As mandated by the fourth paragraph of the 1945 Consituion which stresses that the funcion of the State is to
protect all of the people of Indonesia and the enire homeland of Indonesia, the Government and the House of Representaive (DPR) in April 2007 issued a Law Number 24, 2007 on Disaster Management. The Law becomes a strong
legal protecion to carry out Disaster Management (DM) in a systemaic, integrated and sustainable way as well as
coherent with an aim to protect the naion of Indonesia from all kinds of disaster threats.
Within the period of 5 (ive) years, all stakeholders involving in the DM, including the Naional Agency for Disaster
Management (BNPB) coninues step forward racing against the escalaion of disasters that struck this
beloved
naion. Based on the Law on Disaster Management, various eforts have been undertaken ranging from rearranging
legal framework, reforming agencies that deal with Disaster Management, mainstreaming the DM in the naional
development plan to the strengthening of the grass-root communiies together with a uniied vision “towards a
resilient naion”.
Various achievements we have atained as a naion so far, of course, have yet to saisfy all paries. BNPB and
stakeholders coninue to undertake efors to save more lives and reduce property losses. Such eforts have been
recognized by the Internaional Community. The presentaion of the award as The Global Champion for Disaster Risk
Reducion from UN-ISDR to the President of Republic of Indonesia Dr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono becomes one of
indicators of successful achievements that had been atained by Indonesia.
The iniiaive to compile “Naional Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reducion 2013 (NAR on DRR)” is an iniial
step to depic the eforts on Disaster Risk Reducion (DRR) with parameters compiled and developed based on the
home-grown experience of Indonesia. As a strategic review, I hope NAR can become a material for naional
evaluaion of the progress, constraints and gaps from the planning up to the implementaion of disaster risk reducion
eforts. Furthermore, the NAR will always be updated every two years that will become a relecion for everyone in
providing inputs when reviewing and reposiioning Disaster Management Naional Strategy.
PREFACE
Evacuation route should be access for the whole
village to save them self from any hazard that occured in their area. The command and information
should also be dessiminated for the people. These
women, mother and child are vulnerable, but they
understand when to evacuate.

Through this preface, I would like to express my sincere appreciaion to the drating team (consists of experts and
praciioners of disaster management) for their hardwork. They have become “silent workers” whose aciviies are
not recognized by the public, but the results of their works have been trully meaningful in reducing disaster risks in
Indonesia. I believe this iniiaive will become part of eforts to uphold transparency and accountability of Disaster
Management aciviies in Indonesia.

The past ife years of disaster management in Indonesia in the period of 2005-2012 have been focused on
the comprehensive shit of paradigm to disaster risk reducion. DRR in Indonesia has more or less achieved signiicant progress. This may be seen, among others, from
all the internaional awards received and actual changes
in the ield that may be sustainable in the long run. Several achievements and lessons learned have been found
throughout the period. The successes, achiements and
lessons learned further encourage Indonesia to reposiion its disaster risk reducion strategies.
Data from the Center for Data, Informaion and Public Relaions of BNPB, show that in the past 30 years
(1982-2012) there are 10.817 disaster events. The biggest number is lood with 4,121 events (38%), followed
by landslide with 1,983 events (18%), strong wind with
1,903 events (18%), drought with 1,414 events (13%)
and other disaster with 1,397 events (13%). Disasters
in this period have claimed 225,509 lives, both dead
and missing. Earthquake and tsunami claimed 174,101

people, earthquake 15,250 people, lood and landslide
7,555 people and other disasters 28,603 people.
In Indonesia disaster risks are closely related to poverty.
Figure 1 below shows the correlaion between poverty
and disaster risks. Areas with high populaion density
of poor people tend to experience more frequent disastrous events. The contrary is also true, in that areas
with more historical disaster events tend to have more
people with higher level of poverty.
Realizing the close correlaion between disaster and
poverty level, Indonesian Disaster Risk Analysis has
been geared towards assessing the potenial losses
that may be sufered by a certain region when afected
by disaster. Also, the method calculate the number of
people potenially exposed and areas that may be damaged by disaster events. Such disaster risk analysis that
factored in potenial losses has been implemented in all
provinces throughout Indonesia. By using these data Indonesia may calculate the disaster deicit index for each
province in the country.

