Disaster risk management based on local wisdom in handling natural disaster victims

Natural disasters that occur affect the welfare of the community. This study aims to examine disaster risk management based on local wisdom to minimize natural disasters’ victims. It was conducted in five districts and cities, involving 100 respondents and using mixed methods. The results of the study found a community-based disaster management forum called KSB (disaster preparedness village). KSB’s partnership with stakeholders in the form of pre-disaster technical guidance and emergency response is well established. In the pre-disaster stage, KSB provides an early warning system to condition community preparedness. In the emergency response stage, KSB handles disaster victims according to standard operating procedures. In the post-disaster stage, KSB helps manage aid, find sources of support, and maintain infrastructure in refugee camps. Disaster Alert Village (KSB) manages logistics, but has not provided socio-psychological assistance to victims, and does not have a granary and social substation, but has not found involvement of groups with special needs and vulnerable in handling disaster victims; It is recommended the need for active involvement, social protection for the special needs and the vulnerable.
