This study aims to analyze the role of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of East Flores Regency in managing the eruption disaster of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki during the pre-disaster, emergency response, and post-disaster phases. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method involving 18 informants from BPBD and affected communities in Wulanggitang and Ile Bura Sub-districts. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that during the pre-disaster phase, BPBD implemented preparedness measures through disaster-prone area mapping, the establishment of Disaster Preparedness Teams and Disaster-Resilient Villages, public outreach, and the use of local wisdom. However, outdated contingency plans, limited early warning systems, weak relocation efforts, and low public awareness contributed to panic and casualties during the eruption. In the emergency response phase, BPBD successfully coordinated evacuation efforts, established emergency posts, and distributed logistics effectively. Nevertheless, displaced communities experienced discomfort due to prolonged emergency conditions and limited fulfillment of basic needs in temporary shelters. In the post-disaster phase, BPBD conducted rehabilitation and reconstruction through transportation recovery, trauma healing programs, and permanent housing development based on the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Plan (R3P). However, limited funding and delays in reconstruction processes remained major challenges. Therefore, improving coordination, institutional capacity, disaster communication, and community participation is essential for effective disaster management.

This community service activity aimed to build a disaster preparedness culture through earthquake and tsunami simulation activities at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Suak Timah, West Aceh Regency. The activity was motivated by the high risk of earthquake and tsunami disasters in the coastal area of West Aceh and the limited understanding of students regarding disaster mitigation and evacuation procedures. This program was carried out through collaboration between the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of West Aceh Regency, lecturers from the Civil Engineering Department of Teuku Umar University, the Samatiga Community Health Center, and the school. The methods used included education, socialization, demonstrations, and direct simulations regarding self-rescue actions during earthquakes and tsunamis. The simulation was conducted at Suak Timah Football Field as the evacuation gathering point. The results showed an increase in students’ and school members’ knowledge and preparedness in facing disasters. Participants were able to understand evacuation routes, perform self-protection actions, and follow evacuation procedures in an orderly and rapid manner. Evaluation results indicated that disaster mitigation understanding reached 85%, self-rescue ability 88%, accuracy in following evacuation routes 90%, discipline during simulation 92%, and participant involvement reached 95%. This activity also encouraged the formation of a disaster awareness culture and the emergence of active student roles as preparedness pioneers within the school environment. Therefore, disaster simulation proved to be an effective educational medium in improving the capacity and preparedness of school communities toward earthquake and tsunami risks.

This study is motivated by the importance of financial and asset management strategies in supporting the operational effectiveness of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Central Sulawesi, which plays a strategic role in disaster mitigation, preparedness, emergency response, and post-disaster recovery. The main problems addressed are how financial and asset management strategies are implemented, to what extent they affect operational effectiveness. The objectives of this research are to analyze the applied strategies, assess their influence on operational effectiveness, and identify challenges as well as relevant solutions.The literature review refers to public financial management theories, regional asset management, and previous studies highlighting the relationship between financial governance, accountability, and public sector performance. This study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through literature study, observation, interviews, and questionnaires distributed to BPBD staff in finance and asset divisions. The analysis included validity and reliability tests, along with multiple linear regression to examine the effect of independent variables on operational effectiveness. The findings show that BPBD Central Sulawesi’s financial management strategy in 2024 achieved a realization rate of 89–100% in most programs, although imbalances were found in certain activities such as the disaster management system arrangement, which only reached 38%. In terms of asset management, fixed assets dominate with a book value of IDR 19.6 billion, with significant growth in equipment and machinery. Regression analysis results indicate an R² value of 0.817, meaning that 81.7% of operational effectiveness is influenced by financial and asset management strategies, while the remaining 18.3% is explained by other factors.The study concludes that financial and asset management strategies significantly affect BPBD’s operational effectiveness. Nevertheless, challenges such as limited human resources, inadequate information systems, and discrepancies in budget realization require solutions through capacity building, technology utilization, and improved planning mechanisms to optimize disaster management effectiveness.

The flood disaster that hit Medan City caused a multidimensional impact on the community, especially the psychological impact experienced by the victims. In addition to material losses, flood victims often face emotional distress in the form of anxiety, stress, trauma, and a sense of loss. This study aims to examine the role and effectiveness of individual counseling in dealing with the psychological problems of post-flood victims. The research method uses a qualitative approach with case studies through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of victims who receive individual counseling services. The results show that individual counseling plays an important role in helping victims understand their emotional state, manage stress, and rebuild hope and resilience after disasters. Individualized counseling also provides a safe space for victims to express their feelings, gain support, and develop adaptive strategies in dealing with trauma. These findings confirm that psychological interventions based on individual counseling can be one of the effective approaches in disaster victim recovery, especially floods, so that it can strengthen psychosocial aspects and improve the quality of life after disasters. Thus, this research contributes to the development of more responsive and sustainable counseling services in the context of disaster management in Indonesia.

