The activity alert level of volcano is ranging from 1 (Normal) to 4 (Awas) with 4 being the most critical one. Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction (DRR) During November various activities were undertaken by different national and international actors to further strengthen capacities to prepare for and respond to disasters. The National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) conducted training and simulation for Rapid Response Task Force for Disaster Management (SRC-PB) for Easter and Western Region in Malang and Bogor. The training and simulation aimed to strengthen technical capacities of the task forces from different line ministries, police, military and PMI. In mid November, the Ministry of Transportation in collaboration with DHL and UNDP with support from AIFDR and OCHA, conducted the Get Airport Ready for Disaster Training in Bali and Nusa Tenggara Timur to introduce the national legislation and system on disaster management and provide recommendations for Government of Indonesia to support policy formulation, especially contingency plans for airports to get ready for disasters. The country has 20 international airports and 70 domestic ones, and the readiness for disasters is the key for timely emergency response. On behalf of the Humanitarian Country Team, WFP facilitated an Emergency Response Simulation Exercise on 3-4 November in Jakarta.

Kesiapsiagaan Bencana dan Pengurangan Resiko (PRB) Ada beberapa kegiatan selama bulan November yang dilakukan aktor-aktor nasional dan internasional yang berbeda untuk lebih memperkuat kapasitas untuk mempersiapkan dan menanggapi bencana. Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) melakukan pelatihan dan simulasi Satuan Reaksi Cepat – Penanggulangan Bencana (SRC-PB) untuk wilayah Timur dan Wilayah Barat di Malang dan Bogor. Pelatihan dan simulasi tersebut bertujuan untuk memperkuat kapasitas teknis dari satuan yang berasal dari kementerian yang berbeda, POLRI, TNI dan PMI. Pada pertengahan November, Kementerian Perhubungan bekerja sama dengan DHL dan UNDP dengan dukungan dari AIFDR dan OCHA melakukan Pelatihan “Get Airport Ready for Disaster” di Bali dan Nusa Tenggara Timur untuk memperkenalkan perundang-undangan dan Sistem nasional dibidang Penanganan Bencana dan memberikan rekomendasi kepada Pemerintah Indonesia untuk mendukung perumusan kebijakan, terutama rencana kontinjensi untuk kesiapan bandara untuk bencana. Indonesia memiliki 20 bandara internasional dan 70 bandara domestik, dan kesiapan bencana adalah kunci untuk tanggap darurat yang tepat waktu.

The purpose of the simulation was to gain a better understanding of roles and responsibilities of the Government and the Cluster system, strengthen partnership, coordination and communication between BNPB, line ministries, and the cluster system. Further, it tested the preparedness and response measures, particularly the inter-agency contingency plan, and the cluster approach with the Government. It also aimed to strengthen understanding of the importance of coordination and leadership in an emergency response, as well as, identify lessons learned, and next steps to improve emergency response and preparedness. BNPB hosted a workshop for socialization of the Regulation of the Head of BNPB Number 22 Year 2010 Guideline on the Role of the International Organizations and Foreign Non-government Organizations during emergency. The workshop highlighted the need for the international community, relevant government institutions, and BNPB to work more closely for the implementation of the regulation. A simulation exercises is planned to be held early next year.

Tujuan dari simulasi ini adalah untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang peran dan tanggung jawab Pemerintah dan sistem cluster, memperkuat kemitraan, koordinasi dan komunikasi antara BNPB, kementerian dan sistem cluster. Selanjutnya, menguji langkah-langkah kesiapsiagaan dan respon, khususnya rencana kontingensi antar lembaga, dan pendekatan cluster dengan Pemerintah. Latihan ini juga bertujuan untuk memperkuat pemahaman mengenai pentingnya koordinasi dan kepemimpinan dalam tanggap darurat serta mengidentifikasi pembelanjaran, dan langkah selanjutnya untuk meningkatkan tanggap darurat dan kesiapsiagaan. BNPB mengadakan lokakarya untuk sosialisasi Peraturan Kepala BNPB Nomor 22 Tahun 2010 tentang Pedoman Peran Organisasi Internasional dan Asing Non-Pemerintah pada saat tanggap darurat. Lokakarya ini menyoroti kebutuhan bagi komunitas internasional, lembaga pemerintah terkait dan BNPB untuk bekerja lebih erat untuk pelaksanaan peraturan tersebut. Pelatihan simulasi ini rencananya akan diadakan awal tahun depan.
