Local government plays an integral part in the mechanism of Disaster Management in Mizoram. The local bodies are the direct representatives of the local community and the local community places their full trust in them. Post disaster measures such as mock drills, training of search and rescue teams, physical and economic relief and rehabilitation are not something new to us, yet the aspect of disaster mitigation is something which has not bred familiarity among the Mizos. The need for sensitization of the public on the importance of Disaster Mitigation is a necessity. The saying ‘Earthquakes do not kill people; buildings do’ is pertinent in urban areas. Urban areas are congested and more prone to disasters. High rise buildings, squatter settlements due to high densities and low availability of land has endangered not just the lives of the public but has also caused a massive disturbance of the ecological system. The paper covers certain Acts and Regulations of the Aizawl Municipal Corporation dealing with structural mitigation and the detection of illegal construction, unsafe buildings, and encroachments on municipal and public properties. At the local level, the councillors are involved in making, unmaking and carrying out these rules and regulations, with direct bearing on the local people. The paper also gives an account of the need of reimplementation to generate awareness, knowledge and education on Disaster Management to the people of Mizoram.

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.

However, because disaster events can occur at any time with different locations, there are difficulties for regional leaders and their staff to measure and evaluate the quality and performance of the disaster management programs that they have carried out, especially in situations of emergency response. The large flood of Upper Citarum has damaged buildings and disrupted infrastructure functions due to 12,654 buildings submerged and damage such as potholes and foundation damage many  local roads and the closure of a number of schools and other social buildings.

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.