1. Naional Commitment
a. Indonesian naional commitment for disaster management that focuses on disaster risk reducion has
been insituionalized into regulaions and budgeing.
The country has made disaster management an integral part of its naional development prioriies. The success in internalizing disaster management into naional
development planning has to be appreciated and sustained for the subsequent development planning cycles.
Achievements in this ield may be seen from:
• Disaster management system has been integrated
into naional development planning and budgeing
system.
• This integraion has triggered a signiicant increase
in disaster risk reducion budget at the naional level.
• In the past ive years it could be seen that 82% programs related disaster management are generic in
nature and 18% speciically related to certain disasters.
b. The commitment to promote disaster management
that focuses on disaster risk reducion has to be enhanced at all levels, from the naional to the local levels. One of the way to assess the comprehensiveness of
commitment is by observing signiicant paricipaion in
all its forms at all relevant levels. However, the quanity of paricipaion sill has to be supported with efecive management, transparency and accountability that
are focused on achieving beneit and changes in the
long run. Good governance consitutes the key to actual efeciveness in ataining longer-term beneits and
changes. Disaster management governance has to be
implemented in an all-encompassing scope, engaging
all ministries, agencies and relevant organizaions from
the naional down to the local level. Improvement in disaster management governance in Indonesian is started
with the regulatory framework, and then planning and
budgeing system. Some lessons learned:
16 NATIONAL ASSESSMENT REPORT ON DRR 2013
•
•
Budget increase has not been followed by increase
in disaster risk reducion budget in many localiies.
Many local governments allocate less than 0.1% of
their local development budget for DRR.
It is considered that Indonesia’s achievements in
DRR have not been comprehensive and sustainable
due to lack of commitment in the part of the local
governments and not so efecive disaster management governance.
2. Insituional Seing in Disaster Management
a. Law Number 24/2007 provides a strong insituional
policy framework for disaster management, and gives a
clear and powerful mandate for DM Agencies at all levels to coordinate aciviies related to disaster management. BNPB is an agency mandated by the Law and it
is expected that local governments establish local DM
Agencies by an equally strong legal instrument, which in
the context of local government is the Local Regulaion.
Establishment of Local DM Agency/BPBD has to be sipulated under Local Regulaions. Success in this aspect is
achieved through:
• Law Number 24 Year 2007 on Disaster Management
was followed by its ancillary regulaions like Presidenial Decree Number 8/2008 on BNPB, Government Regulaion Number 21/2008 on the Conduct
of Disaster Management, Government Regulaion
Number 22/2008 on Financing, Government Regulaion Number 23/2008 on the Roles of Foreign
Organizaions and Internaional NGOs, Ministry of
Home Afairs Regulaion Number 38/2008 on the
Mechanism of Internaional Support, Ministry of
Home Afairs Regulaion Number 03/2008 on the
Mechanism of Collaboraion between Local Governments and Internaional Organizaions, Ministry of
Home Afairs Regulaion Number 46/2008 on the
Guideline for Local DM Agency Organizaion and
Administraion, and Chief of BNPB Number 3/2008
•
on the Guideline for the Establishment of Local DM
Agencies. Planning documents in Indonesia, as regulated by the Naional Planning Board include Longterm Naional Development Plan/RPJPN 2005-2025,
Middle-term Naional Development Plan/RPJMN
2004-2009, and Annual Development Plan or Government Working Plan/RKP.
BNPB was established by the Naional Government
(Aricle 10, paragraph 1 Law Number 24/2007) as
a non-departmental government body at the ministerial level (Aricle 10, paragraph 2 Law Number
24/2007). Up to the present ime there have been
436 Local DM Agencies/BPBD, 33 at the provincial
level and 403 at the district/city level (81% of 497
districts/ciies in Indonesia).
b. Laws at the central government level and local regulaions at the local level only sipulate basic legal provisions that are more general in nature. A regulaion that
arranges the set-up of a certain insituion needs to be
supported with more detailed regulaions. There is also
a need to synchronize the new regulaion with exising
regulaions, with analysis of the scope of work and responsibiliies that will ensure the performance of duies
mandated to the insituion.
There needs to be facilitaion in the formulaion of these
supporing regulaions, paricularly through adequate
analysis from all perspecives. When efecive facilitaion cannot be implemented, there may be fricions due
to vested interests, which in the end may decrease the
values and funcions regulated through the related laws
and local regulaions.
