ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY IN JITUPASNA
Entering the third month post the earthquake, tsunami and
liquefaction disasters in Palu, Sigi and Donggala (in Indonesian:
Pasigala), Central Sulawesi, the Emergency Response Capacity
Building (ERCB) Team has entered the next step i.e. Post Disaster
Need Assessment (in Indonesian: Jitupasna). Currently, the ERCT
team is doing the Jitupasna in 7 villages out of 15 villages that are
located in Pasigala.
“Jitupasna is a series of assessment activities and results
appraisal, impact analysis and needs prioritization that would
become a basis in developing an action plan for the rehabilitation
and reconstruction. Jitupasna assesses the damages, loss, access
disruption, function disruption, increasing risks and the human
resource and social capacities,” explained Agung Prasetyo from
Bina Swadaya, the ERCB spokesman.
Jitupasna applies a focus group discussion (FGD) method that
involves community members from all backgrounds and it is
expected that through the Jitupasna, the communities are able
to mutually identify the post disaster needs for their villages.
The Jitupasna sessions that are attended by all community
representatives such as Village Heads, Hamlet Heads, community
prominent figures and also housewives aim to strengthen the
human resources capacity on the fields of rehabilitation and
reconstruction.
“In order to have the same understanding on the post
disaster need assessment and able to develop a post disaster
rehabilitation and reconstruction action plan document,” said
Titik Susana Ristiyawati from the Rural Technology Development
Institution (LPTP) when she was explaining the reason for
involving community in the Jitupasna.
Mohamad Fauzan, one of the ERCB facilitators from Yayasan
Merah Putih (YMP) who had conducted the Jitupasna in two
villages shared that the community were enthusiastic in
participating in the Jitupasna because they were involved in
formulating the needs for their surroundings.
“The community responded enthusiastically to participate in
the Jitupasna because they expect that stakeholders who would
like to assist them in the near future, are able to put attention
to their areas,” said Fauzan who conducted the Jitupasna in Loli
Pesua Village and Kelurahan Panau.
The community involvement in the Jitupasna process is
considered important because during the FGD, they would
disclose their thoughts and opinions among each other.
Besides that, later when there is an aid or an accompaniment
measure in that village, it is expected continued to page 7...
NEWS ON CENTRAL SULAWESI EMERGENCY RESPONSE
KAREBA PALU KORO
THE CENTRAL SULAWESI EMERGENCY TRANSITION PHASE IS EXTENDED
PALU — The government of the Central Sulawesi Province has
extended the emergency transition phase for another 60 days
starting from 25 December 2018 to 23 February 2019. This is the
second extension which is done by the government. The first
extension was from 26 October 2018 to 25 December 2018.
This decision was made by the Central Sulawesi Governor,
Longki Djanggola, during the Forkompinda Coordination Meeting
with the National Agency for the Disaster Management (in
Indonesian: BNPB), The Ministry of Public Work and Community
Housing (in Indonesian: PUPR), the Donggala and Sigi Districts
Government, on Friday, 21 December 2018 in the governor’s office.
The decision to extend the emergency transition phase was
made after listening the explanation from each stakeholder and
looking at the development in the field.
“A number of stakeholders such as District Heads and BNPB
requested for an extension because there were still a lot of things
that should be addressed,” said Longki.
During the meeting, Longki also requested the District Heads of
Donggala, Sigi and the Palu Major to complete the data collection
process soon before the end of December which should be
accompanied with the District Head/Major Official Decision Letter.
The data is important to be used as a reference to distribute aid,
stimulant fund, compensation, temporary shelters and permanent
shelters allocations.
The data covers the number of dead and injured causalities,
internally displaced people, temporary shelters need and the
current condition of the survivors.
The casualties and survivors’ data should be completed with
names and addresses in order the aids can be distributed to the
correct targets.
“I request that this can be completed by this month. The data
would be consolidated and reported to the President,” said
Longki.
The Task Force Head of the PUPR Ministry for the Central
Sulawesi Post Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction, Arie
Setiadi, said that the Task Force expected an emergency transition
phase extension because the temporary shelters development
had not fully finished yet.
At the moment the PUPR Ministry has only completed 110 units
from the 1,200 units target.
“Meanwhile the 220 temporary shelter units in Palu, 193 units in
Sigi and 140 units Donggala are still in process,” said Arie during
the Central Sulawesi Government press conference.
