Accidents and disasters can potentially affect most elementary school students. Accordingly, comprehensive school safety is important to ensure children's safety. This study aimed to identify the key indicators of the minimum standards for Disaster Preparedness and Safety School programs as a conceptual framework of comprehensive school safety in Indonesian elementary schools. This exploratory study was conducted with nine key informants using a qualitative descriptive approach. The data from semi-structured interviews with experts in disaster risk reduction were analyzed using content analysis. This study identified 23 key indicators, namely: commitment, policy and regulation, planning, budgeting, risk assessment, teamwork, coordination, standard operating procedure, technical guideline, monitoring and evaluation, resource mobilization, infrastructures, information system, assembly points, safe zones, sister schools, curriculum integration, integration to learning activities, simulation training programs, trained teachers, dissemination of information, student cadres, and safety competition. There were nine indicators identified as school disaster management pillars, five indicators for safe school facilities, and nine indicators for risk reduction education.

Indonesia is at high risk of disasters. Therefore, nursing is expected to play a role in disaster risk reductions in communities. This study aimed to implement the Disaster Preparedness Training Integration Model based on Public Health Nursing (ILATGANA-PHN) to increase the Capacity of community in natural disaster-prone areas by assessing the preparedness level of families and communities in disaster-prone areas. The research method was developed in two stages, including the model preparation stage and the model implementation stage. This research was in the 2nd stage, namely the model impelementation stage. The research design, at the model implementation stage, used the one-sample pre-post test without control group design. The respondents were assessed before and after the ILATGANA-PHN training intervention. The sample size was calculated using the sample size calculation formula for the experimental research design without controls. The samples of the study were 78 people. The result of the research described the ILATGANA-PHN training concepts, including the instrument, curriculum, process, module, and maintenance patterns for the training process. The intervention had a significant effect on increasing the independent preparedness of the people in Kendeng Community, Sugih Mukti Village (ƿ 0.000 ≤ 0.005) in terms of four preparedness parameters, namely knowledge and attitudes about disasters (KA), disaster preparedness plans (PE), disaster warnings (WS), and resource mobilization community (RMC). Nurses have the opportunity to take responsibilities for empowering the community capacity in the disaster area through the implementation of ILATGANA-PHN training. The integrated training model for disaster preparedness based on Public Health Nursing (ILATGANA-PHN) is effective in increasing the community capacity, especially in disaster managements, in disaster-prone areas.

Background: Indonesia is located within the Asia-Pacific Ring of Fire, so natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, and landslides are common. Preparedness is essential to prevent many casualties due to various disasters., Problem: The Aceh, Indonesia earthquake and tsunami in 2004 was one of the most devastating disasters since the 1990s. Some of the victims were children. This is because there was no pattern of preparedness in dealing with disasters when the incident took place; even the word tsunami was not familiar in Indonesia at that time. Thus, the preparation of a disaster preparedness and safety curriculum began to be implemented in Indonesia after the Aceh earthquake and tsunami., Conclusion: The disaster preparedness and safety curriculum in early childhood education is developed in accordance with the potential and characteristics of the school area. Basic disaster material provided concepts, characteristics and threats, maps, ways of overcoming, and disaster preparedness and security. Facilities and infrastructure supporting disaster preparedness learning used disaster puzzles, disaster posters, songs about disasters, and prayers asking God for help to be protected from disasters.

