Flood is one of the most dominant disasters in Indonesia with an incident that tends to increase. Lamongan District is an area with a fairly high risk of flooding due to the intensity of which it occurs every year. The high risk of flooding is caused by two reasons, the Bengawan Solo flow and the rainfall (the Bengawan Njero flow). Every flood disaster that occurs will certainly cause various impacts from damage to infrastructure, loss of property, and casualties. Disaster management efforts are certainly carried out to minimize the risk and impact of flood disasters in Lamongan District, such as through disaster mitigation. This research aims to determine disaster mitigation carried out in Lamongan District as an effort to minimize the impact of flooding. This research used descriptive qualitative research methods. Disaster mitigation in this research is divided into two according to Perka BNPB Number 4 of 2008, active disaster mitigation and passive disaster mitigation. The results of this research indicated that active mitigation in Lamongan District was carried out through, making flood disaster signs, supervising spatial planning, conducting training and counseling on flood disasters to officials, communities, and students, planning evacuation places and flood disaster evacuation routes and making embankment reinforcement. Meanwhile, passive mitigation in Lamongan District was carried out through, drafting laws and regulations, making flood-prone maps, making guidelines for every disaster management activity, making disaster posters, conducting flood risk studies, conducting disaster education, forming village forums, and prioritizing disaster management in development planning.

China is in a period of rapid urbanization. Due to the high concentration of population and industries, the loss due to flood and waterlogging is becoming more and more serious. Therefore, it is of great significance to strengthen the analysis and evaluation of the losses due to flood and waterlogging disasters in China for the recent years. This study analyzed the losses caused by flood and waterlogging disasters in China from 2006 to 2017. The results showed that the most serious year affected by floods and waterlogging was 2010. However, the relationship between rainfall and flood disaster losses was not significant, which may be because the occurrence of flood disasters is caused by many factors. The spatial distribution showed that the eastern and southern parts of China suffered greater losses from the flood and waterlogging disasters because these areas are more vulnerable to floods and waterlogging disasters under the impact of both monsoons and typhoons. This study hopes to provide some reference for flood disaster control and disaster mitigation in the future.

Flood is a natural event caused by the overflowing of water out of the river channel because the volume of water exceeds the capacity of the available river channels. An area of overflow from a river is referred to as a flood-plain area. Kampung KB which is located in Pucang sawit Village, Jebres, Surakarta, is located along the side of the Bengawan Solo river, making this location prone to the impact of the overflowing of the Bengawan Solo river in this extreme weather. Therefore, disaster mitigation activities in the form of flood disaster management are needed for the people of that area. The prevalence of heavy rain in Indonesia is increasing, resulting in an increased risk of flooding. The result of this problem is the lack of public knowledge regarding how to deal with flood disasters that may arise. The solution is with disaster training in the form of activating the role of youth family development in the KB village. The target output expected from this health education is the increasing number of people who know the procedures for handling floods in disaster locations, as well as youth being able to play an active role in disaster activities. Information on the Activation of Action and the Role of Youth in Flood Disaster Management in Kampung KB Pucangsawit, Surakarta was held on the 21st October 2020, followed by five students, two accompanying lecturers and audiences. During the counseling, a demonstration of first aid was carried out in the case of floods and questions and answers to clarify the understanding of the residents. After counseling about first aid to flood victims, we also did scene designs or actions in the field and practiced what had been taught directly on the banks of the Bengawan Solo river.