The extension of the emergency transition phase was also
requested by the Head of the Central Sulawesi Province Social
Agency, Ridwan Mulu, the Head of the Road Construction and
Maintenance (in Indonesia Bina Marga), the Head of Spatial Plan
Agency, Syaifullah Djafar and also the BNPB Logistic Deputy, Rudi
Phadmanto.
The emergency transition extension aims to make the aid
distribution access become more straightforward to support
the disaster impacts recovery process. (Patarudin/Ika Ningtyas. Source: Kabar Sulteng Bangkit)

KAREBA PALU KORO
Masnani and Risnawati looked cheerful when Kareba Palu Koro met them again in the evacuation post in Panau Village on Wednesday, 26 November 2018. It was very different from their condition when Kareba Palu Koro met both of them 5 days before. At that time Masnani was in a room inside her temporary shelter. Meanwhile, Risnawati has joint dislocation on her left hand.
Masnani and Risnawati are two of the survivors from the
tsunami that hit the place where they live in Kelurahan Panau.
“I was drowning in the water,” said Masnani recalling the
tsunami in last September 2018.
“I can’t think of anything, I just surrender my life, my body hit
many stuffs. Even there was a nail stick in my body,” she added.
Those bumps caused her left leg experience a joint dislocation
and she suffered from a painful felling in her waist.
It’s different from Risnawati, she shared her story that she was
thrown away from her house and her body hit something hard.
“The left part of my body was very painful, I was not able to
move,” she said. Her left arm experienced joint dislocation which
was quite severe. Her left leg and right hand also got injured but
not too bad.
Knowing that condition, Gede Arya Wibawa immediately went
to Panau village to meet both of them. Gede Arya Wibawa, who
is usually called Pakde has a special skill to do muscle massages
and to transfer his healing inner power. Pakde is in Palu with
PERDHAKI organization that provides health services for the
survivors and it is a member of the ERCB consortium during the
emergency response phase in Central Sulawesi.
Gede Arya Wibawa was born in Tabanan, Bali, on 3rd July 1957.
After graduating from his Senior High School, Pakde continued
his study in a Nurse Academy (AKPER) St. Borromeus Bandung.
Because of his achievement and skills during his study when he
graduated from the AKPER and he was directly assigned in St.
Borromeus operation room.
“Pakde’s involvement with PERDHAKI was started during
the tsunami in Aceh in December 2004, said Irene Kusuma
the PERDHAKI Program Manager. “Then he also joined in Nias
earthquake response in March 2005 and Yogyakarta earthquake
in May 2006 and West Sumatera earthquake in March 2007,” she
added.
After retired from Borromeus Hospital in Bandung, Pakde
worked as a lecturer in a nurse academy and an operation
assistant in a private clinic. When the earthquake, tsunami and
liquefaction hit Central Sulawesi, Pakde was heartfelt called to
join the PERDHAKI medical team again and help the survivors to
get a standard medical service.
“The main point is to serve. How we serve wholeheartedly the
community, in this matter the impacted community,” said Pakde
to Kareba Palu Koro.
“Seeing the smiles of the cured people becomes a distinctive
happiness that is so precious and can’t be compared to anything,
my tired and weary feeling are all disappear at once,” he said.
Besides his expertise in nursing, he is also an expert in prana
energy healing. There are quite many survivors who get better
from their injuries or joints dislocation caused by the earthquake.
“I use this technic (medical treatment and prana energy) to
reduce the use of medicines in the healing process,” said Pakde.
“Besides that, I would like the people that I help feel
comfortable. Comfortable means that they can do their routine
activities again. Of course, the pains are still there, however at
least they are reduced a lot,” he added.
Pakde’s intention to share also motivates him to always involve
in humanitarian works in disaster locations. “I’m pension already,
my family has been blessed with sufficiency. As long as I’m
capable, I would like continued to page 6...

KAREBA PALU KORO
Since its initial involvement in the Palu,
Sigi and Donggala (in Indonesian: Pasigala)
emergency response, the ERCB team has
implemented its intervention in 15 villages
and kelurahan that were spread in three
districts in Central Sulawesi for more or less
3 months. To see the process deeper and
the achievements hat have been gained,
during 17-18 Decembers 2018, the ERCB
team organized a two-day evaluation
meeting in Yogyakarta.
“We would share each organization’s
experience during our joint response
in Palu, its happiness and sadness, we
provide the time for all of you to share
the experience here,” said Johan Rachmat
Santosa, the Karina Yogyakarta Program
Coordinator.