Indonesia is a country that is classified as prone to disasters because of its territory that has a lot of tectonic activity and is located between the ring of fire. Given the urgency of improving people's preparedness for disasters, studies are needed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors associated with disasters. One of which is disaster preparedness, that is influenced by public awareness of disasters. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between current awareness level of the community towards disaster and Community preparedness for disaster preparedness efforts in Indonesia. The design of this study was cross-sectional. Data were collected by a self-administered online survey. The study respondents were community that are accessible and were willing to fill out questionnaires voluntarily. The research was conducted in March-October 2021 with the nation as the research location. The size of the sample was 400 respondents obtained from the calculation of estimation in finite population. Respondents with lower current awareness level of the community towards disaster had higher risk 1.49 times to have lower community preparedness for disaster preparedness efforts compared to respondents with higher community preparedness for disaster preparedness efforts (PR=1.49, 95%CI=1.25‑1.76, P<0.001). Increasing public awareness about disaster preparedness is very important. The government can work with non-governmental organizations and community leaders to provide understanding and training to the community to deal with disasters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The earthquake and tsunami disasters in Aceh Province, Indonesia led to several injuries, deaths, unfound bodies, and high property losses on 26 December 2004. This hazardous period has reportedly become a valuable case for Syiah Kuala University, where various solutions are being considered for eradicating subsequent occurrences. Therefore, this study aims to determine the implementation patterns of the disaster curriculum developed and applied at Syiah Kuala University, to achieve a DPC (Disaster Preparedness Campus) reputation and enhance DP (Disaster Preparedness) among community members, especially students. A qualitative verification method outlined as a description was used, due to being an inductive approach to the entire experimental process. Data collection was also carried out through observation and literature review, as well as several interviews with the following, (1) The head of the technical implementation unit general course of Syiah Kuala University, (2) The coordinator and lecturer of disaster and environmental knowledge course, and (3) The students of Syiah Kuala University studying the course. After this process, a Delphi method was used to analyze the data obtained, with the outcomes confirmed by a competent expert. Based on the results, three important steps were found to improve disaster preparedness among the people of Aceh and Syiah Kuala University students, namely (1) The establishment of the Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Research Center in 2006, (2) The establishment of the Master Program Study of Disaster Science in the university's Postgraduate Program in 2010, and (3) Development of the general course of disaster knowledge and environment in 2016, which was a compulsory requirement for all students from various faculties, departments, and programs. This indicated that Syiah Kuala University was the first campus to mandate a disaster science course in Indonesia. These results are expected to improve disaster preparedness for students, with Syiah Kuala University becoming a DPC (Disaster Preparedness Campus) in Indonesia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Natural disasters are catastrophic events with geological, and hydrological origins such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, landslides that can cause fatalities, property damage and social environmental disruption. The threat of geological disasters like tsunami and earthquakes as well as the threat of hydrometeorology, such as floods, landslides, hurricanes, and fires normally occur in Indonesia. Nurses have a role to play in educating the public and engaging in the crisis. This research aims to determine the relationship between nurses' self-efficacy and disaster preparedness management competency. Method: This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of nurses who served in the Emergency Room at three disaster referral hospitals in Padang. According to the inclusion criteria, nurses who participated in this study were selected by the purposive sampling method as 1st level disaster nurses, as many as 60 nurses. The data collection was carried out from August to October 2020. Results: This research shows that there was a significant relationship between nurses' self-efficacy and disaster preparedness management with a p-value of 0.0001 and a strong relationship with a value of r = 0.673. There was a relationship between disaster management competencies and disaster preparedness management with a p-value of 0.0001, the strength of the relationship was moderate with a value of r = 0.473. Conclusion: The nurse is one of the resources responsible for disaster preparedness management in the community. Educating the nurses about disaster preparedness management increases the nurses' readiness. Nurses can take action in managing the disaster response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INTRODUCTION: The increasing incidence of natural and non-natural disasters has become a new challenge for nurses in the emergency department (ED). The efficiency of health services provided to the community is needed to optimize disaster preparedness management by nurses in ED. This study aimed to assess the level of disaster preparedness assessment among emergency nurses in Padang of Indonesia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study design was conducted in three emergency departments: a teaching hospital, a public hospital, and a referral hospital in Padang of Indonesia. Fifty nurses in ED were selected using a purposive sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure the sociodemographic of nurses. Meanwhile, the Emergency Preparedness Information Questionnaire (EPIQ) was used to measure emergency nurses' disaster preparedness assessment. Data were analyzed using independent T-test and One-way ANOVA. RESULTS: The finding of this study indicated there were no differences in the level of assessment preparedness for disaster among nurses by nursing education. However, there were differences in the level of assessment preparedness for disaster among nurses by places of work, especially sub-dimension familiarity with isolation, quarantine, and decontamination (p = 0.045), psychological issues (p = 0.029), and communication and connectivity (p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS: Familiarity is associated with isolation, quarantine, decontamination, psychological issues, and communication and connectivity among nurses in ED. Therefore, the hospital can utilize the planning and disaster-based programs services used as an instrument to adjust for potential disasters in the hospital region. Furthermore, nurses' self-efficacy can increase psychological issues to optimize disaster knowledge and skill. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Indonesia frequently experiences natural disasters, underscoring the importance of nursing competencies in disaster preparedness. Nevertheless, especially among general nurses, the factors shaping these competencies are not well understood. Purpose: This study aimed to explore Indonesian nurses' perceptions of disaster preparedness competencies and compare these perceptions across distinct characteristics. Methods: Adopting a cross-sectional design, 230 nurses from all wards of a public hospital in Jakarta Province were selected via quota sampling. The Nurses' Perceptions of Disaster Core Competencies Scale (NPDCC) questionnaire was utilized to assess nurses' perceptions of competencies across five domains. The study employed Chi-square, Fisher's exact, and Likelihood ratio tests, followed by backward (likelihood ratio) multiple logistic regression, to analyze the relationship between nurses' characteristics and their perception of disaster preparedness competencies. Results: Results indicated that 51.7% of nurses perceived their disaster competencies as high, with an average score of 175.84(25.017). Further analysis revealed that nurses' perceptions of these competencies were influenced by education (p=0.002), disaster simulation experience (p=0.036), and awareness of hospital disaster plans (p=0.012), with Nagelkerke's R2=0.140. Nurses with a diploma qualification were 2.569 times more likely to perceive their skills as lower. Lack of simulation experience and unawareness of the plan further diminished perceived competencies, with ORs of 2.050 and 5.420, respectively. Conclusion: While education, disaster simulation experience, and plan awareness are crucial for nurses' perceptions of disaster competencies, enhancing other supportive factors is also vital. This study recommends that hospitals increase educational opportunities, emphasizing regular disaster simulations and granting better access to disaster plans, to bolster nurses' disaster preparedness competencies.

