Natural Disaster Mitigation Management in the case of Mount Tangkuban Parahu Eruption in West Java

Abstract

Disaster prevention and recovery in Indonesia is one of the most important sectors. Indonesia as a disaster-prone country must certainly be able to carry out disaster management properly. This is important so that losses arising from disasters do not hamper national development and progress. The purpose of this research is to conduct a study on the Management of Eruption Natural Disaster Mitigation in Mount Tangkuban Parahu in order to be able to prepare themselves in facing various disaster threats, essentially, qualitatively, which can provide a more effective and efficient picture of the problem. The data collection technique was carried out by direct observation to the West Java provincial BPBD, and the location area was likely affected by the eruption of Mount Tangkuban Parahu which was the object of research by the researchers themselves assisted by the research members, as well as collecting data/information related to the research material. In addition, data collection is also carried out through structured interviews to capture information that cannot be obtained through observation. One of the efforts of the regional government in the area of prevention and preparedness of the Regional Disaster Management Agency of West Java Province is to prepare themselves in facing various disaster threats. Mitigation Management is a life analysis that must be reviewed periodically by policymakers. In principle, commitments or agreements with stakeholders in disaster management planning are mapped in detail, structured and comprehensive.
