One of the most highlighted issues in the developing world of the 21st century is the hydrometeorological disasters. Developed and developing nations are all affected by the more prominent climate change. There has been a rise in disaster occurrences over the past decade that this has caused more attention to be given to the topic of disaster management especially to floods. The scale of these disaster events has also intensified and have broken past records with more destructive disasters. This paper intends to review the activities related to hydrometeorological disaster. Key activities are broken down into three different phases, namely pre-disaster, during disaster and post-disaster. Understanding the activities involved is pertinent to not only the lead agencies and non-governmental organizations but plays a bigger role for the vulnerable communities. In the past, communities were the last group to be participative in disaster risk reduction efforts. Today, communities are being engaged from early stage to empower them to be resilient towards the possibility of facing future flood disaster. Evacuation planning and logistics arrangement are key activities prior to the occurrence of any disaster which will ease the implementation of search and rescue operations. However during disaster, it is important for the early warning system to be functioning to alert the affected communities. People also need to be aware of the outbreak of diseases during flood disaster. Finally, post-disaster efforts focuses more on the restoration of damaged infrastructure as well as the mental state of the affected victims. Understanding these key activities will increase the awareness of stakeholders in reducing loss of life and minimizing damages towards properties.

Legal Consequences

Indonesian geographical, geological and hydrological regions are disaster-prone areas. Disaster-prone is the geological, biological, hydrological, climatological, geographical, social, cultural, political, economic and technological conditions or characteristics of a region for a certain period of time that reduce the ability in preventing, reducing, achieving readiness, and reduce the ability to respond to adverse impacts of certain hazards. People's behavior that damages the environment also tends to increase the number of disasters. Seeing such conditions, the government has compiled a policy to allocate budgets for pre-disaster, during emergency response, and post-disaster development. This government policy is also supported by the contributions of community in providing disaster relief. A bad disaster management system can be a gap to commit criminal acts against funds and disaster relief. In this study, two issues will be discussed, namely legal politics in funding and managing disaster relief and the legal consequences of criminal acts in funding and management of disaster relief. The legal politics in disaster relief funding and management are outlined in The Act Number 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster Management and Republic of Indonesia Government Regulation Number 22 of 2008 concerning Funding and Management of Disaster Assistance. The legal consequences of criminal acts of funding and management of disaster assistance are criminal penalties ranging from imprisonment, fines, or capital punishment

Bencana adalah suatu peristiwa atau rangkaian kejadian yang mengakibatkan korban penderitaan manusia, kerugian harta, benda, kerusakan lingkungan, sarana dan prasarana serta dapat menimbulkan gangguan terhadap tata kehidupan dan penghidupan manusia. Lingkungan hidup kita, khususnya di Pulau Jawa makin hari semakin terpuruk dan nampak “sangat peka” terhadap gangguan-gangguan proses alami, misalnya curah hujan tinggi disertai angina kencang atau badai yang semakin sering mucul. Desa Mekargalih Kecamatan Jatinangor merupakan salah satu wilayah di Kabupaten Sumedang yang rentan mengalami bencana banjir dan longsor. Hampir setiap musim penghujan, bencana banjir dan longsor melanda wilayah ini. Upaya penanggulangan bencana selama ini telah dilakukan, baik oleh pemerintah daerah maupun dari masyarakat Desa Mekargalih itu sendiri. Dalam menanggulangi bencana tersebut perlu keterlibatan, peran serta partisipasi dari masyarakat tesebut agar dapat mengantisipasi ketika akan terjadi bencana dan mengetahui tindakan apa saja yang harus dilakukan ketika pra bencana, pada saat terjadi bencana dan pasca bencana sehingga masyarakat dapat memeinimalisir dampak dari bencana banjir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bentuk partisipasi masyarakat dalam penanggulangan bencana, sejauhmana masyarakat peduli terhadap bencana yang menimpa mereka setiap musim penghujan datang. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan melakukan analisis berdasarkan interpretasi dari data primer maupun sekunder. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya bentuk partisipasi dari masyarakat dalam penanggulangan bencana di Desa Mekargalih Kecamatan Jatinangor, bentuk partisispasi masyarakat tersebut berupa partisipasi pemikiran, pasrtisipasi tenaga, partisipasi keterampilan, partisipasi barang dan partisipasi uang. Kelima bentuk partisipasi tersebut sudah diterapkan dan berjalan dengan baik di dalam masyarakat ketika bencana banjir akan datang.   Disaster is an event or series of events which results in victims of human suffering, loss of property, property, damage to the environment, facilities and infrastructure and can cause disruption to the order of life and human livelihood. Our environment, especially in Java, is getting worse and worse and seems to be "very sensitive" to disturbances in natural processes, such as high rainfall accompanied by strong winds or storms that are increasingly frequent. Mekargalih Village, Jatinangor Subdistrict is one of the areas in Sumedang District which is prone to floods and landslides. Almost every rainy season, floods and landslides hit this area. Disaster management efforts have been carried out so far, both by the local government and from the Mekargalih Village community itself. In tackling these disasters, the involvement, role and participation of the community needs to be anticipated in order to anticipate when a disaster will occur and find out what actions should be taken when pre-disaster, in the event of a disaster and post-disaster so that the community can minimize the impact of the flood disaster. This study aims to see the form of community participation in disaster management, to what extent the community cares about the disaster that befalls them every coming rainy season. The method used in this study is qualitative by conducting an analysis based on the interpretation of primary and secondary data. The results of this study indicate that there is a form of community participation in disaster management in Mekargalih Village, Jatinangor Subdistrict, the form of community participation in the form of thought participation, labor participation, skills participation, goods participation and money participation. The five forms of participation have been implemented and are running well in the community when the flood disaster will come.