If at the central government supporing regulaions
have not been efecive enough, the local governments
may become confused and this may lead to ineiciency
in policy formulaion and implementaion. Regulaions
enacted in the regions have to refer to those issued by
the naional government.
Lessons learned from this process:
• As a technical non-departmental agency, it would
be diicult for BNPB to engage in coordinaion with
the other ministries.
• Among the problem in insituional issue at the local
and naional levels include the too rapid pace in the
establishment of Local DM Agencies at the district/
city level;
• Human resources (technical, administraion and
epistemic knowledge) as the weakest point both at
the naional and local levels;
• Weakness in coordinaion for program planning and
implementaion; coordinaion in awareness building for communiies living in hazard-prone areas;
• Lack of synchronizaion among verical policies (naional versus local);
• Disaster risk reducion has not become the government strategic issue; weak DRR policies and strategies; Local DM Agencies that are established under
District Head or City Mayor Regulaions may be vulnerable to volaility of local budget poliics;
• Compeing development projects (Sectors versus
BPBD/BNPB);
• Weak law/policy enforcement and inadequate leadership both at the naional and local levels.
3. Preparedness for Emergency Response
a. Indonesia has already developed a solid procedure
related to preparedness aciviies. Although no umbrella law for this has been legalized, preparedness aciviies have been implemented widely through the development of early warning systems, evacuaion plans and
coningency plans.
Indonesia has developed Tsunami Early Warning System
just ater the 26 December 2004 tsunami. At present,
under the coordinaion of Agency for Meteorology, Climate and Geophysics (BMKG), in addiion to building
the Naional Tsunami Early Warning Center, Indonesia
has become one of Regional Tsunami Service Provider
NATIONAL ASSESSMENT REPORT ON DRR 2013
17
(RTSP) together with India and Australia that serve all
countries in the Indian Ocean region.
Achievements in this ield may be seen from:
• BNPB has issued a series of legal instruments related to preparedness building and disaster emergency response operaions. These regulaions include Guidelines for Logisical Assistance during
Emergency, Guidelines for Indonesian Disaster Data
and Informaion Management, Guidelines for Logisics and Equipment Management, Guidelines
for Disaster Volunteers, Standardizaion of Disaster
Data, Guidelines for Warehousing, Guidelines for
Equipment Assistance, Guidelines for Logisical Assistance, Guidelines for Standardizaion of Logisics
in Disaster Management, and Guidelines for Standardizaion of Equipment in Disaster Management.
• All these legal and policy instruments have been
well socialized, trained and developed further in the
regions.
• Indonesia has developed disaster early warning
systems for most major hazards. The Tsunami Early
Warning System has even been started to be developed just ater the 2004 tsunami. Under the coordinaion of Agency for Meteorology, Climate and
Geophysics (BMKG), Indonesia presently becomes
one of Regional Tsunami Service Provider (RTSP) for
tsunami warning with India and Australia.
• To support aciviies related to rapid assessment,
evacuaion and disaster survivor search in the regions, the government established Rapid Response
Unit (SRC PB). SRC PB was established under the
President’s order in Cabinet Meeing of 5 November 2009. Disaster preparedness became one of the
15 prioriies in the irst 100 days of the cabinet. As
coordinator of disaster management in the country, BNPB followed-up the direcive by establishing
two SRC PB units; one for Western Indonesia with
Jakarta as the headquarters and one for Eastern In18 NATIONAL ASSESSMENT REPORT ON DRR 2013
•
donesia with Malang, East Java as the headquarters
in December 2009.
Capacity building for BPBD has been done progressively from ime to ime. In 2009 capacity building
for emergency response was provided to 15 districts/ciies in 9 provinces. In 2010 capacity building
for preparedness was provided to 29 provinces, in
the form of provision of rescue cars and motor trail.
In 2011 insituional capacity building for preparedness was provided to 33 provinces in the form of
rescue cars, motor trail, ield kitchen trucks and water treatment trucks. In 2012 capacity building for
preparedness was provided to 33 provinces in the
form of command cars, muli-purpose trucks and
ambulances and standards equipment in disaster
management for 265 BPBD districts/ciies.
b. The development of an operaion system for an emergency situaion requires strong and coninuous coordinaion, which needs to be enhanced coninuously. The
use of this operaion system depends very much on the
other systems. Interoperability and synergy among relevant systems someimes need greater atenion than
the building of the system itself.
