INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION ON DISASTER RISK REDUCTION THROUGH INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM (ICS) WORKSHOP
Abstract
The community service aims to increase people’s knowledge of disaster risk reduction and introduce standardized procedures for responding to emergency situations, such as a fire. A collaborative project was conducted by the Chiba Institute of Science (CIS) in Japan, the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in Indonesia, and the Budi Luhur University (UBL) in Indonesia. This is not the first time the three parties have conducted a program together. This year, the collaborators improved many aspects, particularly the use of ICS in drills and the simulation of disaster areas. In addition to the two new components of the regular training, two new topics were added to enrich the discussion and discourse, as UBL’s strength lies in information technology. The program was designed to provide benefits to UBL's internal stakeholders (lecturers, staff, and students), as well as its partners, such as Budi Luhur High School students. Around 100 participants joined and showed optimism. The results show a positive response to the knowledge received, especially regarding the success of conducting the standardized drill without significant obstacles. Regularly organized trainings are imperative to preserving knowledge about disaster risk reduction and to prompting proper responses and procedural measures during emergency and crisis situations.
