| Summary: | Indonesia is a country that is prone to disasters. To this relation, the government has created the
National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD)
in almost all provinces. However, the magnitude of the potential for disaster causes the government
to feel the need for community support in disaster mitigation efforts. Community participation is
absolutely necessary. It is in this context that the emergence of the community, in this case, the Garda
Caah, is important. With the motto "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst," this community tries
to help residents in flood prevention efforts and minimize the impact of flooding by providing
immediate and continuous information. The aspect of managing communication and information is
the most important part of this community. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study
approach. The data collection techniques were carried out by interview, focus group discussion, and
observation. There are two main results of this study namely (1) self-management of flood disaster
anticipation based on the learning process, empowerment and volunteer activities, (2) the transition
of traditional information systems that are modest to a new information system that is based on
technology. |