Academic libraries are one of the vital institutions that collect and manage the intellectual and cultural output of human beings, both in print and digital forms. Along with the growth of digital collections, the threats to or vulnerability of those collections are also increasing. This paper aims to describe the digital disaster preparedness measures implemented by respondent academic libraries in Indonesia that participated in the study. The study was conducted in Jakarta, Indonesia. The finding shows that even though libraries have taken steps to protect their digital data and collections, most of the libraries that participated in this study do not have a written digital disaster preparedness policy and had never conducted a risk analysis of the potential for digital disasters in their institutions. This research recommends that the libraries need to do a risk assessment first to prevent and manage any potential disaster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Disaster preparedness activities are important for libraries, as they collect and provide access to information and knowledge of human intellectual ideas and work. This study aims to identify potential disasters that may be experienced by academic libraries in Indonesia as well as their disaster preparedness activities. A quantitative approach was used to survey 85 academic library representatives who attended an academic librarian forum in Jakarta, Indonesia. The results identified the many types of natural and manmade disasters that have already and continue to threaten collections and services of respondent libraries. In addition to earthquakes and floods, threats include risks from human actions such as theft and vandalism, as well as problems arising from unstable electrical power supplies, and hardware and software malfunctions. This study also found that the majority of libraries participating in the study do not have a disaster preparedness plan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Health education programs can enhance self-efficacy and disaster preparedness. However, research incorporating the Health Belief Model (HBM) in education for infectious disasters is lacking. Aims: Examine the effectiveness of an HBM-based education program on self-reported self-efficacy and self-reported preparedness for infectious disasters in rural populations. Methods: In total, 109 eligible participants were allocated to two groups: participants who received HBM-based education (n = 55) or regular education (n = 54), presented at in-person meetings, with individual follow-up conducted on WhatsApp. Self-reported self-efficacy and preparedness for infectious disasters in both groups were measured at 4 and 8 weeks. Findings: Participants showed a significant interaction between groups and in time to increase in self-reported self-efficacy and self-reported preparedness to deal with infectious disasters. After 4 and 8 weeks, the groups had statistically significant differences (p ≤.001) in all outcome measures. Conclusion: HBM-based education was associated with increased self-reported self-efficacy and self-reported infectious disaster preparedness among the rural population. Follow-up by nurses is essential to implementing continuing health belief education programs to enhance rural populations' self-efficacy and infectious disaster preparedness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The number of natural disasters occurring worldwide has increased, including Indonesia, a country that continues to experience natural disasters of varying level of severity. Despite this evidence, limited information is available about nurses' disaster preparedness in Indonesia particularly in community settings. This study aims to identify the current level of disaster preparedness and learning needs for managing natural disasters as perceived by community health nurse (CHN) coordinators who are working in community health settings in South Sulawesi, Indonesia., Methods: This study used a descriptive study design. A self-administered survey, the Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tools (DPET ® ) was utilized to determine the current levels of disaster preparedness and management of the CHN coordinators. In addition, structured questions were used to identify learning needs. It was distributed to 254 CHN coordinators working in community health settings in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia., Results: In total 214 CHN coordinators completed the survey. There were around 6.5% respondents perceived their current disaster preparedness as weak; 84.6% moderate; and 8.9% rated their preparedness as strong. Around one-third of the participants considered frequent disaster drills as the best learning method to achieve effective disaster preparedness., Conclusion: Although overall disaster preparedness levels of the CHN coordinators in South Sulawesi province Indonesia were moderate, continuing disaster training that integrates CHN coordinators specific learning needs is still required to achieve effective disaster preparedness and management in community levels., (Copyright © 2017.

Disasters pose a substantial risk to people's health and well-being on a global scale. Community-based training on the initial response to traffic accidents has a considerable impact on reducing morbidity and mortality. There is no information on the most effective type of community-based training for such incidents or on how to integrate this into disaster response. The goal of this study was to characterize the content of first aid training and its effect on providing assistance during a disaster. The MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched. The terms "basic life support" OR "bleed control" OR "cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)" OR "first aid" AND "bystander" OR "layperson" OR "public" were used. We chose the general public as our sample. We included only publications that were available in English and published between January 2000 and September 2021 due to time and resource constraints. Four of the included studies were conducted in the United States and one in Indonesia. The sample size ranged from 24 to 465 members of the general public or bystanders. Community members gained increased knowledge and abilities regarding disaster preparedness strategies and procedures. The first aid training content focused on prehospital trauma care, including training on the ABCs, dealing with disasters in the community, calling for help, identifying the location of life-threatening bleeding and applying pressure, and packing a wound and applying a tourniquet for bleeding control. A training program emphasizing both first aid methods and inhibitors of behaviors to help in an emergency was found to be significantly associated with increased rates of assistance during emergency situations.

