Okay, for my next entry, I want to talk about disaster and emergency management plan. It is also known as emergency management in some part of the world. WHO has defined disaster as sudden ecological phenomenon of sufficient magnitude to require external assistance. As for emergency, it is a situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, property or environment. Emergency Management is the generic name of an interdisciplinary field dealing with the strategic organizational management processes used to protect critical assets of an organization from hazard risks that can cause disasters or catastrophes, and to ensure their continuance within their planned lifetime. Assets are categorized as either living things, non-living things, cultural or economic. Hazards are categorized by their cause, either natural or human-made. The entire strategic management process is divided into four fields to aid in identification of the processes. The four fields normally deal with risk reduction, preparing resources to respond to the hazard, responding to the actual damage caused by the hazard and limiting further damage (e.g., emergency evacuation, quarantine, mass decontamination, etc.), and returning as close as possible to the state before the hazard incident.
This is the conceptual framework of disaster:
In this diagram, I want to illustrate what really happen during the actual disaster management program.
In Indonesia, the organizational structure to manage disaster is as follows,
1. BAKORNAS PB is a national coordinating board for disaster management, chaired by Vice President.
2. SATKORLAK PB is provincial coordinating unit for disaster management, chaired by Governor in the respective area.
3. SATLAK PB is a district or municipal implementation unit for disaster management, chaired by Bupatior Mayor of the city.