Flash floods are a hydrometeorological disaster that frequently strikes Indonesia, including East Aceh. Their impacts include not only physical damage but also social and economic disruption to residents. This article describes a community service activity involving the distribution of community donations to flash flood survivors in Pante Bidari District. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this article analyzes the process of collecting, managing, and distributing aid and links it to theoretical findings in the scientific literature on disaster management, social solidarity, and community resilience. The literature review indicates that local community involvement significantly influences the effectiveness of disaster management (Hariyal & Anhar, 2015); (Faiz, 2025) The results of this activity indicate that community-based aid distribution can accelerate the fulfillment of basic needs, strengthen social networks, and increase the social resilience of affected communities. Thus, this activity confirms that strengthening solidarity among residents is a crucial component in disaster emergency response. Community-based aid distribution not only ensures targeted assistance but also fosters a spirit of mutual cooperation that strengthens long-term social resilience.

Kaloran Village is an area characterized by steep slope topography that makes it vulnerable to landslides, especially during the rainy season with high rainfall intensity. Although the landslide risk level in this village is still relatively low and has never caused any casualties, the potential for material losses and psychosocial impacts that may arise still need to be seriously anticipated. Disaster risk reduction efforts in Kaloran Village are carried out through the Disaster Resilient Village Work Program (Destana), which aims to increase the capacity and capability of the community in facing disaster threats. The program implementation method consists of three main stages: preparation through focus group discussions (FGDs) and interviews with stakeholders, preparation of the Destana document containing mitigation strategies and steps, and community empowerment through socialization activities and preparedness training. The results of the study indicate that Kaloran Village is categorized as a Medium Resilient Village with a resilience score of 68.97. This achievement serves as an important basis for strengthening the village preparedness system, which is followed up with the establishment of the Disaster Risk Reduction Forum (FPRB) "Kaloran Tangguh Rescue" as a community coordination forum. In addition, evacuation route maps were produced, which serve as technical guidance in the event of a disaster, and the development of the Destana (Disaster Preparedness and Disaster Management) and Contingency Plan (Renkon) documents, which serve as official guidelines for disaster mitigation and management efforts at the village level. This program demonstrates that active community participation, collaboration between stakeholders, and the development of strategic documents can strengthen village preparedness for the threat of landslides.

In the rapidly changing digital and global era, organizations are required to be adaptive and innovative to survive and compete sustainably. Employee performance is one of the strategic factors in supporting organizational success. This research is motivated by the urgency of improving performance through innovative work behavior (IWB) and work engagement, which are considered two key elements in addressing the challenges of modern organizations. The main objective of this study is to analyze the effect of IWB on employee performance and evaluate the mediating role of work engagement in this relationship. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method, and was conducted on employees of the Batu City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). The results of the analysis indicate that IWB has a positive and significant influence on work engagement and employee performance. In addition, work engagement is also proven to act as a partial mediator that strengthens the relationship between IWB and performance. This means that the higher the innovative behavior of employees, the higher their engagement in work, which ultimately has a positive impact on performance improvement. These findings enrich the theoretical literature, particularly supporting theoretical frameworks such as Social Exchange Theory, Self-Determination Theory, Job Demands-Resources Model, and Conservation of Resources Theory. Practical implications of this research suggest that organizations need to create a work environment that supports innovative behavior and enhances employee work engagement by providing autonomy, recognition, and opportunities for self-development. This research suggests further studies to explore other contextual factors, such as organizational culture, transformational leadership, and supervisor support, which have the potential to strengthen the relationship between IWB, work engagement, and employee performance in various organizational sectors.  

 Matra Health is a form of health service specifically designed to maintain and improve public health in dynamic, complex, and constantly changing environmental conditions. This service plays a very vital role, especially in facing and handling various types of disasters, both natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides, as well as non-natural disasters such as residential fires. One form of non-natural disaster that often occurs in densely populated areas is residential fires. This is caused by various factors such as unsafe electrical installations, a lack of public awareness of the dangers of fire, and buildings that are not resistant to heat or fire. Residential fires not only cause physical damage to buildings and infrastructure, but also cause various health problems, ranging from burns, respiratory problems due to smoke exposure, to psychological trauma, especially in vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women. In response to these conditions, a dimensional health intervention activity was carried out from June 23 to 26, 2025 in areas affected by the fires under the coordination of the South Sumatra Regional Crisis Center. This activity aims to reduce health risk factors that arise after the fires through a series of actions such as multi-sector health surveillance, public health education, and distribution of logistical assistance. The activity also includes conducting rapid assessments using the Rapid Health Assessment (RHA) method, providing education on fire impact prevention, and distributing supplementary food to vulnerable groups. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in public understanding of the dangers of fire and the importance of preparedness for its impacts. Furthermore, the need to strengthen cross-sectoral coordination, such as health, disaster management, and social sectors, in disaster management was identified. It is hoped that this activity can serve as a model for strengthening community-based emergency response systems.

