COVER STORY Helping Students Take Charge of Disaster Preparedness The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) stated that in 2016, the total number of natural disasters was a record 2,342 events, of which, more than 90% were hydrometeorological in nature. In 2017, flooding and landslides are predicted to continue to increase at a rapid pace. A Japanese study found that the main factor affecting the survival rate when facing a natural disaster is preparedness. USAID’s Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience program (USAID APIK) works together with BNPB as well as the Local Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in three provinces to build the capacity of local communities, especially among groups that are particularly vulnerable such as children, to be more resilient should disaster happen. In Southeast Sulawesi Province, USAID APIK along with BPBD and the local Education Agency conducted an initial vulnerability assessment on schools. After a field survey, two elementary schools in West Kendari, Elementary School 6 and 8, were identified as being prone to flooding. In response, USAID APIK conducted a series of training activities from April to early May 2017 on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, held workshops on participative disaster risk assessment, and established Disaster Preparedness Units for the schools. However the existence of the disaster unit is not an end, rather it is a means to achieving disaster preparedness. After the team was established, USAID APIK helped formulate Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), established evacuation routes, disseminated maps, and installed evacuation route signs, which ensure that all students know what to do before, during, and after disaster strikes. Evacuation drills that included local stakeholders such as the Students of Elementary School 6 were drawing map of their Transportation Agency and the school and identified risk around the area in Participative Disaster Community Health Center were also Risk Assessment conducted on May 3, 2017. conducted at both schools on May 18, 2017. Almost 500 students participated in the evacuation drill. Mr. Abidin, head of the Disaster Preparedness Unit of Elementary School 6, said that, “During the flood that hit a few weeks ago, the teachers managed to secure important documents from the school before the flood hit. In the past, we could only think about our own safety. We did not know anything about preparedness, but since USAID APIK came, we are more aware of what we should do when disasters happen. We know where to go, what to do, and the routes we should take. We are better prepared.” ADAPTASI PERUBAHAN IKLIM DAN KETANGGUHAN (APIK) – QUARTERLY REPORT 3 YEAR 2 1 USAID APIK used a similar approach in Maluku Province to support BPBD to create disaster resilient schools in Ambon City. USAID APIK supported capacity building of junior high school students to become volunteers at their school’s newly created Disaster Preparedness Unit. The students learned, among other things, about leadership, characteristics of disasters, the relationship between weather and natural disasters, rescue & evacuation, and first aid. “I learned that when a disaster happens, I should exit from the school building and go to safer place. Now I know where to go and what to do,” mentioned Centia Sahetapi, a student of Ambon 8 Junior High School. As a result, around 100 students from five junior high school in Ambon now understand how to identify disaster risks around their school, know evacuation routes, have proper skills for first aid response, and are able to formulate SOPs on disaster management for their schools. They also conducted simulations on May 17, 2017 to test SOPs and disseminate awareness and skills throughout schools and surrounding neighborhoods. In Batu City, East Java Province more than 200 students from several Elementary and Junior High Schools spent their weekend participating in Disaster Preparedness Camp, conducted by USAID APIK. During the two-day camp, they gained new skills and knowledge on disaster preparedness from training provided by BPBD and the Indonesian Red Cross. The timing of the event, April 22- 23, 2017 was also a way to celebrate National Disaster Preparedness Day that is commemorated every April 26. The camp concluded with the students taking action by planting trees along the banks of the Brantas River, which reduces the area’s risk to landslides. USAID APIK’s intervention in Southeast Sulawesi, Maluku, and East Java Provinces helped ensure that some of the province’s most vulnerable residents—children—are better prepared when faced with hydrometereological disasters like floods and landslides. Head of the Ambon Disaster Management Agency, Enrico Matitaputty stated that, “I hope there will be five more Disaster Resilient Schools in Ambon City that can be covered through the government’s budget especially for those with high disaster risks.” With time, the approach and model can be replicated in other schools across the province with sustainable support and commitment from the local government, helping to improve disaster preparedness for decades to come.