The meeting was attended by all of the ERCB consortium
members, namely: Yayasan Pusaka Indonesia (YPI), Bina Swadaya,
LPTP, Perdhaki and also the local partners, namely: Yayasan Merah
Putih (YPM) and Karsa Institute. The evaluation process discussed
the intervention achievements, the undergone process and what
would be done next.
“We have done something extraordinary with the huge number
of goods that we should distribute and the program that we are
working on with limited number of people,” said Sutikno Sutantio
from Karina Yogyakarta as the ERCB Coordinator.
During the implementation, ERCB has distributed food items
namely 100 tons of rice to 4000 households, 12,164 kg cooking
oil for 3,041 households and 618.5 preserved fish for 2,474
households. The non-food items in the form of 2.175 hygiene
kits for 2,175 households, 323 family kits for 323 households. In
the water and sanitation sector (Watsan), ERCB distributed 35
units of water tanks to 17 villages, 297 unit of water purifiers in 15
villages and 25 package of waste bins in 2 kelurahan. The activity
that is still ongoing in this sector is the development of 17 units
of bathing, washing and toilet facilities (11 units are completed)
for 9 villages and 9 points of piping system in 7 villages (4 points
are finished). For the development of a mini final waste site,
was replaced by the provision of 1 truck unit with its cargo bed
because based on the assessment result, this is more beneficial.
About 3,110 impacted people received health service and
around 2,000 people got psychosocial service provided by
Perdhaki team. From the child protection area, there are 7 Child
Friendly Zones that were built to provide playing and learning
spaces for 631 children. YPI held a capacity building activity
for 25 local community facilitators in order them to be able to
accompany the children.
This meeting also produced some recommendation from each
organization, agreement on the coordination improvement, data
and data collection improvement and increasing the response
speed. The ERCB joint protocol was discussed again to reflect each
of the ERCB member organization’s role and task.
“So in our joint protocol, we would see actually whether what
we have been doing corresponds to what we’ve planned, when
they fit already then we see the role division,” said Johan.
Learning from the disaster response experiences from different
disaster areas which were shared during this meeting, ERCB is
prepared to improve and increase its intuitional quality.
Each of the ERCB consortium also stated their commitment to
continuously involve in the next phase, namely the rehabilitation
and reconstruction phase.
At the moment ERCB is doing Post Disaster Need Assessment
(Jitupasna). The assessment covers 15 villages/kelurahan in the
three impacted districts. The assessment will be implemented
until January 2019.
The assessment findings will be used as a ground for
determining the next intervention.
As the local partners, YMP and Karsa Institute during the
evaluation meeting also stated their commitment to continuously
involve in the ERCB implemented programs. (mf/mdk)

KAREBA PALU KORO
My high spirit was slowly devastated, my expectation to provide the best for the children in my village is melting and carried away with the muddy flow that hit Hamlet 3, our village. My eyes started to burst into tears, staring at the piles of the construction debris in the children friendly space (in Indonesian RRA) that had just been joyfully used for 2 months. It’s still clear in my vision that children were playing hula hoop, puzzle, learning to read, writing and counting under the tent which were full of balloons and ribbons.
That’s the emotion disclosed by Dewi
Fatimah, the Pelangi Salua Kindergarten
teacher, who also becomes a volunteer
in the RRA that is managed by Pusaka
Indonesia Foundation (YPI) through the
ERCB consortium.
Days before, on Tuesday afternoon
(11/12), flash flood struck Salua Village,
Kulawi Sub-District, Sigi District, especially
in RT 1 and RT 2 that are located in Hamlet
3 area. The flash flood caused the RRA
facility that was located in Hamlet 3 was
carried away so that the learning and
playing service for the children stopped.
“The RRA activities has stopped for
more than three days, the learning and
playing activities for the children could not
be continued,” said Dewi.
The most devastated one is that I was
not able to look at and to answer the
children’s questions: Mam, when will we
be able to play in the RRA again? Mam, are
there still puzzles of balls that we can play
with?” she added to the conversation.
Post the flash flood, the RRA cannot
be used anymore since the RRA tent
and construction were collapsed flat to
the ground. Almost all of the toys were
damaged and they broke apart. To build
the RRA in the same place is not possible
because it’s considered as a flood prone
area.
Marjoko and Khairul Amri, as the
implementing team in the field tried to do
a discussion related to the re-development
of the RRA with the Salua Village Head,
Yohanis Romang, and some related
stakeholders. It was decided that the new
RRA would be established in Hamlet 1.
