Early Warning-Based Multihazard and Disaster Management Systems

An integrated and interdisciplinary approach to Early Warning and Risk Management is described in this paper as well as the general technical implementation of Early Warning and Risk Management Systems. Based on this systems approach, a concept has been developed for the design of an Integrated System for Coastal Protection. In addition to this, as a prototype implementation of a modern environmental monitoring and surveillance system, a system for the Remote Monitoring of Nuclear Power Plants is presented here in more detail, including a Web Portal to allow for public access. The concept, the architectural design and the user interface of Early Warning and Risk Management Systems have to meet high demands. It is shown that only a close cooperation of all related disciplines and an integrated systems approach is able to fulfil the catalogue of requirements and to provide a suitable solution for environmental monitoring and surveillance, for early warning and for emergency management.

Evacuation Route

All disasters experienced by Indonesia in the last years has developed anawareness of the fragility and vulnerability. At this time, the disastermanagement is currently insufficient anymore. The disaster management gain anew dimension with UU 24/ 2007 and followed some related regulations.Mitigation program implemented by BPBD Banjarnegara includes Structuraland Non Structural Mitigation has been completed well. For example, disasterdatabase, installation of Early Warning System (EWS), information andsocialization, training and disaster simulation.In the future, mitigation will be focused on public education. Thegovernment should implement the hazard maps, environmental improvement,evacuation route, installation of low-cost EWS at all location, and relocation. inadditon, whole villages must become village disaster response (desa tanggapbencana).Key words : landslides; structural mitigation; non structural mitigation.