This study examines landslide disasters through a scientific interpretation approach to the verses of the Qur'an, focusing on the landslide incident at the Cilowong Final Waste Disposal Site (TPSA), Banten. Landslide disasters are not only viewed as natural events, but also as a form of divine warning reflected in QS. Ar-Rum verse 41. This study was conducted using the thematic method (maudhu'i) and a qualitative approach through literature and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the verses of the Qur'an contain scientific signs that can be aligned with contemporary science, but still require a careful interpretation method so as not to deviate from their original meaning. The landslide case in Cilowong reflects the negative impacts of unwise environmental management and emphasizes the need for synergy between religious values ​​and scientific knowledge in disaster management efforts. This study emphasizes the importance of collective awareness in preserving nature while making the Qur'an a spiritual guide in understanding and responding to natural phenomena.    

This study aims to determine the effect of training, compensation, and work facilities on employee performance at the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Langsa City. The approach used in this research is quantitative, with a population of 156 employees. The sample determination in this study is a random sampling technique, and the calculation uses the Slovin formula with an error rate of 5% (0.05), so that the number of respondents in this study is 112 people. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression, t test for partial analysis, F test for simultaneous analysis, and the coefficient of determination test (Adjusted R²). So from the results of multiple linear regression, the equation Y = 10.491 + 0.247X₁ + 0.275X₂ + 0.255X₃ is obtained. Thus, based on the t-test results, it shows that training has a significant value (t sig.) of 0.000 < 0.05, compensation of 0.001 < 0.05, and work facilities of 0.012 < 0.05. This result indicates that training, compensation, and work facilities significantly affect employee performance at BPBD Langsa City. Furthermore, the F test results show a significant value (F sig.) of 0.000 < 0.05, which explains that training, compensation, and work facilities simultaneously significantly influence employee performance. The coefficient of determination test (Adjusted R²) produces a value of 0.336, which indicates that the variables of training, compensation, and work facilities affect employee performance by 33.6%. The remaining 66.4% is influenced by other variables not included in this study, such as occupational safety and health (OHS), work stress, work experience, competence, workload, job satisfaction, work culture, work discipline and external organisational factors.

This study aims to: (1) describe employee performance, transformational leadership style, and team collaboration: (2) analyze the influance of transformational leadership style and team collaboration on employee performance both partially and simultaneously. The population of this study comprised 35 employees from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Office of Sikka Regency. Due to the limited population, acensus or saturated sampling method was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, specifically multiple linear regression. Hypothesis testing was conducted using F-test and t-test. Descriptive analysis results indicate that the employee performance variable was categorized as good, the transformational leadership style variable as good, and the team collaboration variable as good. The statistical test results show that partially, the transformational leadership style variable had a positive and significant influance on employee performance. Additionally, the team collaboration variable had a positive and significant influence on employee performance. The F-test results indicate that simultaneously, both transformational leadership style and team collaboration variables significantly influence empployee performance. The determination analysis results indicate that both independent variables in this study explain 37,60% of the variability in the fluctuation of employee performance at the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Office of Sikka Regency.

This rescue effort by the village community institution in Mataram City is an important step in preserving valuable information related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between village expenditure and village income in various sectors such as village governance, village development, community development, and disaster management in Kotabari Village, Serdang Pedagai Regency, over the period of 2015-2022. The findings indicate that while village expenditure in the village government sector plays a role in influencing village income, expenditure in the areas of village development, community development, and disaster management does not have a significant impact on village income in Kotabari Village. To address this, the village government of Kotabari City aims to balance the distribution of village income by allocating no more than 40% of village expenditure to each sector. The government also plans to allocate funds towards community-focused activities, such as village-wide festivals, which aim to promote local small and medium-sized enterprises and introduce their products to a broader market, both within Indonesia and internationally. Furthermore, it is crucial for the Kotabari Village Government to be more strategic and productive in its budgeted expenditure allocation, as this can stimulate an increase in village income, particularly in terms of village-owned revenue, and move the village towards greater independence and financial sustainability.

This research was triggered by the lack of effectiveness in implementing flood management measures at the regional, village and community levels. Problem identification shows that the coastal area of ​​Tangerang Regency has a low risk of flooding and damage due to tidal waves, this was obtained from a preparedness study which showed a low regional resilience index, preparedness index and flood implementation capacity index. The aim of this research is to evaluate the implementation of Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Disaster Management in Flood Management in the Coastal Area of ​​Tangerang Regency. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, and data collection is carried out through observation, interviews and documentation. In its analysis, this research refers to Van Metter and Van Horn's theory which includes indicators such as policy standards and objectives, resources, inter-organizational relationships, characteristics of implementing agents, economic, social and political environmental conditions, and implementing arrangements. The research results show that policy standards and objectives have not been implemented optimally, and policy objectives do not have a significant impact according to existing regulations. BPBD Tangerang Regency is experiencing a shortage of resources, both in terms of the quality of human resources, budget and materials. Although relations between organizations are maintained, they have not yet reached optimal levels. Communication with village officials is not well informed to the community, so that synergy and cooperation with the community in Tanjung Burung and Tanjung Pasir Villages has not been fully realized, especially in the coastal areas of Tangerang Regency. There is a positive attitude of implementers towards policies, but realistic and preventive action is needed in disaster management. Economic, social and political environmental conditions do not fully support the implementation of disaster management.