Cangkringan District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia categorized as a volcanic disaster-prone area. In the study area, every student possesses knowledge and attitude toward volcano disaster preparedness since they have a high risk when Merapi Volcano erupts. The objectives of this study were to 1) find out the disaster knowledge attitudes and student preparedness in dealing with volcanic disasters and (2) find out the relationship between knowledge and student preparedness. This study uses a quantitative method of correlation with a questionnaire based filed survey. Data were processed using SPSS 21 In order to achieve the study objectives 120 students were intensively interviewed in two senior high schools, namely Senior High School 1 Pakem and Senior High School 1 Cangkringan, which are located in close proximity to Merapi Volcano Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Province. The results showed that as many as 120 students, or 95% of the total research subjects, experienced a volcanic disaster. While the preparedness results obtained from the four main parameters, namely (1) Knowledge and attitudes, (2) Emergency response plans, (3) Disaster warning systems (4) Resource Mobilization, showed that 120 students were in the "Ready" category. The results of this study indicate a mismatch between aspects of knowledge and preparedness. The lack of transfer of disaster knowledge to students influences common disaster knowledge. It was found that, high preparedness has direct relationship with students' experiences, as they were directly affected by Merapi Volcanic disasters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, especially geological and hydrometeorological disasters, which can adversely impact human life. Disaster management is a development carried out and integrated by the Regional Government. This study aimed to analyse the natural disaster preparedness among volunteers in the Poncokusumo Area, Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The study used a cross-sectional design to determine the volunteers' level of disaster preparedness. The sampling technique used randomised (cluster) sampling with 165 respondents. The research used a questionnaire with a 5-category Guttman Scale for disaster preparedness index (DPI) with the parameters divided into knowledge and attitude (KA), emergency planning (EP), disaster warning system (DWS) and resource mobilisation capacity (RMC). The research was conducted in the working area of Poncokusumo Public Health Center, Maofng Regency. Data analysis in the study used a one-way ANOVA. The results showed that the volunteer level of preparedness for landslides was 67±1.33 (ready). There was a relationship between characteristics of disaster preparedness, namely, age (p-value = 0.033) and years of experience as a volunteer (p-value = 0.02). Volunteers can contribute to relief operations by providing necessities, such as food, water and shelter to affected individuals. They can also assist in clean-up activities, infrastructure repair, and community rebuilding initiatives. It is important to note that volunteers should be well-trained and coordinated with local authorities and emergency management agencies to ensure their safety and effectiveness in disaster preparedness and management situations.

