Handling disaster risks with the community-based approach

Abstract

The concept of disaster management experiences a paradigm shift from conventional to holistic. Conventional views consider disaster to be an inevitable event and the victim must immediately get help, so the focus of disaster management is emergency. The purpose of disaster management based on this view is to reduce the level of losses, damage and quickly restore the situation: mitigation and preventive paradigm which initially the emergency paradigm has changed into a development paradigm because every effort of prevention and mitigation to rehabilitation and reconstruction has been integrated into development programs in various sectors. The community certainly needs to understand the characteristics of the disaster in its own area, so that it can be avoided or at least reduce the risk so that it becomes a disaster resilient society [1]. The research method used in this research is survey method. Sampling in this study uses a total sampling technique, namely all disaster-prone areas in Southeast Sulawesi. To realize the synergy in achieving disaster risk reduction goals, the program implementation needs to strengthen the role (participation) and commitment of all components. To achieve the stated goals, each component is expected to take a role in accordance with the authority, main tasks and functions, and responsibilities to create a resilient and resilient society.