There are five large rivers which pass through and empties into Manado City, one of them is the Sario River. In 2014, the settlements around the Sario watershed area was severely damaged due to flash floods, in fact, there was one neighborhood in Kelurahan Ranotana Weru where almost all houses were washed away and were lost due to the flood. In addition, there are also fatalities and other material losses. Flood disasters in the Sario watershed area occur periodically every year, but the most severe damage was in 2014, it was even designated as a national disaster because it struck almost the entire city of Manado. Therefore, a study was conducted to obtain the concept of flood disaster mitigation at this location which is expected to prevent disaster, reduce risk and minimize the impact that will occur. This concept is divided into structural and non-structural mitigation. Structural mitigation includes efforts to minimize disasters through the construction of various physical infrastructure and technological approaches, such as the construction of disasters-resistant buildings, the construction of canals for flood prevention, evacuation routes, green open spaces, etc. Non-structural mitigation includes making policies or rules such as spatial planning or community capacity building. This research found that the boundary area of ​​the river needs to be rearranged, the river embankment and drainage channel are repaired, the high density of the building needs to be reduced to provide sufficient open spaces, the need to build disaster evacuation routes and improved building conditions.

Disaster risk is a function of hazard and vulnerability. Risk is defined as the expected losses, including lives, personal injuries, property damages, and economic disruptions, due to a particular hazard for a given area and time period. Risk assessment is one of the key elements of a natural disaster management strategy as it allows for better disaster mitigation and preparation. It provides input for informed decision making, and increases risk awareness among decision makers and other stakeholders. Virtual globes such as Google Earth can be used as a visualization tool. Proper spatiotemporal graphical representations of the concerned risk significantly reduces the amount of effort to visualize the impact of the risk and improves the efficiency of the decision-making process to mitigate the impact of the risk. The spatiotemporal visualization of tsunami waves for disaster management process is an attractive topic in geosciences to assist investigation of areas at tsunami risk. In this paper, a method for coupling virtual globes with tsunami wave arrival time models is presented. In this process we have shown 2D+Time of tsunami waves for propagation and inundation of tsunami waves, both coastal line deformation, and the flooded areas. In addition, the worst case scenario of tsunami on Chabahar port derived from tsunami modelling is also presented using KML on google earth.

Around 40.9 million Indonesians live in landslide prone areas. In the Ponorogo regency of the East Java province, there are 9 sub-districts that have been designated as landslide prone areas with the mild to severe category. One of the villages has experienced landslides in 2017, Banaran village of Pulung district, which 28 villagers became victim and 23 houses buried. Children are virtually one of the most vulnerable groups to being affected by disasters. The vulnerability of children to disasters is triggered by a limited risk understanding which results in a lack of preparedness in facing disasters. Achieving school preparedness is very important considering that Indonesia is a country with a high risk of disasters. It is very important to raise awareness of disasters as early as possible to minimize the impact of disaster risks. The preparedness of the school component is still below expectations, the regulations formed by providing education and simulations to students about disaster response and the impact of disasters are able to reduce disaster risk considering that children are one of the vulnerable groups. We counseled students of SDN Bekiring in Ponorogo to instill their understanding about landslide disaster mitigation. Sekitar 40,9 juta penduduk Indonesia tinggal di daerah rawan longsor. Di Kabupaten Ponorogo Provinsi Jawa Timur, terdapat 9 kecamatan yang telah ditetapkan sebagai daerah rawan longsor dengan kategori ringan sampai berat. Salah satu desa yang pernah mengalami longsor pada tahun 2017 adalah Desa Banaran Kecamatan Pulung yang mengakibatkan 28 warga menjadi korban dan 23 rumah tertimbun. Anak-anak sebenarnya merupakan salah satu kelompok yang paling rentan terkena bencana. Kerentanan anak terhadap bencana dipicu oleh pemahaman risiko yang terbatas yang berakibat pada kurangnya kesiapsiagaan dalam menghadapi bencana. Mewujudkan kesiapsiagaan sekolah menjadi sangat penting mengingat Indonesia merupakan negara dengan risiko bencana yang tinggi. Sangat penting untuk meningkatkan kesadaran bencana sedini mungkin untuk meminimalkan dampak risiko bencana. Kesiapsiagaan komponen sekolah masih dibawah ekspektasi, regulasi yang dibentuk dengan memberikan edukasi dan simulasi kepada siswa tentang tanggap bencana dan dampak bencana mampu mengurangi risiko bencana mengingat anak merupakan salah satu kelompok rentan. Kami mendampingi siswa SDN Bekiring di Ponorogo untuk menanamkan pemahaman tentang mitigasi bencana longsor.