Introduction: Professional nurses are expected to prepare in emergency and disaster situations. Therefore, we need to prepare pre-clinical nursing students for basic disaster management. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of disaster management basic training in improving student's preparedness to face disaster. Methods: It used experimental posttest only - nonequivalent control group design with purposive sampling and 50 students were divided into 2 groups: students who got basic disaster management training and groups of students who only received disaster materials in lectures. Results: The average index of disaster preparedness in the treatment group (χ = 5.4500) was higher than the control group (χ = 3.7554). The result was obtained ρ = 0,000 (α = 0.05) using independent t test. Conclusion: This showed that the method of basic disaster management training significantly affect the level of disaster preparedness in the students. Therefore, the method can be applied for implementation of curriculum 2018 in disaster nursing lecture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Disasters are events that threaten and disrupt people's lives and livelihoods due to natural and/or non-natural factors as well as human factors that cause human casualties, environmental damage, property losses, and psychological. The implementation of disaster preparedness has not been carried out comprehensively and continuously throughout Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of landslide preparedness education interventions in increasing the landslide preparedness capacity of households in the Sukabumi Regency. The minimum sample was 118 for each intervention and control group. Random sampling was used for sampling technique. Data analysis was done using an independent t-test. The results of the study mean that the difference in knowledge scores showed a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group (F = 23.41, p-value = 0.000). In addition, the average difference in household preparedness scores for landslides showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups (F = 190.08, p-value = 0.000). After the intervention, the intervention group's household disaster preparedness improved significantly. Meanwhile, no significant increase was observed in the control group's household disaster preparedness score after the intervention. Household disaster preparedness training may have an impact on the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of individuals and families. Trainings such as online and simulation using live or recorded demonstrations should be developed and evaluated for their effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Preparedness and preventive measures are needed to reduce the impact of disasters. Disaster preparedness training for nurses has a long history. However, the effectiveness of disaster preparedness training for nursing students has been limited, to some extent, since they have been based on self-evaluation., Objective: The study attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of a disaster preparedness training program followed by a disaster drill designed for nursing students., Participants: Participants were undergraduate students from Universitas Gadjah Mada and diploma students from four randomly chosen nursing colleges located in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. 309 students participated in the training program whereas 225 students participated in the disaster drill., Methods: The present study conducted in-class training followed by a disaster drill and evaluated using 3 components: pre-test and post-test evaluation of knowledge (score range: 0-20), observation of skills during disaster drill (5-point Likert scale), and a structured one-to-one interview of participants' responses to the training and drill process., Results: Pre-test and post-test evaluation scores showed significant improvement (P<0.01, paired t-test) for both university and diploma students. Almost all observation items during the disaster drill were above 4.0 (on 5-point Likert scale). Interview results showed that most participants responded positively., Conclusions: The present study completely evaluated the effectiveness of a disaster preparedness training and disaster drill: The training and drill improved the knowledge and ability of disaster preparedness for both undergraduate and diploma students., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Indonesia is an area with three different volcanic arcs. Almost every year, there are disasters in Indonesia, particularly tsunamis. On the other side, Indonesia has SDGs 2030 focused on disaster management or risk reduction. Based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analysis, this study will look at the part that SDGs education plays in disaster readiness. To attain the research orientation, the researchers developed a tsunami education program and assessed its validity and reliability to find a suitable model. The research approach included a cross-sectional survey to gather quantitative data on the students' replies. The data are valid and expected based on the normal tests. Two of the five indicators from the model influence analysis have been verified, making the model just partially acceptable. However, it is known that only a small number of factors have an impact on other variables based on total effect, direct effect, and indirect effect analyses. Five variables were identified as not significant in the final analysis. Therefore, not all of the model's hypothetical variables can be accepted entirely. The scope of research can be expanded in the future by using more focused variables, a larger sample size, and more respondents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: During disasters and complex emergencies, environmental conditions can adversely affect the performance of point-of-care (POC) testing. Knowledge of these conditions can help device developers and operators understand the significance of temperature and humidity limits necessary for use of POC devices. First responders will benefit from improved performance for on-site decision making., Objective: To create dynamic temperature and humidity profiles that can be used to assess the environmental robustness of POC devices, reagents, and other resources (eg, drugs), and thereby, to improve preparedness., Methods: Surface temperature and humidity data from the National Climatic Data Center (Asheville, North Carolina USA) was obtained, median hourly temperature and humidity were calculated, and then mathematically stretched profiles were created to include extreme highs and lows. Profiles were created for: (1) Banda Aceh, Indonesia at the time of the 2004 Tsunami; (2) New Orleans, Louisiana USA just before and after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in 2005; (3) Springfield, Massachusetts USA for an ambulance call during the month of January 2009; (4) Port-au-Prince, Haiti following the 2010 earthquake; (5) Sendai, Japan for the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami with comparison to the colder month of January 2011; (6) New York, New York USA after Hurricane Sandy made landfall in 2012; and (7) a 24-hour rescue from Hawaii USA to the Marshall Islands. Profiles were validated by randomly selecting 10 days and determining if (1) temperature and humidity points fell inside and (2) daily variations were encompassed. Mean kinetic temperatures (MKT) were also assessed for each profile., Results: Profiles accurately modeled conditions during emergency and disaster events and enclosed 100% of maximum and minimum temperature and humidity points. Daily variations also were represented well with 88.6% (62/70) of temperature readings and 71.1% (54/70) of relative humidity readings falling within diurnal patterns. Days not represented well primarily had continuously high humidity. Mean kinetic temperature was useful for severity ranking., Conclusions: Simulating temperature and humidity conditions clearly reveals operational challenges encountered during disasters and emergencies. Understanding of environmental stresses and MKT leads to insights regarding operational robustness necessary for safe and accurate use of POC devices and reagents. Rescue personnel should understand these principles before performing POC testing in adverse environments.

The students are the group most vulnerable to disasters, especially children with disability. Teachers should have the skills to handle disasters when they occur. The low preparedness of School-Based Disaster Preparedness/Sekolah Siaga Bencana (SSB) teachers in disaster risk reduction can lead to increased vulnerability of teachers in dealing with disaster threats. This study was conducted to analyse the relationship of the role of the teachers in the implemented curriculum SSB in Vulnerability of school teachers with disability in Malang City. This research is a quantitative study, using correlative analytic observational design and cross sectional approach with a sample of 30 teachers taken from elementary schools and junior high schools with disability. The results of bivariate analysis using gamma correlation test obtained the results of knowledge factors (p = 0.005; r = 0.47) attitude (p = 0.000; r = 0.75), means of infrastructure (p = 0.000; r = 0.98), and disaster information (p = 0.000; r = 0.59) for SSB teachers’ preparedness.