The use of interrelated systems calls for a degree of trust
among the users and adequate human resources. User’s
trust will increase if connecivity and efeciveness between the systems have been tested efecively when
being operated. The need for qualiied human resources
has to become an integral part of the system. A very eficient system does not require bigger human resources.
Some lessons learned:
• Inconsistency in enforcing rules and regulaions related to preparedness; between the actual implementaion in the ield and the prevailing laws.
• Development of disaster early warning systems integrated into the naional system that uses stand-
•
ardized warning parameters for all hazards has not
been completed. For tsunami early warning system,
there are sill some constraints in disseminaing
warnings among communiies. Tsunami disaster
early warning system employs the status of waspada (advisory), siaga (warning) and awas (major
warning) for diferent levels of potenial disaster
and this is diferent with the early warning system
used for lood and volcano.
The bridge between preparedness and emergency
response includes coningency plan and early warning just before disaster events, and rapid response
and operaions plan just immediately ater the disaster. Coningency plans were formulated during
preparedness and will be operaionalized in imes
of disaster, ater being enriched by the results of
rapid assessment. BNPB through the Guidelines for
Emergency Operaions Plan tries to establish emergency operaions procedures. In pracice, in imes of
emergency Coningency Plans have not always been
transformed into Operaions Plans.
4. Community Resilience
a. Communiies living in hazard-prone areas and those
living outside these areas have roles to play in disaster
management, not only in emergency response. Community resilience has become a key issue in Indonesia and
welcomed by the internaional community. Community
resilience is the basis for development of disaster management in Indonesia. Several communiies have demonstrated quite substanial progresses in building resilience. Resilience building currently is viewed from the
commitment of communiies in mobilizing their own
resources for aciviies related to disaster risk reducion.
There have been many programs and allocaion of resources done by ministries/agencies and the stakeholders to build the criical awareness and enhance community’s capacity in hazard prone areas.
Based on data from BNPB and AIFDR, as per 18 February
2013 there are 1,023 villages involved in village empowerment programs through various diferent iniiaives.
Government insituions implemening such programs
include BNPB (Disaster Resilient Village), Ministry of
Marine Afairs and Fishery (Resilient Coastal Villages),
Ministry of Manpower and Transmigraion (Community Empowerment, Agriculture and Economic Development), USAID/KKP (Indonesia Marine and Climate Support Project), UNDP (Safer Community for Disaster Risk
Reducion), UNDP-DRRA (Livelihood, Disaster Risk Reducion for Aceh), GIZ-IS (GITEWS Capacity Building for
Local Community), Oxfam GB (Building Resilience), Arbeiter Samariter Bund (Disaster Preparedness for Youth,
livestock coningency plan, Building Community Resilience, Livelihood), IOM (Access to Finance and Capacity Building for Micro and Small Enterprises, Enhancing
Disaster Preparedness and Response Capacity in Garut
District, West Java), Mercy Corps (DRR-CCA projects),
Indonesian Red Cross/PMI (Community-based Integrated DRR, Community-based Preparedness, Community
Awareness), Daya Annisa (CB-DRM, Sustainable Livelihood), and SHEEP Foundaion Indonesia (CB-DRM Muria
Coaliion, CB-DRM Juwana river basin).

Achievement Indicators for Resilience Village/Sub Districts
b. Enhancement of community resilience has to be
started with the development of the criical awareness
of the community on the need for safety and to protect
their assets and properies from disaster. Internal resource mobilizaion may occur when communiies have
developed their criical awareness. Resilience building
has to be done broadly and comprehensively in areas
where criical awareness is diicult to nurture.
Such programs at the community level need to coordinate with other development programs in a harmonized
manner, both government and non-government programs. These programs need to be focused on achieving
beneits and not only immediate outputs that are visible
in the short-term.
Figure 3. Achievements in the indicators
may be seen in igure a.
Achievements in this ield may be seen from:
• Disaster resilience can best be seen at the community level, one of the reasons for Disaster Resilient
Village program. The President, Mr. Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono, placed Disaster Resilient Village as one
of the six priority programs in DRR in his remarks
during the opening of the Fith Asian Ministerial
Conference on Disaster Risk Reducion on 23 October 2012 in Yogyakarta. The President maintained
that the program may become the basis for the development of disaster risk management at the local
level. For this purpose, engagement of the mulistakeholders and revitalizaion of local values and
culture have to be enhanced.
