Cilacap Regency is one of the areas that have the highest level of natural disaster vulnerability in Central Java. Various types of disasters have the opportunity to occur and have an impact on the entire region. To anticipate the impact of these potential natural disasters, the district government has issued a contingency plan to reduce the risk of disasters. This study aims to describe how to reduce the risk of natural disasters through contingency planning. The study uses a qualitative approach with the case study method. Data and information obtained through focus group discussions (FGD), interviews, and documentation studies. The informants were determined purposively, coming from elements of the government, private sector, and a community of 25 people. The results of the study illustrate that the role of contingency planning is very important to reduce disaster risk. The contingency plan document clearly contains various guidelines and technical steps taken by stakeholders in anticipating natural disasters. The guidelines for the action plan are supported by techniques that can be easily learned so that the stages of the process of how to anticipate natural disasters can be carried out by anyone. The implementation of a natural disaster risk reduction contingency plan in the Cilacap Regency received support from the implementer, the environment, resources, and disposition.

The Impact

This paper is aimed at analysing the impacts of financial preparation and disaster experience on households’ disaster risk perception, including perceptions of likelihood and severity in Quang Binh Province of Vietnam, one of the areas strongly affected by natural disasters and climate change. With the data from direct surveying 308 households in Quang Binh province, the research methodology includes Cronbach’s Alpha, EFA and OLS regression models. The key findings are: First, disaster experience has positive impact on natural disaster risk perception. Second, financial preparation has negative impact on natural disaster risk perception. Third, the risk of natural disasters in Quang Binh Province are increasing and unpredictable due to rapid economic growth and urbanization. This fact requires the Government, provincial commitees, and stakeholders to go beyond traditional coping methods, implement more customized policies and specific actions to try to reduce the risks of natural disasters. Keywords: disaster risk, disaster risk perception, financial preparation, disaster experience.

Comprehensive Framework

The complex and multifaceted nature of health risks secondary to natural disasters will require innovative, holistic, and problem-oriented approaches to risk and disaster management. The Hyogo Framework for Action 2005–2015 (HFA), the goal of which is to strengthen the resilience of nations and communities to natural disasters, is the inspiration for much of the current knowledge, practice, implementation, experience, and the science for natural disaster risk reduction. Natural disaster risk reduction offers a comprehensive framework where stakeholders can take coherent and complementary actions through political, social, technological, economic, and humanitarian processes to build resilience. The aim of the recent Hyogo initiative is to globally increase resilience and reduce vulnerability. This chapter will describe the current state of knowledge of the health consequences of natural disasters, the implications of these consequences for policy, and conclude with recommendations for action.

In recent years, the frequent occurrence of extreme weather due to climate change has increased the possibility of potential danger across the world. Additionally, South Korea has been consistently exposed to disaster risk. Studies on the prediction of damage from natural disasters are critical for the government and local governments to formulate disaster recovery policies. However, the scope of risk analysis evaluation indicators currently utilized by the relevant organizations comprises limitations, as there are no consistent standards for indicator selection. From this viewpoint, this study selected 118 surrogate indicators, including indicators frequently used in previous studies, and conducted a survey with 52 experts in the disaster field to examine the possibility of use of these indicators. As a result of the expert survey, 37 indicators were analyzed as “very appropriate” and 54 indicators were analyzed as “appropriate” regarding their possibility of use. Finally, we suggested four natural disaster risk assessment methods, which can be used in policymaking by the government and local governments in the future.

The practice of Corporate Social Responsibility in Indonesia related to natural disaster has not been touched by the company, even though Indonesia is a country with big catastrophic category. This research tries to know the CSR commitment of Company in handling natural disaster. The research uses theory of CSR Implementation Model Pinkston and Carroll (1996) with research resource are head of companies of PT. Bank BNI, PT. Telkom, Regional Division of Central Java / DIY, PT. Pertamina, MOR Semarang and Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital Semarang. CSR implemented by BUMN is more on effort to perform social generosity in the form of providing basic needs for people affected by disaster, while Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital implements activities in the form of mass free medical for residents affected by tidal flood and annual flood around the hospital. Motives of BUMN such as PT. Pertamina, PT. Bank BNI and PT. Telkom, implement CSR activities are to obey the government's recommendation and obey legal aspects. CSR activities have not yet reached the conditions to empower affected communities to be self-sufficient in facing disaster situations.

The Impact

The threat of natural disasters in Indonesia can occur at any time and has caused suffering for humanity. The tourism industry also feels the impact and consequences of natural disasters. Tsunami on the coast of Banten at the end of 2018 has caused economic losses of up to hundreds of billions in the tourism sector. Mitigation of natural disasters, especially in the tourism industry, is still lacking the attention of the government. In the disaster management system, the state is the main actor who has full responsibility for dealing with the effects of natural disasters. The Government of Indonesia in 2005 ratified the 2005-2015 Hyogo Framework for Action as the government's guidelines in dealing with natural disasters, especially in the field of natural disaster mitigation. This study examines the implementation of HFA concerning natural disaster mitigation in the Special Economic Zone of Tanjung Lesung-Banten, and Cikadu Tourism Village Community. Socio-legal research is used as a research method and uses qualitative data analysis that is analytical descriptive and emphasizes primary data as the main data. This data was obtained by interview and observation. As for supporting primary data, library research is conducted. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the Government of Indonesia has implemented the HFA by making Law No. 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster Management, but in practice law enforcement has not been felt by Banten coastal communities other than that there is no habit or cultural awareness of disaster response in the community.

Abstract Indonesia is the country that has the most active volcanoes in the entire world. The Eurasian Plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Indo-Australian Plate are three active tectonic plates that cause collision zones to form these volcanoes. Indonesia is estimated to have 129 volcanoes, all of which are carefully monitored by the Centre for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation. This is done because several volcanoes in Indonesia continue to show activity. Moreover, it is estimated that more than five million people live in the "danger zone" of a volcano where they must be immediately evacuated if the mountain shows significant upward activity (Indonesia-Investment, 2019). However, efforts to reduce the risk of natural hazards remain largely uncoordinated in different types of hazards and do not necessarily focus on areas with the highest disaster risk. This paper uses a descriptive qualitative approach as the main writing approach and uses crisis management theory by Rosenthal, that crisis management involves efforts: (1) to prevent a crisis from occurring; (2) to prepare better protection against the impact of crisis agents; (3) to make effective responses to the actual crisis; and (4) to provide plans and resources for post-crisis recovery and rehabilitation. The results of this study are: (1) to accelerate forest recovery, the government can engage the community with security and welfare approach; (2) natural disaster management is the main responsibility of the government; (3) In crises due to natural disasters, form a team that is responsive to critical situations. This team was formed by involving government agencies, community leaders, and NGOs; and (4) to increase the government's capacity to reduce the impact of natural disasters, assessment of potential damage, the establishment of an early warning system, and the improvement of disaster-resistant capabilities are needed.