The 2008 Disaster Mitigation Preparedness (DMP) study took place in Aceh province, Indonesia. It sought to help develop radio programmes and messages to increase resilience to disasters. The role of radio was evaluated during and after the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster. The study team interviewed 984 tsunami survivors from nine sub-districts of Banda Aceh, and local nongovernmental organisations convened eight focus groups around the area of Aceh Besar. Six key informant interviews were held with government disaster management agencies. The DMP survey is the first of its kind to interview a representative random sample of Banda Aceh residents. It reveals the importance of community and social networks, during disaster situations, when essential communications are down. A disaster warning information system based on a multi-media approach needs to be developed. The wider community should be involved in the planning, education and training of Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar residents to facilitate appropriate personal and community survival strategies., (© 2011 The Author(s).

Introduction: The lack of planning and coordination by the mass gathering event organizers involving other stakeholders, especially from the health sector, caused mass casualty incidents which could not be managed in a timely manner and resulted in many victims. This was worsened by the fact that the nearest health facilities to the mass gathering event did not have a disaster management plan such as a hospital disaster preparedness plan which, if any, was not operational. No firm regulation forced, monitored, and evaluated the necessity of high-risk mass gathering events to have such a preparedness plan yet in Indonesia. Method: Using a case study qualitative research method by conducting media observations and listening to webinars on experiences with health workers involved in handling the social disaster of the Kanjuruhan tragedy. Supported by analysis of policy reviews and in-depth interviews with the involved stakeholders on the field. Results: This is ongoing research, the results have not been finalized. However, from the information that has been obtained so far, it can be concluded that there is no synergy between the plans prepared by the football match organizing committee, police, local government, and nearest referral health facilities. This was identified by the absence of a medical director at the referral health facility, the absence of in and out access for the medical team to the mass gathering event location, and the absence of crowd management at the site of the incident resulted in 720 injured and 135 of them dead. This made the incident the second worst football stampede incident in history. Conclusion: Specific mass gathering regulation specific to football matches is required as Indonesia has a risk of hooliganism in some areas. This will be mandatory for the organizing committee to comply with and involve relevant stakeholders, especially the local health sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The impact of disasters, whether natural or man-made, not only has human dimensions, but environmental ones as well. Environmental conditions may exacerbate the impact of a disaster, and vice versa, disasters tend to have an impact on the environment. Deforestation, forest management practices, or agriculture systems can worsen the negative environmental impacts of a storm or typhoon, leading to landslides, flooding, silting, and ground/surface water contamination. We have only now come to understand these cyclical causes and impacts and realize that taking care of our natural resources and managing them wisely not only assures that future generations will be able to live in sustainable ways, but also reduces the risks that natural and man-made hazards pose to people living today. Emphasizing and reinforcing the centrality of environmental concerns in disaster management has become a critical priority, requiring the sound management of natural resources as a tool to prevent disasters and lessen their impacts on people, their homes, and livelihoods. As the horrors of the Asian tsunami of December 2004 continue to be evaluated, and people in the region slowly attempt to build a semblance of normalcy, we have to look to the lessons learnt from the tsunami disaster as an opportunity to prepare ourselves better for future disasters. This article focuses on findings and lessons learnt on the environmental aspects of the tsunami, and its implications on disaster preparedness plans. This article essentially emphasizes the cyclical interrelations between environments and disasters, by studying the findings and assessments of the recent Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that struck on 26 December 2004. It specifically looks at four key affected countries--Maldives, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Thailand.

This Panel Session consisted of three country reports (Democratic People's Republic of Korea; Sri Lanka; and Timor-Leste) and the common issues identified during the Panel discussions relative to industrial accidents and conflicts in the Southeast Asia Region. Important issues identified included the needs for: (1) use of medical technology; (2) stockpiling of essential supplies; (3) human resource development; (4) surveillance systems for disease detection; (5) coordination; and (6) emergency funding.

