Disaster Management


In Indonesia, there is 220 millions people live in 1.9 million hectares of land, consist of  17.583 islands, which has 120 active volcanoes and 5860 rivers. Because of Indonesia is a meeting place of two tectonic plates, Australia and Asia, it is a Supermarket of Disaster. This year, there are huge disaster happened in Indonesia, flood wasior, Tsunami in Mentawai and also Merapi eruption in Yogyakarta. 


So, because of those thing, we need an organization to set up plan to face those problems.

Cycle of Disaster Management



Prevention: Activities to provide outright avoidance of the adverse impact of hazards and related environmental, technological and biological disasters.

Mitigation: Ongoing structural and non-structural measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact of natural hazards, environmental degradation and technological hazards. Such as build houses far away from hazard, build houses that is flexible when earthquake happens, build dam to prevent flood, with good infrastucture

Preparedness: Activities and measures to ensure effective response in an emergency and its impacts, including timely and effective early warnings and the temporary removal of people and property from a threatening location.

Relief/response: The provision of assistance and/or intervention during or immediately after a disaster to meet the life preservation and basic subsistence needs of those affected.


Recovery: Decisions and actions taken after a disaster with a view to restoring living conditions of the stricken community, while encouraging and facilitating adjustments to reduce disaster risk.



include under response


In the late 1990s, increasing disaster losses worldwide highlighted the need to move beyond ‘managing disaster events’ and to better address the risk processes that drive them in the first place. It was in this context that greater concerted emphasis was placed on ‘disaster risk reduction’ rather than ‘disaster management’. Unlike the disaster management cycle, effective disaster risk reduction roots itself in careful risk identification and analysis—before implementing prevention or mitigation actions.

Requiring for Space Information
Indonesia is a disaster prone country, both natural and human induce disaster. Disaster management in Indonesia needs support form space technology in terms of hazard and risk mapping, early warning, damage assessment and rehabilitation.Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum, APRSAF play an inportant role to assisst Indonesia in the disaster management.


��Satellite Data for Risk Assessment
  • Hazard mapping
  • Vulnerabiliy and risk mapping
Risk Mapping of Mount Merapi --- to aware people

��Satellite Data for Early Warning
  • Monitoring and prediction weather
  • Transmitting data for warning (tsunami)
��Satellite Data for Estimating Damage

��Satellite Data for Rehabilitation