• Community members could paricipate acively in
disaster management by becoming volunteers. The
presence of volunteers in a village becomes one of
20 NATIONAL ASSESSMENT REPORT ON DRR 2013
•
the indicators for Disaster Resilient Village Program.
Therefore, Indonesia currently has ceriied 30,320
volunteers1. The role of volunteers and their management in imes of disaster are regulated through
Chief of BNPB Regulaion Number 17 Year 2011 on
Guidelines for Volunteers in Disaster Management.
Communiies and non-governmental organizaions
could collecively and individually carry out community empowerment programs through Village DRR
Forum. There are several themaic forums such as
Paguyuban Siaga Merapi that involves communiies around Merapi Volcano, Jangkar Kelut for village response teams in hazard-prone areas around
Kelut Volcano, and Merapi community radio forum
around Merapi Volcano.
1 Presentaion by Chief of BNPB, Dr. Syamsul Maarif, in Coordinaion Meeing on 4-6 February 2013 at Bidakara Hotel, Jakarta in
front of 1,300 key oicials from provincial and district/city BPBD in
Indonesia.
Lessons learned from the obstacles faced:
• There are sill overlapping of locaions of preparedness programs implemented by donor agencies and
the government. This needs to be avoided by encouraging preparedness building iniiaives in new
areas ideniied as highly prone to disaster.
• The uilizaion of resources in the form of experts,
science, technology and budgets from the state
budget and local budget as well as external donors
has been started but not opimal yet; there needs
to be efort to open accesses to such resources to
increase uilizaion.
5. Partnership for Disaster Management
a. Many DRR stakeholders have more and more realized the importance of networking in DRR at the naional, provincial, district/city and community level. The
establishment of Indonesia’s Naional Plaform for DRR
consitutes the irst among naional plaforms in other
countries. The Naional Plaform for DRR in Indonesia
has more or less encouraged other neighboring countries to set-up their DRR plaforms. This may also become the cause of the nominaion of RI President as the
Global Champion for DRR.
Principle of partnership has also been implemented in
disaster emergency response. Emergency response cannot be done by one single agency, it has to be carried
out together to achieve opimal results. As a coordinator in emergency response, BNPB has coordinated the
relevant ministries and agencies, and the Naional Police and the Army as well as non-governmental actors.
b. No signiicant obstacles have been found in this partnership aspect. In future, development of best pracices
for leveraging of beneits and long-term changes will be
sought for this partnership aspect.
6. Indonesia’s Role in the Global Stage
1. At the global stage, Indonesia’s posiion as a disaster
laboratory has been strengthened by nurturing beter
understanding of disaster risk reducion. This further
materializes into the country’s contribuion at the global scale.
Achievements in this ield may be seen from:
• The nominaion for Global Champion for Disaster
Risk Reducion for the President, Mr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The award ceremony was atended by Dr. Syamsul Maarif as the Chief of BNPB and
Head of the Republic of Indonesia Delegaion. The
UN was represented by the United Naions Special
Representaive of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reducion, Margareta Wahlstrom in front of
several heads of state, ministers and 2,500 paricipants from 160 countries.
• In 2009 Dr. Eko Teguh Paripurno, Head of Disaster
Management Study Center of a university in Yogyakarta received the UN Sasakawa award for DRR
for his contribuion and commitment for DRR and
capacity building for communiies at the grassroots
level. The Sasakawa award is a presigious award at

the internaional level given biannually by the UNISDR.
Indonesia has also organized successfully the Fith
Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reducion in Yogyakarta between 22-25 October 2012,
which was atended by 2,600 paricipants from 72
countries, including two heads of states and 25 ministers. AMCDRR 5 came out with the Yogyakarta Declaraion on DRR in the Asia-Paciic. In the AMCDRR
Indonesian President emphasized the importance
of building partnership among the stakeholders. In
the World Economic Forum for East Asia 2011, Disaster Resource Partnership (DRP) Naional Network
for Indonesia was launched.