As part of a wider Disaster Preparedness project, initiated by Tearfund UK, and conducted by H-C-R, Health Communication Research, an Australian NGO; a crisis communication evaluation was carried out in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, the capital of Aceh province, from October to November of 2009. Local NGO volunteers interviewed 15 key people from various governmental agencies; help organisations and village leaders in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. This presentation reviews the results of the key interviews. The interviewees were asked 10 questions to determine their opinions of what the residents of Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar have learnt about disaster preparedness in the past two years and what they still need to learn. The decision makers and leaders also evaluated the use of various media in contributing to disaster preparedness training. The government and NGO representatives held more positive views of the effectiveness of disaster management and disaster reduction improvement than did village leaders. The government has made solid contributions to disaster preparedness in organising the simulations and the BMKG (Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika, a system which is responsible for meteorology, climate and geophysics including the tsunami warning) system in cooperation with the media and they have made additional contributions by creating dialogue concerning the overall issue of disasters and what to do during disasters. At the same time, village leaders believe the government has not done enough to keep the people informed in all circumstances, for example in a situation when there was an earthquake but no tsunami followed. Village leaders expect more community (kampong) level disaster training, and printed materials and lectures on disaster preparedness given in local offices and mosques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examined discourses related to an Indonesian soccer stadium stampede on 1st October 2022 using comments posted on Twitter. We conducted a lexicon-based sentiment analysis to identify the sentiments and emotions expressed in tweets and performed structural topic modeling to identify latent themes in the discourse. The majority of tweets (87.8%) expressed negative sentiments, while 8.2% and 4.0% of tweets expressed positive and neutral sentiments, respectively. The most common emotion expressed was fear (29.3%), followed by sadness and anger. Of the 19 themes identified, “Deaths and mortality” was the most prominent (15.1%), followed by “family impact”. The negative stampede discourse was related to public concerns such as “vigil” and “calls for bans and suspension,” while positive discourse focused more on the impact of the stampede. Public health institutions can leverage the volume and rapidity of social media to improve disaster prevention strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Indonesia routinely experiences disasters in various regions every year. To see that disaster management is currently disaster risk reduction oriented, individuals need to have a future time perspective to anticipate the potential impacts of disasters that will occur. In addition, as we know, community resilience in disaster management policies and practices is currently receiving greater attention. With the quantitative method and multiple linear regression test, this study tries to determine the effect of future time perspective and community resilience on disaster risk reduction in disaster-prone communities. The 57 subjects of this study were 20–45 year-old men and women who live in disaster-prone environments. The subjects were asked to fill out the Future Time Perspective Scale, Communities Advancing Resilience Toolkit, and General Disaster Preparedness Belief Scale. The three scales were disseminated via social media, where anyone could fill them in as long as they met the subject’s criteria of the research. The results of this study indicate that there is an influence of the future time perspective on disaster risk reduction, however, there is no effect of community resilience on disaster risk reduction.

The Bahorok River basin has a high flash-flood hazard index. This is shown by loss of lives and damage of homes due to floods in recent years, however, no research examined community preparedness on the hazard of flash-flood. This research aimed to assess the effect of disaster experience and flood-risk perception on disaster preparedness of the people of Bukit Lawang Plantation Village. A cross-sectional survey design was used to determine the relationship between disaster experience, risk perception and preparedness as the independent and dependent variables, respectively. The results showed that disaster experience and risk perception positively and significantly affect the community preparedness. Disaster risk reduction programs in the region only focus on emergency response, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. Furthermore, increasing public awareness and preparedness has not been prioritized in reducing flood risk. This is an essential aspect for consideration because mountainous areas are often marginalized and lack access to disaster risk reduction programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to explore the relationships between public and private sectors in tourism disaster management and assess the criteria for the realisation of public and private collaborations in tourism disaster management in terms of their priorities. This research, conducted in two regions in Indonesia, employed in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) survey participated by representatives of relevant government agencies and tourism industry associations. Findings show that each stakeholder plays bigger roles compared to others in the different phase of tourism disaster management. The study also identifies six possible criteria for public-private collaborations in tourism disaster management, namely the formation of special organisation for crisis management, certification for disaster preparedness, the availability of guidelines for disaster management, regulation for critical facilities in disaster management, tourism planning considering disaster risk awareness and tourism industry associations' enhanced role in improving disaster risk awareness. Through AHP surveys involving experts, it is found that there is a different level of disaster preparedness between regions and different priorities chosen by their stakeholders. Higher level of disaster preparedness and a more practical implementation of disaster management in Bali is likely due to the influence of international market demand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aceh is one of the provinces in Indonesia with a high earthquake risk index. The high risk of earthquakes requires educational institutions to play an important role in increasing disaster preparedness among students. This study aims to find out the effects of disaster education that have been integrated into the geography education curriculum and the role of earthquake risk perceptions in increasing earthquake preparedness. A survey of 210 geography education students was conducted at two universities in Aceh. By using multiple linear regression analysis, the findings reveal that geographic education and earthquake risk perception have a positive effect on increasing earthquake preparedness. However, the effect of these two variables simultaneously was only 24.1%. The low influence of the role of geography education in increasing earthquake preparedness is because disaster education taught so far only shapes conceptual knowledge. This study suggests the importance of combining earthquake preparedness knowledge and practice with future disaster education programs. This is imperative because turning knowledge into action is at the core of disaster education to improve preparedness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The subduction zone in southern Java Island causes areas in the south of Java Island prone to tsunami disasters. Bantul District is located in south of Java Island. Parangtritis Beach in Bantul District has the highest number of visitors than other beaches in D.I.Yogyakarta Province. As an area visited by many local and foreign tourists, preparedness needs to offer to local communities and tourists. In order to when a disaster occurs, there are not many casualties, both from local communities and tourists. This study uses parameters from LIPI-UNESCO/ISDR (2006). The result of this study is that the preparedness of the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Bantul Regency to face the tsunami disaster has an index value of 93.99 which means it is very ready. However, preparedness effort has not been carried out optimally and thoroughly. Preparedness is still a priority for the local community and has not prioritized tourists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To assess the knowledge and attitude regarding disaster and emergency preparedness among health care workers. Method: This cross-sectional descriptive analytical study was conducted in several public hospitals in West Java province, Indonesia. A self-administered questionnaire using modified Emergency Preparedness Information Questionnaire (EPIQ) was used for data collection. This questionnaire consists of 3 components, i.e. respondent sociodemographic data, basic knowledge on emergency preparedness, and attitude towards emergency and disaster preparedness. Results: Health care workers from 9 public hospitals participated in this study by completing the questionnaire. Female comprised the majority of the respondents (70%). More than a half of the total respondents (53.2%, n=115) showed good knowledge on emergency and disaster preparedness. However, slightly less than a half of the respondents (46.8%, n=101) still had poor knowledge. The respondents' attitude toward emergency preparedness was generally positive as most of them (75.9%, n=164) expressed a positive attitude although some still reflected negative attitudes towards it (24.1%, n=42). Conclusion: There is a need to improve the overall knowledge on emergency preparedness among the respondents in order to achieve good hospital disaster preparedness. The positive attitude reflects the acceptability of emergency preparedness among health care workers. Therefore, routine emergency planning and drills should be integrated into the emergency and disaster management program in hospital as investments to achieve good hospital emergency and disaster management.