Abstract According to information of areas at high risk of drought provided by Central Java disaster risk assessment in 2016 - 2020, Klaten Regency is in the top ten at high risk of drought in Central Java. Drought is an annual disaster in this region, which usually occurs during the dry season. The impact of the drought has caused some areas to experience a lack of clean water. For the purpose of disaster mitigation in anticipating and minimizing drought disasters losses, it is necessary to analyze the level of drought with a decision-making system by comparing two methods, namely the AHP with TOPSIS. Both methods are decision-making methods that are composed of various criteria to obtain an alternative sequence of choices. Both the AHP and TOPSIS methods produces weight values and a positive ideal solution value, respectively. These are used as input data in the mapping of drought vulnerability analysis with Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The results of the analysis are visualized with a map that shows the level of drought vulnerability. AHP and TOPSIS method decision making generates the order of the drought classes in predicting the distribution of areas experiencing drought. To validate the model, the authors compare the results of the analysis of drought vulnerability of the two methods with drought data from BPBD (Local Agency for Disaster Prevention) and DPUPR (Public Works and Public Housing Department). The results show that AHP provides better results than TOPSIS based on results validation with BPBD and DPUPR data. By comparing the two models with BPBD data, the results show that the percentage of AHP suitability is higher than TOPSIS at 47,619% and 19,048% respectively.

The impact of climate change caused by global warming is currently one of the trending topics in various media and it is an extremely serious threat to human security. Forest fires, floods, landslides and changes in lifestyles to survive natural disasters are the very significant contributing factors to poverty rates in various parts of the world. The London School of Economics and Political Science conducted a study of 141 countries affected by disasters in the 1981-2002 period and found a close link between natural disasters and women's socioeconomic status. Data from the National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) states that women have 14 times of risk for becoming victims of disasters compared to adult men. Women become the most victimized because women prioritize children and their families rather than saving themselves. Although women bear more risks to climate change, women can also have the principal opportunity and role in implementing climate change mitigation adaptation, namely by making women actors in disaster mitigation and drivers of change in parallel to their strong responsibilities to their families. By providing adequate knowledge for women about adaptation and mitigation of disasters, the women can turn themselves to be the strategic activists in coping with disasters for communities living in disaster-prone areas.This study is a comparative discussion of three research results to obtain an overview and find solutions to women's problems from the consequences of climate change, which is a study by changing women from being the most victims of natural disasters to becoming the driving actor for families and communities in overcoming disaster and her ability to survive the post-disaster situation. The conclusion is the three levels of gender roles related to climate change to increase women's adaptive capacity. An adaptation strategy needs the form of 1. Increasing the role of women in the political arena. It is a crucial issue because women's rights can be protected by their presence and role, as well as women in guarding policies. 2. Increasing the role of women in the realm of education. Education is no less important than politics because education will provide a foundation for understanding and self-confidence, bargaining and personal branding for women so that their presence in society will be recognized and will no longer be discriminated. 3. Cultural reconstruction based on gender equality is very important because so far, the notion of patriarchy is still inherent in our culture. Many perspectives are cooptated on the statement that superior (men) are stronger then give rise women mythos that is said to be weak (women). In reality, the presence of women is still fundamental to the aspect of maintaining the economy and education for the continuation and the quality of the life in the society.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of flood disaster mitigation strategies in Nagari Taram, Limapuluh Kota Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. They were collecting data using interviews, observation, and documentation study. The research informants were several heads of fields, section heads in the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Fifty Cities Distr2ict. The results showed that the implementation of disaster mitigation by the local government had been carried out in the form of the normalization of Batang Sinamar, brojong development along the Batang Sinamar watershed. However, the mitigation that has been implemented has not succeeded in reducing the risk and impact of flooding on the community in Nagari Taram. This study argues that local governments need to pay attention to regional characteristics in implementing flood disaster mitigation before carrying out river normalization because the area's characteristics affect the carrying capacity and carrying capacity of the river.