In terms of cooperaion for building disaster preparedness at the regional level, Indonesia has successfully conducted ASEAN Regional Forum Disaster
Relief Exercise (ARF DiREx) 2011 as a forum for disaster exercise among ASEAN countries. ARF DiREx
was conducted in Manado, North Sulawesi on 14-19
March 2011 atended by 23 out of 27 countries registered. Indonesia and Japan became the Co-chairs
of this event. Aciviies included table top exercise
and ield exercise.
“Internaional Table Top Exercise (TTX) Mentawai
Megathrust” was conducted on 22-25 April 2013
in Padang, West Sumatra. This event included capacity building in response capacity, with a theme
“Strengthening Collaboraion and Partnership in
Disaster Response to Build a Resilient Region”. A total of 251 people atending from ASEAN + partners

of Global Growth” with 3 prioriies, they are 1) Attaining the Bogor Goals; 2) Sustainable Growth with
Equity; and 3) Promoing Connecivity. BNPB will become the host of the 7th Senior Disaster Management Oicials’ Forum (SDMOF) to be conducted on
21-22 August 2013 in Bali. The seventh SDMOF will
invite ministerial level oicials in disaster management from APEC member countries.
In APEC meeing in Kazan, Russia in 2012 Indonesia
proposed Emergency Response Travel Facilitaion
(ERTF). ERTF is a mechanism to facilitate entry of
personnel and goods from an economy to another economy afected by major-scale catastrophe.
This concept adopts the APEC Business Travel Card
(ABTC) where qualiied entrepreneurs from APEC
economies that hold ABTC are registered at APEC
economy immigraion and may freely pass all members of the APEC economy without visa for each visit. Considering that the implementaion of ERTF also
afects the other working groups, Indonesia invited
the APEC Emergency Preparedness Working Group
to conduct dialogue with Business Mobility Group
on immigraion issues and Sub Commitee on Customs and Procedure for issues related to customs
and excise as part of the ERTF.
As a follow-up to ASEAN meeing in Vieniane, Laos
PDR on 26 July 2005, the oice of ASEAN Coordinaing Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre) was established
•
•
in Jakarta and oicially launched by the Indonesian
Coordinaing Minister for People’s Welfare on 27
January 2011. AHA Centre is a coordinaion center
for ASEAN humanitarian assistance in disaster. AHA
Centre was established to facilitate cooperaion and
coordinaion among ASEAN member states, with
the United Naions and other internaional organizaions, as part of the efort to promote regional collaboraion in disaster management.
Indonesia presently has possessed a data and informaion system that is the Indonesian Disaster Data
and Informaion. The database contains district/
city disaster events data from 1815 to 2012. There
is also the geospaial and disaster monitoring data
that could be accessed at the website www.bnpb.
go.id. The Indonesian Disaster Data and Informaion
is among the best informaion system tools in the
Asia-Paciic region.
Indonesian Disaster Rapid Response Unit (SRC PB)
consitutes a stand-by force that has been established based on the direcive of RI President. The
force consists of medical team, engineering team,
communicaion team, and rapid response team,
supported by personnel from the Army and Naional Police with aircrats Hercules C-130, Be-200, and
CN 235 to ensure mobility to disaster afected areas
within hours.
2. Many signiicant lessons have been learned from Indonesia’s role in the global stage. In the future it is expected that this may bring long-term changes in disaster
management at the regional and global levels.

Intergrating DRR into coastal zone management in Indonesia is a very important issues.
Bringing the concept into the level of praxis
should be done by stakeholders related in
coastal area with good coordination, cooperation, and consultation. The North Java Sea
have a high risk of erosion and conlict of

7 REPOSITION COMPONENTS
OF InDOneSIan DRR
NATIONAL ASSESSMENT REPORT ON DRR 2013

1. Strengthening Regulatory Framework for Beter DRR
in Indonesia
Strengthening DRR regulatory framework in Indonesia
carried out in 4 components:
a. Planned Amendment of Law Number 24/2007 on
Disaster Management
Planned amendment of Law Number 24/2007 focuses
on synchronizing of “non-disaster condiion” with “disaster potenial condiion”, which results in the “pre-disaster condiion” and which will also strengthen preparaion for emergency response.