In some places of the world, disasters occur virtually every day. If disasters are not properly foreseen, they may result in many fatalities. This research aims to examine the growth and pattern of literature on natural disaster education in schools. This analytical strategy combines quantitative and statistical methods to discover trends, assess quality, and track development. A total of 216 documents were chosen from the 403 documents collected. Following 2015, there was a considerable increase in four-year publications. Authors from the United States contributed to 45 papers with 37% citations and ranked first, followed by authors from Japan (31 documents; 15% citations) and Indonesia (31 documents) with rankings citations below the top 10. Most publications were published in the International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (12 docs; Q1 Scimago Journal Rank 1.1 (SJR 1.1)). The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines had the most citations (100; Q1 SJR 3.6) and was ranked first in its discipline. The existing core literature on school education on natural disasters demonstrates that this topic is developing rapidly, but with insufficient international research collaboration. Research cooperation in this area must be strengthened to better the global response to natural disaster mitigation, which should begin in schools worldwide. There is a need to widen the scope of study in this field to include natural disaster preparedness education in the school curriculum, assessments, learning media, disaster response education, and instructional designs. Finally, disaster education in schools must be addressed as soon as possible to contribute to disaster preparedness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to identify indicators of community preparedness for disasters and apply these indicators to a critical case study context, namely the local communities in two districts of Lombok Island of Indonesia, which were stricken by earthquakes in 2018 and 2019. Community preparedness indicators are identified through a systematic literature review (SLR) and in-depth interviews with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. These indicators are grouped into capability, coordination and networking, legal and institutional support, facilities and infrastructure, disaster management plan, and early warning system. Preparedness is then assessed using these indicators as a framework for conducting interviews and observations in the two districts. Results from the case study indicate that most villages are relatively prepared for disasters because they conduct regular meetings concerning disaster preparedness, participate in disaster simulations, and receive socialization/education from the government and humanitarian organizations, including the Indonesian Red Cross. Most villages also have disaster preparedness infrastructure in place, such as disaster risk maps, evacuation routes, and a standard operating procedure to follow in the event of a disaster. This preparedness was reflected in the involvement of communities in the early response to the 2019 earthquake. However, further enhancement is still needed to ensure that all disaster-prone villages have the required disaster preparedness infrastructure, and the communities are actively involved in disaster preparedness activities. This research contributes to better understanding disaster preparedness at the community level in a critical case study context. The results are valuable for governmental and non-governmental agencies to optimize the pre- and post-disaster planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

People with disabilities and their representative organisations are recognised by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction as key contributing stakeholders in disaster resilience-building at the community level. What might be the role and contribution of disabled people's organisations (DPOs) in realising the right of people with disabilities to be protected in disaster situations? This article reports findings from a research project utilising a multiple case-study research design to examine the implementation of three disability-inclusive disaster preparedness projects led by DPOs in Indonesia. Findings show that the DPOs successfully led disaster preparedness initiatives within their local communities and were instrumental in contributing to collective community-based disaster risk reduction efforts, despite structural barriers that constrained their efforts. The findings suggest pathways to more effectively advance disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction through DPO-led initiatives; giving due consideration to ensuring adequate DPO resources and capacities; and engagement with mainstream stakeholders.
