Natural conditions as well as the diversity of population and culture in Indonesia cause the risk of natural disasters, social disasters and complex emergencies to arise. The implementation of emergency response is also often not supportive, the distribution of aid and services is not fast, uneven and difficult to monitor properly, so that the progress of the results of disaster emergency response activities is less objectively measurable. In Sintang Regency, in addition to natural disasters, social disasters also often occur, because the facilities are not standardized and accommodated so that services are not optimal. Judging from the existing needs, the Disaster Management Center is a facility that can assist the implementation of Disaster Emergency Response activities in Sintang Regency. The Disaster Management Center can accommodate disaster emergency response activities so that it has strategic command lines so that information confusion can be minimized so as to realize appropriate policies in dealing with disasters. The planned Disaster Management Center is a facility that functions to accommodate agencies related to pre- and post-disaster management, both as a place for disaster management and as an information center. The design method for this Disaster Management Center uses a comparison of literatures and performs data processing to describe the design process of the Sintang Regency Disaster Management Center. The mass of the building is divided into three parts separated by function and purpose. The approach to design applies an integrated concept, referring to a standardized and accommodating spatial layout.

The emergency management community is working toward developments associated with the reduction of losses in lives, property and the environment caused by natural disasters. However, several limitations with the particular collaborative nature of current Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in use have been reported. In particular, how emergency management stakeholders within an ICT environment can bring together all their resources in a collaborative and timely manner so as to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of emergency response tasks. With this in mind, the authors describe the Grid-Aware Emergency Response Model (G-AERM) to make the best of functionality offered by emerging ICT to support intelligence in decision making toward a more effective and efficient emergency response management.

This research aims to find a model of disaster information dissemination based on volunteer communities in Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. In this research, data obtained from Focus Group Discussion (FGD) conducted by informants, in-depth interview with the experts related to this research, observation and literature review are analyzed. The sampling was done by purposive sample with criteria such as a person who (1) has been a volunteer disaster at least 1 year; (2) joins a volunteer community; (3) obtains a volunteer training (4) is active as disaster volunteer in the past year, conducting from five of volunteer communities, namely: TAGANA, UCS, PSM, SIBAT and DASI PENA. The total number of the informants is 13 people. Triangulation method is used by interviewing two of disaster practitioners who deal directly with disaster volunteer communities. The research results show (1) The person in charge for disaster information dissemination in Bandung Regency is Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) through the Operations Control Center Manager (PUSDALOPS) and the process of information dissemination begins with the early warning which is delivered to the village and sub-district or to the disaster volunteer communities via radio, SMS Gateway, words of mouth, website, blog, Twitter and Facebook; (2) There are many volunteer communities in Bandung Regency, some of which is founded by government agencies, private sectors, political parties, professional communities, the public, etc.; (3) The supervising institutions of volunteer communities provides the training to the members to have knowledges and skills to be able to deal with the disasters, protect themselves and help the others; (4) The character of the people who have experience in disaster frequently in the environment tends to think that disasters is a normal occurrence and feel like already knows everything so they are passive in seeking of disaster information. The characteristics of community are also influenced by religion and belief, environmental, economic, social and cultural factors as well as technological factors. (5) The role of the volunteer communities in the dissemination of disaster information is divided into three phases: pre-disaster, emergency response and post-disaster. The activities can be in the form of socialization, simulations and coaching for disasters, correcting the disaster disinformation, etc. (6) The volunteer communities coordinate with local community leaders/opinion leaders to make effective communication process with the public. (7) The direction of command/ coordination of disaster information dissemination based on volunteer communities started from the command of BPBD, then coordinated with the supervising institutions of volunteer communities, collaboration with opinion leaders and then prepare a good communication strategy in order to disseminate disaster information can be received by the public well. With good knowledge of the disaster, it is expected that the society becomes aware to the disaster, keeps the environment, protects themselves and helps families and the others, participating in disaster management and disaster risk reduction on pre-disaster, emergency response, and post-disaster (8) The model of disaster information dissemination is started from the policy of disaster management by appointing the person in charge for disaster information dissemination and coordinating with related parties, and then it is continued by determining the dissemination target, identifying the needs of disaster information, selecting and identifying the available information source and producing new information that has not been available yet but the people need it, composing module or disaster information package, arranging the message delivery strategy, choosing volunteer community as an information channel, coordinating with all of the parties in the field, executing the disaster information dissemination, collecting feedback, evaluating, compiling the report and recommendation from related parties as the material to make the policy of information dissemination better for the future.

