Disaster Risk Reduction Based on Community through a Contingency Plan for Mount Sinabung

Abstract

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.

Influences of Contingency Planning in Improving Preparedness of Tough Disaster Village Cadres in Facing Volcano Eruption Disaster in Blitar, East Java, Indonesia

“…The preparedness is a series of activities undertaken to anticipate disasters through appropriate and effective measures to ensure a fast and effective response in the event of a disaster (9) . In line with this study that the preparedness of the tough disaster village cadres tends to be less before being given a contingency planning, because the contingency planning is prepared to deal with a crisis situation that is expected to occur soon (5) . The contingency planning is a process of identifying and compiling a planning based on these uncertain circumstances (10) .…”

“…In line with previous study that the preparedness of tough disaster village cadres is influenced by contingency planning as a medium that can be used as initial information for the tough disaster village cadres about the efforts that will be carried out when a disaster occur (8) . Moreover, the preparedness was carried out to ensure fast and appropriate efforts in dealing with disaster event (5) . Preparedness refer to the preparation and trial of a contingency planning for disaster emergency management, such as: organization, installation and testing of early warning systems; provision and preparation of supplies for meeting basic needs; organizing, outreach, training and rehearsals on emergency response mechanisms; site preparation evacuation; preparation of accurate data, information, and updating of disaster emergency response routines; and provision and preparation of materials, goods, and equipment to fulfill the recovery of infrastructure and facilities (1) .…”

“…Contingency planning is a process of identifying and compiling contingency planning based on such contingency or uncertain conditions (5) . This contingency planning identifies the actions that must be taken by each party involved in disaster management and the resources to be used.…”

Disaster Communication Uses Field Training Exercise Simulation as an Important Aspect of Disaster Risk Reduction

“…Mount Sinabung is an active mountain from 2010 to 2019 (Kusumayudha, Lestari, & Paripurno, 2018;Lestari, Paripurno, & Nugroho, 2018). Mount Sinabung again experienced an eruption in June 2019 and caused no fatalities.…”

A Tsunami-Related Life History of Survivors in Banda Aceh, Indonesia and Sendai, Japan

“…Dudley, Goff and Johnston (2009) and Iemura et al (2006) work on mapping out the craft knowledge of tsunami survivors and their immediate reactions. Octastefani and Rum (2019) and Lestari, Paripurno and Nugroho (2018) suggest that a risk reduction program be based on expanding the collective capacity of a community while Hidayat (2019) emphasizes the importance of communication among agencies. Among the few studies that deal with the Acehness' prior knowledge of tsunami is the work by McAdoo et al (2006) on the local oral history of smong, literally meaning "the land swept by seawater."…”
