The Importance of the TAGANA System in Responding to COVID-19
Kristanto Sinandang – SIAP SIAGA CBDRM Experts – reflects on why the TAGANA system occupies a unique place in Indonesia’s management of disasters.
One of the key mechanisms of the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) for the implementation of disaster management activities at community level is Taruna Siaga Bencana (TAGANA). TAGANA engages in all phases of the disaster management cycle: before, during and after a disaster. In addition to facilitating Disaster Preparedness Village planning, TAGANA takes part in emergency response and post-disaster recovery activities. For example, during the Central Sulawesi Tsunami and Earthquake in September 2018, TAGANA was mobilized, among other activities, to distribute logistics, manage public kitchens, and collect data on disaster victims.
The SIAP SIAGA Program is the Australia-Indonesia Partnership on Disaster Risk Management which aims to strengthen disaster resilience in Indonesia and the Indo-Pacific Region