Developing countries have still shortage of housing due to natural disasters. Houses get destroyed wholly or partly and it causes the increase of lack of housing stock of a country. In disaster management cycle, rehabilitation or reconstruction is an important issue to protect, reduce or mitigate the effect of disasters. For sustainable urban development, disaster consideration is as important as it helps to maintain the development growth rate and tries to make sure that the settlements are in a stable way. The paper describes the natural disasters and issues related to proper disaster housing for sustainable urban development on the basis of literature.

There has been an increase in the occurrence of natural disasters and their impact has aroused the interest of many stakeholders to incorporate different strategies on disaster management. Although disasters may end many opportunities and lives, the lives of survivors do not cease in the disaster affected areas. The impact of natural disasters and the consequent partial reconstruction efforts have specifically presented many challenges to women. In this context, the main research investigates the empowerment of women during post disaster reconstruction particularly in Sri Lanka. Among the factors that influence women's empowerment, existing policies and frameworks is one of the important factors that can play a major role within the post disaster reconstruction in Sri Lanka. Hence, in order to gain an understanding of the existing framework of women's empowerment, this study investigates the national and international policies and frameworks that exist within the post disaster context in Sri Lanka. The study found that even though polices are gender neutral, they are not gender sensitive. In addition, it was found that having a single policy or framework for the whole country is unlikely to be a success, therefore, any frameworks should have room to be adopted to the local situation. Santruka Stichiniu nelaimiu padaugejo, taigi del ju poveikio daug interesu grupiu susidomejo, kaip nelaimems valdyti pasitelkti ivairias strategijas. Nors nelaimes atima daug galimybiu ir gyvybiu, išlikusieji tebegyvena nelaimes nuniokotose teritorijose. Del stichiniu nelaimiu poveikio ir po ju vykstant daliniams atstatymo darbams, ypač daug sunkumu kyla moterims. Atsižvelgiant i tai, pagrindiniame tyrime nagrinejamas didesniu teisiu suteikimas moterims vykstant atstatymo po nelaimiu darbams, ypač Šri Lankoje. Be kitu veiksniu, kurie daro itaka suteikiant didesnes teises moterims, svarbi yra politika ir gaires, o ju reikšme Šri Lankoje atstatant nelaimes nuniokotas vietoves gali būti didžiule. Taigi siekiant suprasti esamas didesniu teisiu suteikimo moterims gaires, šiame tyrime nagrinejama nacionaline ir tarptautine politika bei gaires, Šri Lankoje taikomos darbu po nelaimiu kontekste. Tyrime nustatyta, kad net jei politika pirmenybes neteikia ne vienai lyčiai, i lytims svarbius klausimus ji neatsižvelgia. Be to, nustatyta, kad visoje šalyje taikant viena politika arba gaires vargu ar galima tiketis sekmes. Taigi visose gairese reikia numatyti galimybiu jas priderinti prie vietines situacijos.

AbstractHealth crisis is an event/series of events that threaten the health of individuals or communities caused by disasters and / or potentially disasters. Researchs on health crisis as scientific source in disaster policy making in Indonesia is still very limited. The description of health crises events of including victims, displacement and damage to health facilities and support for health crisis response in the form of emergency response along with the initial recovery by the Ministry of Health in 2016 were the aims of this study. This study is a qualitative study, using literature review method, reference / electronic information tracking such as through Health Crisis Management Information System, National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) website, Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Social Service, Regional Government Police and other related agencies. Secondary data from related units/agencies and the main Ministry of Health units are obtained through focus group discussions (FGDs). The frequency of health crisis events due to the disaster in 2016 was 661 incidents dominated by natural disasters as many as 400 events (60%), while the frequency of non-natural disasters was 237 events (36%) and social disasters 24 events (4%). Most of the health crisis incidents due to the 2016 disaster (97%) were the remaining hydrometeorological disasters, 3% of the most non-natural disasters were outbreaks of food poisoning, transportation accidents, fire, technology failure, industrial accidents and outbreaks of disease. The ratio of refugees due to natural disaster is 693 per event, while social disasters are 225 per incident The ratio of deaths from non-natural disasters is 1.5 times higher than natural disaster. Poisoning has the highest victim ratio of 20 per incident of poisoning. Health facility damage caused by disaster 174 units. The greatest health impacts arising from the health crisis in 2016 was. dominated by natural disasters in the forms of floods, landslides and earthquake disasters. Effective emergency response efforts must involve as many sub-clusters as possible that have special expertise to overcome the impact on disasters.  AbstrakKrisis kesehatan merupakan peristiwa/rangkaian peristiwa yang mengancam kesehatan individu atau masyarakat yang disebabkan oleh bencana dan/atau berpotensi bencana. Penelitian tentang krisis kesehatan sebagai sumber ilmiah dalam pengambilan kebijakan kebencanaan di Indonesia masih sangat terbatas.

