<p>The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have recently partnered to establish the Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Natural Disaster Management (FG-AI4NDM). FG-AI4NDM is exploring the potential of AI-based algorithms to support data collection and handling, to improve modeling (i.e., reconstructions, forecasts, and projections) across spatiotemporal scales through extracting complex patterns (and gaining insights) from a growing volume of geospatial data, and to provide effective communication. To achieve these objectives, FG-AI4NDM is building an interdisciplinary, multi-stakeholder, and international community to explore specific natural disaster use cases. Special effort is made to support participation from low- and mid-income countries and those countries shown to be particularly impacted by these types of events. Here, we will explore: what is an ITU focus group, what are the objectives and planned deliverables of FG-AI4NDM, what progress has been made since its inception, and how members of the geoscience community can become involved.</p>

Natural Disaster Management

Natural disasters, including earthquakes, Tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions, have caused tremendous harm and continue to threaten millions of humans and various infrastructure capabilities each year. In their efforts to take countermeasures against the threats posed by future natural disasters, the United Nations formulated the “Hyogo Framework for Action”, which aims at assessing and reducing risk. This framework and a global review of disaster reduction initiatives of the United Nations acknowledge the need for information systems research contributions in addressing major challenges of natural disaster management. In this paper, the authors provide a review of the literature with regard to how information systems research has addressed risk assessment and reduction in natural disaster management. Based on the review the authors identify research gaps that are centered around the need for acquiring general knowledge on how to design IS artifacts for risk assessment and reduction. In order to close these gaps in further research, the authors develop a research agenda that follows the IS design science paradigm.

Introduction: Natural disasters is one of the real threats which cause the loss of life, property, and refugees. Background Problems: The role of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) in natural disaster management becomes an interesting thing to study when natural disasters occur in Indonesia. Novelty: This article reveals the analysis result of the implementation of TNI’s principles in disaster management, especially in the following regions: Palu, Sigi and Donggala (Pasigala), Central Sulawesi Province. Research Methods: The research was conducted using qualitative research methods. The collected data was analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. Finding/Results: Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the role of TNI’s leadership style was very prominent to fill the vacancies of Regional Leaders in certain areas experiencing disaster. The support of TNI personnel in natural disaster management cannot be separated from the implementation of 11 TNI leadership principles, which consist of: Takwa, Ing Ngarsa Sung Tulada, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, Tut Wuri Handayani, Waspada Purba Wisesa, Ambeg Parama Arta, Prasaja, Satya, Gemi Nastiti, Belaka, and Legawa. The application of these principles can be seen in emergency response situations, where TNI plays an important role, in which their instructions were conformed by the community. In disaster mitigations, they evacuated victims, rebuilt worship places, looked around for logistical sources for the community, were incharged for possible criminal actions, such as eradicated looting acts, arrested the perpetrators and handed them to the local Police. Thus, it can be said that the leadership of TNI has succeeded in handling natural disasters in Pasigala, Central Sulawesi. It can be then recommended that the Indonesian Government and stakeholders should improve the quality of training and education for leadership and disaster management by implementing the leadership principles of TNI, as well as synergizing with TNI in disaster management

Despite increased global interest in the impacts of natural disasters on tourism, less study executes exploring how tourism sensitivity is addressed at the destination level. Generating a link between tourism and natural disaster management is vital in places that rely heavily on tourism and are prone to natural hazards. Ranau, Sabah (Malaysia) is one of the disaster-prone tourists' destination area. Hence, this paper applies the case study of Ranau earthquake 2015 to explore tourism sensitivity towards natural disasters. A qualitative of in-depth interview is applied to acquire information needed from the Ranau tourism entrepreneurs and operators. To analyse the qualitative data, a thematic analysis is conducted. Overall findings show that tourism activity in Ranau are identified to be sensitive towards the 2015 earthquake with a significant percentage of sensitivity level on two elements. These elements are known as Source and Power. The Source element includes tourism products, size of business, development, and natural disasters management with a significant sensitivity compared to the Power element (social capital). This provides insight to the need of specific tourism system adaptation as response to the earthquake and considering the integration of natural disaster management into tourism development to enhance long term sustainability.

Natural Disaster Management

Natural disaster managements in Indonesia carried out by the government seemed centralized, slow and is not well prepared. Even the government seems to ignore the management of natural disasters that has long been entrenched in the pulse of local community knowledge systems. Considerations in decision-making mitigation of natural disasters is too scientific-positivistic and ignores the philosophical aspect of the work. This paper attempts to offer a perspective of natural disaster management with support of Indonesian local wisdom and Heidegger hermeneutics. Most of the ethnic groups in Indonesia have already had a set or system of knowledge in the management of natural disasters. This knowledge system exists since the long experience of Indonesian society in dealing with natural disasters. This system is then passed on and transformed from many generations through oral hystory. Some studies indicate that local knowledge systems on the management of natural disasters so far   are very effective in minimizing the number of dissaster victims. In addition, Martin Heidegger hermeneutics offeres a concept of natural disaster management with the starting point of the idea of being-in-the-world.The idea is one of the basic principles of hermeneutics-facticity Martin Heidegger who supposes that a real human living being has awareness of this universe. In the 'living earth', man does not necessarily accept the fate thrown into the earth, but he has the ability to exercise the creativity for survival. As a result of the awareness of the throwness into the universe, in turn, human beings have awareness that they have a relation to one another, empathy and sensitivity as human beings.

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.

<p>Kodim 0618/BS of Bandung City is a unit of Military District Command under the Kodam III/Siliwangi Command which oversees as many as 14 Koramil that are spread in the area of Bandung City. With 14 Koramil spread across the city of Bandung, Kodim 0618/BS has 347 personnel and stands by itself because it is not under the Korem and tasked with regional empowerment, defense and preparing all aspects of regional defense including having their own programs and handling in reducing the risk of natural disasters. This research is conducted to find out the role of Kodim 0618/BS in the Effort of Reducing Natural Disasters in Bandung, which has a high potential for natural disasters because it is located between the Lembang Fault and geographically is in the form of a basin which means it has a high risk of flood. This study employs qualitative method. The data was obtained through observation, interviews and library studies. Descriptive analytical techniques were employed in conjunction with data collection when researchers were in the research site – Bandung. The research finds that 1) The role of Kodim 0618/BS in Efforts of Reducing Natural Disasters is essential with Dandim being the deputy chairman in the Satlak of Disaster Mitigation and Reduction and 2) Bandung City uses the Fire Department and Natural Disaster Management as an organization responsible for Natural Disaster Management 3) There is a lack of Disaster Mitigation Experts, hence special training for personnel is needed</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Disaster Management, Natural Disaster, Main Duty of TNI</p>
