Geographical information system for disaster relief distribution on natural disaster response

Abstract

The geographic information system that was designed was a geographic information system as a tool for the distribution process of earthquake and tsunami disasters in Padang City. This design is based on the problems that occur on the process of distributing the disaster relief such as obstruction of the distribution process of disaster relief due to abnormal road conditions, lack of information about the data of disaster relief needs at the evacuation posts so that the disaster relief provided does not match with the disaster relief needed on the evacuation post. Based on these problems, the system designed aims to provide information on optimal disaster relief distribution routes, as well as providing information about the disaster relief needs data so that the process of exchanging information about disaster relief needs data can be done more effectively. The determination of the disaster relief distribution network is using the Dijkstra Algorithm. That the shortest distribution path is obtained using the Dijkstra Algorithm with assuming that the path is traversed only to the main lane and the bridge that can be traversed is only the bridge in the Tsunami green zone. The system design is done using the waterfall method. The results obtained are that the system has four main functions. The first is to provide the optimal distribution routes, providing information about the shelter location data, providing information about disaster relief needs data, and providing information about disaster relief needs stock data. The distribution channel in the system consists of 5 safe routes to pass with the starting point is the Management Operation Center of Regional Disaster Management Authority. This research was conducted to simplify the process of distributing disaster relief because at this time officers who carry out the evacuation process are still doing data recap manually.
