Abstract
Forest and peatland fires have become a seasonal challenge experienced in Riau Province. This disaster causes huge economic and environmental losses, accompanied by its alarming impact on human health. The haze as a result of land burning in this province is known to disrupt activities in neighbouring countries causing political and diplomatic tensions. To reduce the risk of forest and peatland fire, the Riau Regional Police developed the Lancang Kuning Nusantara (LKN) digital application. This study examines the general role of the application in reducing forest and peatland fire risks. A qualitative descriptive approach is adopted in analysing the primary data obtained through focus group discussion. Data from secondary sources were also obtained. Results from this study indicate that the use of the LKN digital application in Riau Province has helped immensely in the area of disaster risk communication and logistics support.
