Floods and landslides in Hutanabolon Village, Tukka District, Central Tapanuli Regency have disrupted access to food and health services, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children. Public kitchens, as the frontline of emergency nutrition response, face challenges in providing food that meets the specific nutritional needs of children. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of public kitchens at Disaster Emergency Response Posts (TDB) in meeting the nutritional needs of post-disaster children, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate recommendations for improving the public kitchen management system. The research employed a descriptive evaluative approach using survey methods, structured interviews, direct observation, 24-hour dietary recall, and anthropometric measurements (weight and height). The study subjects included 15 children aged 1–12 years and 8 public kitchen managers selected purposively. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing nutritional intake against the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) standards and analyzing kitchen management practices based on emergency nutrition guidelines. The findings revealed that children's average energy intake was only 1,140 kcal/day (below the minimum standard of 1,200–2,000 kcal/day) and protein intake was 18.7 g/day (below the standard of 20–35 g/day). A total of 33.3% of children were classified as having malnutrition to severe malnutrition based on weight-for-age indicators. Public kitchen management showed weaknesses in menu planning (100% had no child-specific menu), managers' nutritional knowledge (62.5% categorized as low), food availability (75% relied on instant aid without variation), and limited cross-sectoral coordination (50%). The effectiveness of public kitchens in meeting children's nutritional needs after disasters remains low.

Indonesia, as a country with a high level of disaster vulnerability, faces an increased risk of communicable diseases during the emergency response phase due to disrupted sanitation, limited access to clean water, overcrowded evacuation shelters, and weakened health services. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of health workers in health education and the prevention of communicable diseases during disaster emergency response. The method used is a literature review of relevant national and international scientific articles. The findings indicate that health workers have a multidimensional role, not only as providers of curative services but also as educators, change agents, advocates, and collaborators in promotive and preventive efforts. Effective health education, participatory risk communication, strengthened epidemiological surveillance, and the implementation of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) are key strategies to reduce the risk of communicable disease outbreaks. However, implementation in the field still faces challenges, including limited resources, cross-sectoral coordination constraints, heavy workloads, and suboptimal disaster-related policy systems and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Therefore, strengthening the capacity of health workers through training, policy support, and community-based approaches is necessary to enhance health system resilience in responding to disaster crises.

Aceh Tamiang Regency is one of the regions in Aceh Province that is highly vulnerable to annual flooding due to river overflow and high rainfall intensity. Flood disasters often cause significant material and non-material losses, which are exacerbated by the limited public understanding of flood mitigation, early warning signs, and appropriate self-rescue procedures. This community service activity aims to increase public awareness, knowledge, and preparedness in facing flood threats through disaster mitigation socialization programs. The method applied in this activity includes participatory socialization, interactive discussions, and simulations of emergency response actions involving local communities, village officials, and volunteers. The program emphasizes recognizing early signs of flooding, understanding emergency evacuation routes, and improving coordination during disaster response. The results indicate a significant improvement in community knowledge regarding flood risks, early warning indicators, and emergency measures that should be taken before and during flooding events. Furthermore, the activity successfully strengthened coordination between village authorities and local volunteers in managing emergency response posts and distributing aid effectively. Through this socialization program, the community of Aceh Tamiang is expected to develop greater disaster resilience and preparedness. Increased awareness and coordinated response mechanisms are anticipated to minimize the adverse impacts of future flooding events, thereby reducing potential losses and enhancing community safety.

This research aims to analyze the innovation in population services, called Duta Hatiku (Dukcapil Tanggap Bencana Harapan Timbul Kembali Utuh/Civil Registration Disaster Response: Hope Rises Again Completely), implemented by the Department of Population and Civil Registration (Disdukcapil) of Sidoarjo Regency. This innovation was developed as a quick response service for disaster victims who lost their identity documents. Drawing on the public service innovation theory of Mulgan and Albury, this study examines the novelty, implementation, and impact of the Duta Hatiku program. This qualitative research employs a descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation at Disdukcapil Sidoarjo during May-July 2025. Informants include program managers, field officers, disaster victims as service beneficiaries, and related stakeholders. The results indicate that the Duta Hatiku innovation has successfully provided rapid population document recovery services to disaster victims, with an average service completion time of only 2-3 days, compared to the standard 14 days. The program utilizes mobile service units equipped with portable equipment for on-site document processing at disaster locations. Since its implementation, the program has served 2,847 disaster victims from various incidents, including floods, fires, and landslides. The innovation demonstrates strong characteristics of novelty in service delivery approach, significant improvement in service accessibility, and positive impact on community resilience. This study recommends strengthening coordination with disaster management agencies, expanding mobile unit capacity, developing integrated database systems, and replicating the model to other regions.

Disasters are global phenomena that continue to increase in both frequency and impact, posing serious challenges to health systems worldwide. One of the crucial components in disaster management is the preparedness of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) during the pre-hospital phase, which determines the speed and effectiveness of the initial medical response. However, multiple studies indicate that EMS preparedness and response capacity remain suboptimal, particularly in areas such as personnel training, intersectoral coordination, communication systems, infrastructure, and policy support. This study aims to map the preparedness and emergency response capacity of EMS in disaster situations using a scoping review approach. The research follows the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley (2005), which includes formulating research questions, conducting literature searches, selecting relevant studies, extracting data, and synthesizing findings. Literature searches were conducted through PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases. From 114 identified records, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. The review reveals that EMS disaster preparedness varies across countries. The main factors influencing EMS response capacity include: (1) training and competency development of EMS personnel, (2) effectiveness of interagency coordination and communication, (3) availability of medical facilities and infrastructure, (4) national policy and system support, and (5) the use of technology to enhance response efficiency. This scoping review underscores the need for stronger national policies, improved cross-sectoral coordination, and sustainable capacity-building programs to enhance the effectiveness of EMS in disaster response, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia.

This community service was carried out in Pattongko Village, Central Sinjai District, by considering the location's vulnerability to natural disasters such as landslides and tornadoes. The high rainfall in the area is one of the leading causes of frequent natural disasters, compounded by the mountainous and hilly topography. These factors make the community highly susceptible to disasters that result in significant material and immaterial losses. The primary aim of this service activity was to build awareness and strengthen the community's disaster response capabilities, enabling the creation of a disaster-resilient village.The activity was conducted through socialization efforts involving various stakeholders, including the Pattongko village community, the village government, local youth groups, and the Sinjai Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), which served as the lead agency in disaster response in the region. Despite being a one-day event, the activity was expected to provide essential disaster education and training for the local population, enhancing their knowledge of disaster preparedness and response. By doing so, the initiative aimed to minimize the potential victims and the scale of losses caused by natural disasters in the future.This activity also supported broader government programs aimed at forming Disaster Resilient Villages. In the future, the program will be extended with further activities, such as establishing community disaster response teams, organizing disaster simulations, and strengthening disaster management protocols within the village. This long-term plan will ensure that the community remains well-prepared for any potential disaster events