In times of natural disasters such as floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, etc., people need information so that relief operations such as help can save many lives. The implications of using social media in post-disaster management are explored in the article. The approach has three main parts: (1) extraction, (2) classification, and (3) validation. The results prove that machine learning algorithms are highly reliable in elimination disaster non-related tweets and news posts. The authors strongly believe that their model is more reliable as they are validating the tweets using news posts by providing various ratings according to the trueness.

This study aims to determine how the coordination of regional disaster management agencies in providing logistics and equipment for disaster management in Gunung Mas district, Central Kalimantan province, from the elements of time management, synchronization, shared interests, and common goals in coordination. The method used in this research is qualitative. Data collection techniques are by using interviews, observation, and documentation study. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out through three activity streams which were an interrelated unit, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. Based on the results of the research, it found that the coordination carried out by the Regional Disaster Management Agency in the provision of logistics and equipment from the aspects of time management and timeliness, synchronization, shared interests, and common goals have been well-coordinated by the system. Pattern as well as the applicable provisions, namely when pre-disaster, emergency response, and post-disaster, the only obstacle in this coordination is different lines of command or different work units among other related agencies. This research concludes that the coordination of the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Gunung Mas Regency in the provision of logistics and equipment for disaster management in Gunung Mas Regency has been well-coordinated according to the existing system and the prevailing patterns and regulations. These obstacles in coordination are greatly influenced by the lack of understanding from other relevant agencies regarding their duties, powers and responsibilities for disaster management. The next inhibiting factor is that the service/agency/other institution does not have a hierarchical relationship (line of command) due to different work units, resulting in less than optimal coordination.

Abstract Managing natural disasters amid the Covid-19 pandemic needs a special strategic approach. Indonesia, as a natural disaster-prone country, is now facing a problem due to areas with high vulnerability and a lack of disaster literacy. A multi-disaster e.g., the occurrence of natural disasters in the middle of Covid-19) management strategy is badly needed to face up to this situation. This paper offers a multi-disaster management strategy based on empirical experience as a reference for stakeholders, especially government at all levels. Five strategies are offered to overcome the impacts of a multi-disaster event, especially in natural disaster-prone areas with high Covid-19 case rates. Strengthening government institutions is the first priority to be addressed as coordination among government at all levels (from central to regency and city governments) will minimize the casualties. Logistic and infrastructure arrangements should be well managed to avoid any panic and chaos during multi-disasters. Recruitment of volunteers could be very helpful during the emergency response stage. Provision of evacuation sites and temporary shelters that meet the Covid-19 requirements is a must to prevent virus spread during evacuation and emergency response stages. Last but not least, increasing individual disaster literacy should be considered an essential component of a multi-disaster management strategy. Finally, well-managed coordination between all stakeholders is paramount, especially in natural disaster-prone areas with a high level of Covid-19 spread.

This work presents an early concept of a framework that is suitable for emergency response teams engaged in indoor rescue/evacuation operations in post-disaster scenarios. Such a concept warrants availability of information regarding the count of persons trapped inside the buildings at different locations, and at different floors of a large commercial building. Although appreciable research has been done to improve disaster management using Internet of Things (IoT), yet most of those studies are aimed at disaster management in open spaces usually spanning the large geographical areas ranging from a city to several hundreds of miles. This paper presents a framework that relies on IoT devices to transmit data to the cloud, based on which the rescue operations can be initiated without any considerable time lag. The systems based on the proposed framework could also be used to assist the rescue teams during the rescue operations by providing the real-time updates of the vital parameters inside the disaster-struck buildings.

Natural disasters can take away children’s lives and their right to quality education. This article identifies and discusses strategies that schools can employ to prepare for and minimise the effects of natural disasters. Using theoretical propositions and literature on disaster management, the article discusses strategies for the prevention of and preparedness to respond to and recovery from natural disasters within a school setting. Evidence from research indicates that there are basic principles and practices of disaster management that school management and learners may not be aware of. Based on the identified theoretical principles and practices for disaster management, the article concludes that both state and non-state parties have disaster management responsibilities and therefore should formulate and disseminate the basic principles and practices of disaster prevention, preparedness and post-disaster therapy to schools because of the vulnerability of children to disaster. In addition, it also recommends that disaster management should be included in the school curricula through subjects like geography, science, social studies or civic education and life orientation or skills training.
