disaster management is essential

Bengkulu (8/15) - An understanding of basic disaster management is essential for ASN and other regional components that live in disaster prone areas.

Disaster Management Basic education and training for ASN in the scope of BPBD, SKPD, TNI / Polri and Bengkulu Province media partners, organized by the BNPB Education and Training Center in collaboration with BPSDM Bengkulu, began on 12 August 2019 as a reflection of the importance of governance and learning disaster management in Indonesia, especially Bengkulu Province which has high potential against the threat of earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides and others.

Head of the Bengkulu BPSDM Core Technical Development Division, Asmara Hadi, SKM, MSi in his closing remarks said that the training for the ambassadors of this disaster had to be re-programmed through continued PB training materials. It is hoped that the participants of this training can be trained to become TOTs for the development of PB and City level HR capacity in Bengkulu Province.

The implementation of basic disaster management training is filled with PB material including PB basics and national systems, disaster risk, emergency response posts, data and information management, rehabilitation rehabilitation to multiparty collaboration with PB speakers and lecturers from BNPB and BPBD.

Something interesting from the implementation of this training is that PB human resource capacity training can also take advantage of village funds being promoted by the Ministry of Finance. Hopefully this breakthrough can later become a rolemodel in other areas to shape community preparedness in facing disasters.