“Just like last time, we encouraged
the community participation in the
re-establishment of the RRA in Salua.
The community shared their roles in the
material and equipment provision and also
the workers who would build the RRA,”
said Marjoko.
YPI also provided financial assistance in
addition to the logistics distribution for
the 89 family heads who were affected
by the flash flood. The Salua community
members voluntarily allocated some
material and available equipment to re-
build the RRA, and also the workers. Some
tarpaulin sheets were provided by the
village head.
More or less one week after the flash
flood hit Salua Village, the new RRA has
been ready. The learning and playing tools
for the children are also already available.
There are around 160 children learn and
play again in the new RRA.
“I’m so pleased, seeing the kids are
joyful again after our village hit by the two
disasters, the earthquake and flash flood.
Thank you to all stakeholders who have
made the Salua children’s dream come
true to be able to learn and play again,”
said Dewi.
Salua Village, especially Hamlet 3, still
face a challenge in providing temporary
shelters and in relocating people and also
public facilities that are located in the
hamlet.
“The Kindergarten, Elementary School
and Junior High School Headmasters
asked about where are the good places to
relocate the school facilities because those
schools and also a market are currently
located in the Hamlet 3 that is affected by
the flash flood,” said Yohanis.
Whether there is an earthquake or not,
Salua Village, especially Hamlet 3, has
potential flooding risks almost every year
during a rainy season. It requires a thought
and correct solutions to minimize the
future hazard risks that would affect the
community who live in that area. (mdk)

to do something for others. Besides that, it becomes a distinctive
pride when Perdhaki Team and I are able to make the service is
more lively,” disclosed Pakde.
What is meant by lively here is not just doing the medical
routine works and services, however we also greet and show our
empathy to the survivors.
“It’s a happiness for the team when looking at the survivors who
felt painful before but now could get up or walk again and smile
after the medication.
Masnani and Risnawati also passed their gratefulness to Pakde.
Without him, the pains that they suffered from wouldn’t be
reduced. (mdk)

that those supports would fit in the local community needs.
“Jitupasna aims that the post disaster recovery efforts would orientate to the fully recovery of the human dignity,” said Agung.
Titik added, “The Jitupasna result which is done by the ERCB team is also useful to help the government, other private sectors and
also NGO who would like to do accompaniment in the village during the rehabilitation and reconstruction phase.”
“It’s expected to be able to help the Districts Government and other private sectors in doing verification on the damage impacts
and calculating the post disaster needs. When for example, we are only able to implement measures required in 3 villages, thus other
organizations may help the other villages by referring to the result of ERCB’s Jitupasna,” said Titik.
The Jitupasna is targeted to be organized in 15 villages that become the ERCB intervention locations. In Sigi District, there are 7
villages (Boladangko, Bolapapu, Tangkulawi, Omu, Tuva, and Lewara), in Donggala District, there are 5 villages (Loli Pesua, Loli Saluran,
Lampo, Limboro, and Salumbone) and 4 kelurahan (the same as a village – but it’s located in a city) in Palu City (Panau, Tondo, Lambara,
and Buluri). Until this article is written, the Jitupasna has been conducted in 7 locations, i.e. Panau Kelurahan, Tondo Kelurahan, Loli Pada
Village, Lampo Village, Tangkulowi Village, Boladangko Village and Bolapapu Village.
“The first preparation training for the Jitupasna facilitators (Jitupasna tools socialization) was held on the 30 November 2018 which
was attended by 30 participants from the ERCB local partners (Karsa, Awam Green and YMP),“ added Ilham Syaiful Huda from LPTP.
The purpose of the training was in order the participants understand the objectives of the Jitupasna, and they are able to apply the
Jitupasna method and tools. Besides that, the second training (Jitupasna result evaluation) was conducted on 11 December 2018 and it
was attended by 25 participants from the ERCB local partners (Karsa, Awam Green and YMP) in Villa Sutan Raja, Mantikulore Kelurahan,
East Palu Sub-District, Palu. The objective was in order the participants understand the Jitupasna flow, targets and are able to develop a
Jitupasna document.
The Jitupasna would not become the only post disaster need assessment, however, there would be a Participatory Disaster Risk
Appraisal (PDRA) in order to get a thorough risk assessment towards the current condition that would become the ground for
developing a recommendation for the rehabilitation and reconstruction plan that pays more attention to the disaster risks. (ta/mdk)
