan bulanan tahun 2019 adalah 2.508.436 kg, Hasil tangkapan per-unit usaha yang didaratkan di PPN Sibolga di tahun 2019 didapatkan CPUE tertinggi yaitu 8.474 kg/trip (Juli 2019) dan terendah 1.755 kg/trip (Juni 2019).

A huge earthquake of magnitude M 9.0 occurred at 00:58 (UT), December 26, 2004, in the sea off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, followed by a huge tsunami that hit almost all coasts facing the Indian Ocean. We conducted a field survey in the residential area of Banda Aceh, the town of the severest damage by the tsunami, on the west coast of the northernmost point Sumatra, Sigli City, about 80 kilometers east of Banda Aceh three-four weeks after the event. In Banda Aceh, almost all houses in the residential area about 2 km from the coast were swept away, while houses more than 3 km rarely were. Inundation continued about 5 to 6 km from the shoreline. In Lhoknga and several villages on the west coast of Sumatra Island near Banda Aceh, where tsunamis 15 to 30 meters high hit coastal villages, nobody survived. Along the valley about 1 km north of the cement plant, seawater rose to a height of 34.8 m above MSL, which is the highest recorded inundation measured in our survey.

Disaster Losses

Disasters are a form of collective stress posing an unavoidable threat to people around the world. Disaster losses result from interactions among the natural, social, and built environments, which are becoming increasingly complex. The risk of disaster and people's susceptibility to damage or harm from disasters is represented with the concept of vulnerability. Data from the Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and genocide in Darfur, Sudan, show poor people suffer disproportionately from disasters. Disaster social work intervenes in the social and built environments to reduce vulnerability and prevent or reduce long-term social, health, and mental health problems from disasters.

AbstractThere is a huge need for access to information in the areas of disaster relief disaster medicine, and humanitarian assistance. The extraordinarily rapid increase in the literature in these subject areas attests to this need. However, use of the printed word has substantial limitations that are even more profound in the developing world.Currently, the information available tends to be fragmented and sequestered by the specific interests of the organizations and governments involved. The evolving electronic methods for the storage, organization, and retrieval of information makes coordination between organizations concerned with disasters within our grasp.This paper discusses the Center of Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance and describes the World Wide Web and the implications it has in disaster management and medicine. It describes methods for obtaining user input to the techniques used for the development of the world wide web for the areas of disaster management and disaster medicine. The implementation of an on-line Internet reference desk that will provide: 1) a list of “experts;” 2) a searchable disaster database; and 3) on-line simulation courses and training exercises also is discussed.