Separate treatment of the two condiions led to DRR
format that made it diicult to integrate prevenion and
miigaion into preparedness. Preparedness planning
became separate from DRR.
b. Harmonizaion of DM Law with exising regulaions
Mapping of conlicing regulaions was carried out to
idenify overlap of authority, funcions and responsibility, which have contributed to the weakening of commitment to disaster management, at both local and
naional level. An example is synchronizaion of Law
Number 33/2004 and PP 41/2007 on Local Government
Authority.
c. Formulaion of Supporing Technical Regulaion with
Close supervision on the process
Various research results can be good bases to formulate
technical regulaions. Some topics ideniied in this area
are as the following:
• Regulaions regarding synchronizaion of budgeing
and budget monitor of disaster management fund
at line ministries.
• Technical regulaions related to development of naional preparedness system, naional early warning
system, evacuaion plan and coningency plan.
• Regulaions related to disaster management part26 NATIONAL ASSESSMENT REPORT ON DRR 2013
•
nership at naional and local level.
Regulaions related to declaraion of emergency response status with Presidenial Decree.
d. Ensure efeciveness of Regulatory Frameworks on
DRR
To support efeciveness of various regulaions on DRR,
a mechanism is put in place to ensure that regulaions
are put into pracice by related stakeholders.
2. Integraion of DM into Development Planning
The fact that disaster management has become naional
poliical commitment needs to be advanced into integraing disaster management into the overall naional
and local development planning. Coordinaion among
line ministries and related state insituions was the key
to integraing disaster management into development
planning.
3. Beter Governance on DRR
The integraion of disaster management into development planning increased the budget line on disaster risk
reducion, but requires good governance on DRR programs in order to ensure opimum beneit to communiies.
4. Development of Integrated Systems
Law Number 24/2007 on Management Disaster demands Emergency Responses Management Plan as
the basis for preparedness plan. The exising condiion
shows the absence of supporing regulaion to guide
document preparaion and its implementaion method.
Development of integrated early warning system consitutes eforts to close the gaps in disaster early warning.
Those gaps include the use of the same parameters on
informaion disseminated to community, applicaion of
eicient integrate operaing procedure among disaster
at local level and to alleviate the burden of local government budget, and a regular training by EWS provider to
users.
At the community level development of EWS is directed
to enhance the range of system service and community
ability to response to warnings. Especially to the tsunami EWS it is recommended for development and compleion of early warning system at the naional and local
level as priority.
5. Changes of Paradigm for Efecive DRR
programs focus on ensuring sustainable community capacity building as well as strengthening of coordinaion
among actors across various sectors and spectrums in
disaster resilience. Iniiaives were taken to facilitate advocacy and sharing among disaster resilience actors at
naional, regional and local levels.
Empowerment is carried out in synergy among actors
and programs, based on local tradiions and cultures as
in the use of local popular media such as Wayang (puppet show) in Yogyakarta, Ludruk in Surabaya, Randai and
Rabab in Minang, Lenong Betawi in Jakarta, Tari Saman
in Aceh, in empowerment for disaster resilience.
7. Strengthening Partnership
The long term goal of DRR development focus on good
governance, budget allocaion, implementaion and
monitor which targeing the local government and community at grass root level. Naional and local government insituionally iniiates and translates the change
of DRR paradigm into their development program. At
the local level, there is a need on strong efort to encourage vulnerable groups to paricipate in DRR development not only as object.
Method of paradigm changes might apply through educaion strategy and integraion DRR into formal and
informal educaion and other medium of informaion
applicable. The approach method on paradigm changes
beside trend-seter also should bring forward the community resilient development. It is appropriate investment from government to facilitate the various approaches to develop community resilience.
Strengthening of partnership is deemed necessary to
pool resources for DRR in addiion to Naional (APBN)
and Local Budget (APBD). Loose partnership allows for
eicient and efecive method in inding soluions to
problems without involving the bureaucracy. At local
level, DRR forums and inter-DRR forums were useful as
a forum for sharing of experience.
The Naional Plaform for DRR has to be up scaled and
expanded to the local level. Local DRR forums need to
be enhanced as a network hub to share experiences and
informaion. There needs to be greater acknowledgment from the government to the results of such forums. Also, the mechanism needs to be insituionalized
to provide beneits from partnership in DRR.
