Pusdalops PB has provided a sense of comfort and security for residents and tourists in the NTT Province due to the accurate data and information it provides. The data is verified through an effective collection process. INATana enables disaster data entry directly by regencies/cities in an integrated format with the provincial system and line with the national system.
The SIAP SIAGA Program strategically fosters collaboration to develop the same standards and to facilitate joint evaluation and monitoring efforts. While the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has a guideline on Destana, the operating aspect at the village level presents challenges.
According to Putu, the institutional strengthening aspect was overlooked because FPRB Bali really bases itself on volunteerism. Institutional strengthening is very important to make FPRB’s position more strategic and to ensure a high degree of capacity.
The East Java BPBD, through the Disaster Management Emergency Operations Centre (Pusdalops PB), supported by the SIAP SIAGA Program, developed an e-Volunteer application to address the need for a comprehensive database and management platform. The e-Volunteer application, facilitates effective data management, making it easier and more efficient to mobilise volunteers.
The main event of this year’s DRR Month was opened by the Head of BNPB, Letjen TNI Suharyanto, on 13 October and was attended by the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs, Muhajir Effendy, Official for the Governor of Southeast Sulawesi, Andap Budhi Revianto, and governors, district heads and mayors , provincial and district Subnational Disaster Management Agencies (BPBDs), non-governmental organisations, universities, and disaster management volunteers.
