The eruption of Mount Sinabung in Karo district of North Sumatera has continued on and off since 2010. A contingency plan is needed to reduce the risk of disaster. The purpose of this research is to fi nd a disaster communication model in community-based disaster risk management through Sinabung Eruption Contingency Plan of Karo Regency, North Sumatera Province. This research applies the concept and models of community-based disaster management. The research objectives are to make a disaster risk management model based on the community as a contingency plan for Sinabung. A qualitative method is used by the researchers to fi nish this paper. This research is held in risk area of Mount Sinabung, Karo, Sumatera Selatan. The object of this research is the ability of government, non-government, and also society as actors of concept and models of community-based disaster management communication. The researchers analyze the program and the competency of the actor concept and the models of community-based disaster management communication. The result of this research is a disaster communication model in communitybased disaster risk management through Sinabung Eruption Contingency Plan.
Kelud Volcano is an active volcano in Indonesia. About 150 million meter cubic has erupted on 13 February 2013 at 22.30. People were successfully responded to the most significant eruption in history without any fatalities, by doing less than 2 hours evacuation, from 21.15 to 22.50. This research was conducted to show the success of the community in building the resilience process by applying a good system of community-based early warning. The study was conducted through documentary review and field assessment with participatory research methods, including mapping, transects, and historical studies. The result of research show that the community has four aspects of early warning system has been successfully fulfilled by communities. Those four aspects are (1) Knowledge of risk; (2) Monitoring and warning service; (3) Dissemination and communication; (4) Ability of the people to respond. Systematic data collection and risk assessment, with its pattern and tendency factors, ensured that disaster and vulnerability are well-known. Monitoring parameter to create accurate and timely pre-estimation has been ensured by disaster monitoring and early warning service. Communicating information and early warning ensured that the warning could be received by everyone that affected by disaster, risk, and its warning can be understood and useful. Establishing the people’s responsibility to ensure the response must be renewed, ability and local knowledge can be utilized, and people are ready to response warning. Simulation and training activities were implemented by the people within the disaster-prone area. Finally, the powerfulness of community preparedness can manage the tremendous level of a volcano eruption.
Mount Sinabung in Karo Regency of North Sumatera is still active. Training required for government and residents readiness of surrounding mountain to reduce disaster risk through the training of contingency plan model implementation. This study aims to find a model of communication disaster readiness through the Table Top Exercise or TTX. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method and data collection with interview, documentation, observation, and focus group discussion (FGD). FGD participants divided into eight sectoral planning small groups, that divided according to their respective fields: a subdivision of disaster and post-disaster management, SAR and evacuation, health and psychosocial, evacuation and temporary shelter, water and sanitation, transportation, distribution and logistics, security and order, searching, and subdivision of special cattle. The results of the study found that the implementation of disaster readiness communication model of Mount Sinabung eruption is optimal. This communication is what needs to be improved when the eruption occurs. The results of the study contributed as a policy for improvement for Contingency Planning Document as the Regulation of Head of Karo Regency that will be implemented at the end of 2018.
The Village Fund in Indonesia is one of the instruments for budgetary decentralization to accelerate development and community empowerment at the village level. Under the regulation of the Minister of Village and Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration No. 16, the year 2019, one of the priorities for the use of the village funds is for disaster management. In the implementation, however, asymmetric information and misperception towards the regulation allegedly caused the management of village funds not to be connected with disaster risk reduction programs. This study aims to identify priorities for allocating village funds related to disaster management programs. Furthermore, this study will also determine the factors that cause information asymmetry at each level of policymakers. This research was conducted in 7 villages located in three sub-districts, which were severely affected by the 2004 tsunami in Banda Aceh City. The results of this study show the asymmetry of perceptions exists among the policymakers from the city to the village levels. This asymmetry has led to disaster management programs not being a priority in the use of village funds. The absence of regulation in the city levels hinders village leaders to use of village funds for disaster management.
The objective of this research is to determine the level of tectonic activity based on morphometric and morphotectonic analysis in the selected case study area is located around the Lamongan Volcano Complex which covers the watershed sub-basin of the Lecari, Bondoyudo, Dilem, Jatiroto, Rondoningu, and Banyubiru Rivers. Administratively, the area is within the region of Lumajang, Jember, and Probolinggo Regencies, East Java Province, Indonesia. For this purpose, a set of parameters namely, drainage pattern, morphometry, morphotectonics, and geological structure were considered as an effective platform to clarify the existence of tectonic activity. The analyzed morphometric variables consisted of the dimensions of the sub-watershed area, stream segment azimuth, landform azimuth, stream length, drainage density (Dd), bifurcation ratio (Rb), and mountain-front sinuosity (Smf). As for the data analysis, this research used a quantitative descriptive approach. The results show that the Dd value ranged from 3.4 to 4.7 with Rb ranging from 1.0 to 9.2, and the Smf value ranges from 1.2 to 3.4, hence based on those values indicated that the study area has an ascendancy of tectonic activity. Since the Lamongan Volcano Complex is a volcanism-prone area, therefore, tectonic deformation monitoring is needed to reduce the impact of disasters, as the effects are more complicated when the volcano is located in a densely populated area.