6. Opimizing Local Community Empowerment for DRR
Opimizing community empowerment for disaster risk
reducion starts with redeiniion of community empowerment, including budgeing mechanism for implementaion of empowerment programs. Empowerment

1. The Islands of Sumatera, Java, Bali and the Moluccas noted a trend of decrease in disaster risk, which is
most evident when comparing results of disaster risk
assessment and HDRI Index. This is partly a result of signiicantly improved capacity. Especially for the Maluku
province, the enduring peace was conducive to contribute in minimizing social conlict that had been a predominant factor in disaster risk in the previous period.
a. Provinces on Sumatera islands are improving their capacity. Reduced risk resuling from enhanced capacity
contributed to self-suiciency of the provinces in coping
with disaster, especially hydro-meteorological and social
hazards. In large scale disasters caused by geological aciviies, such as earthquake, tsunami and volcanic erupion, the provinces might sill need inancial support
from the naional government for disaster response operaions, besides coninuous technical assistance.
b. Provinces on Java islands are enhancing their capacity. Most of the provinces, however, face the issue of
large-scale criical infrastructure and faciliies, which
put them in need for support from the naional government for inancing emergency response operaions. The
naional inancial assistance is allocated for mending
criical infrastructure and faciliies.
c. Bali province faces condiions similar to those in Sumatera. Regarding hydro-meteorological and social disasters, Bali is self-suicient in terms of inancing. Yet
it sill needs support from the naional government in
emergency response in geological disasters. In general,
it sill requires technical assistance from the naional
government for disaster risk reducion.
d. While sharing similar condiions with provinces on
Java, the trend of decreasing disaster risk in Maluku
province is closely related to lessening intensity of social
conlict. Capacity enhancement for disaster risk reduc30 NATIONAL ASSESSMENT REPORT ON DRR 2013
ion is sill necessary for the province. It sill needs support and assistance from the naional government, both
inancing and technical, in terms of disaster risk reducion for all related hazards.
maining the same and high self-suiciency in inancing,
approach in technical assistance from the naional government may be tailored to encouraging self-suiciency
in disaster risk reducion.
2. Risks tend to remain the same, as per disaster risk
assessment compared to HDRI, in provinces on Kalimantan, except for West Kalimantan, provinces in Nusa
Tenggara (Lesser Sunda), Gorontalo, North Sulawesi,
Central Sulawesi and North Maluku.
3. Trend of increase in disaster risk, as based on comparison between risk assessment results and HDRI, might
be found in the provinces in Papua, Southeast Sulawesi,
West Sulawesi, South Sulawesi and West Kalimantan.
a. Provinces on Kalimantan, with excepion of West Kalimantan, have yet to develop opimum disaster management capacity. Strategies in disaster risk reducion hae
ye to see real impact. While they are self-suicient in
inancing, the provinces need more technical assistance
and new approaches from the naional government.
South Kalimantan, especially, requires budget support
from the naional government for disaster risk reducion
and emergency response operaions.
b. Provinces in Nusa Tenggara also need new approaches to opimize disaster risk reducion. With risks tending
to remain the same and weak self-suiciency, the provinces require new methods in technical assistance and
budget support from the naional government in overall
disaster management.
c. While disaster risks in the provinces on Sulawesi,
namely Central Sulawesi, Gorontalo and North Sulawesi
Provinces, tend to remain the same, the provinces require new method of intervenion from the naional
government in technical capacity building in disaster
management. Gorontalo, especially, sill needs budget
support from the naional government.
d. North Maluku also requires new approach in intervenion in technical assistance. With disaster risks re-
a. While some parts of Sulawesi noted staionary level
of disaster risks, some other parts of the island tend
to see increase in disaster risk, namely the province of
Southeast Sulawesi, West Sulawesi and South Sulawesi.
These provinces require technical and budget support
from the naional government. In South Sulawesi, budget support was tailored to emergency response. Despite
its high revenues, the province has not managed to
mend its criical faciliies, infrastructure and other important assets.
b. Provinces in Papua preserve relaively high level of
self-suiciency in coping with various disaster risks,
especially hydro-meteorological and social ones. They
need coninuous technical support from the naional
government, as disaster risks tend to increase.
c. Disaster risks might increase in West Kalimantan,
hence it needs technical support from the naional government. Technical assistance could focus on maximizing regional revenue and budget towards self-suiciency in disaster management.
d. Budget support as previously described does not apply to recurring large-scale disasters such as earthquake,
tsunami and volcanic erupion. These large scale disasters require holisic/integrated assistance.
