National Progress Report - 2013-2015 1/42

Outcomes

Strategic Outcome For Goal 1

Outcomes Statement

Disaster management planning has been strengthened at the provincial anddistrict/city levels. After equipping all provinces with DM Plans in 2012-2013, BNPBfacilitated 61 districts and cities to develop their DM Plans. Currently the agency hasbeen piloting village-level DM Plans in 8 villages in the District of West Pasaman,Pandeglang, Jember and Sukabumi. It is expected that these local DM Plans mayfacilitate local DRR stakeholders in further mainstreaming DRR into regulardevelopment planning.


Outcomes Statement

After all provinces have set-up DM agencies between 2010-2013, currently morethan 90 percent of the districts and cities in the country have established Local DMAgencies (BPBDs). BNPB has continuously facilitated BPBDs and local DRRplatforms to promote DRR at the village level. Capacities for response, for riskassessment and community-based DRR have also been developed through trainingand simulation exercises at the district/city and village levels. Capacity to respond toclimate-related risks, however, has not been so significantly developed at the locallevel.


Outcomes Statement

At present 122 districts and cities in Indonesia have developed their contingencyplans for multiple hazards. Efforts to engage communities and DRR stakeholders incontingency planning and disaster emergency response exercises have also beenincreasing. There is growing number of disaster simulations and exercises conductedin many parts of the country, with the biggest one the Mentawai Megathrust TsunamiDisaster Exercise that was organized in 2013, which was participated by internationalpartners and 18 neighboring countries.


Strategic goals

Strategic Goal Area 1

The more effective integration of disaster risk considerations into sustainabledevelopment policies, planning and programming at all levels, with a specialemphasis on disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness and vulnerabilityreduction.

Strategic Goal Statement 2013-2015

Strengthened implementation of disaster management plans at the central and locallevels and enhanced mainstreaming of DRR-CCA into development.


The development and strengthening of institutions, mechanisms and capacities at alllevels, in particular at the community level, that can systematically contribute tobuilding resilience to hazards.


Strengthened capacities of District/City DM Agencies (BPBDs) in facilitating villagesand communities to build their resilience to disaster.


The systematic incorporation of risk reduction approaches into the design andimplementation of emergency preparedness, response and recovery programmes inthe reconstruction of affected communities.


Enhanced capacities at BPBDs to incorporate DRR into emergency preparedness,response and recovery programs.


Priority for Action 1Ensure that disaster risk reduction is a national and a local priority with a stronginstitutional basis for implementation.

Core indicator 1National policy and legal framework for disaster risk reduction exists withdecentralised responsibilities and capacities at all levels.

Level of Progress achieved? 4

Substantial achievement attained but with recognized limitations in key aspects, suchas financial resources and/ or operational capacities.

Key Questions and Means of Verification

Is disaster risk taken into account in public investment and planning decisions? Yes

National development plan Yes

Sector strategies and plans Yes

Climate change policy and strategy Yes

Poverty reduction strategy papers No

CCA/ UNDAF (Common Country Assessment/UN Development Assistance Framework)

Yes

Civil defence policy, strategy and contingencyplanning

No

Have legislative and/or regulatory provisions been made for managing disaster risk?Yes

Provide description and constraints for the overall core indicator(not only the means of verification).

Please describe some of the key contextual reasons for the country'sranking/ assessment for the indicated level of progress.


Indonesia has passed numerous rules and regulations on DRR and DM from thecentral government to the district/city levels. Capacities both at the central and locallevels have been much enhanced. However, much still has to be done to strengthencapacity particularly at the district/city level.

Provide an explanation of some of the key contextual reasons for thecountry's ranking assessment at the indicated level. In particular,highlight key challenges encountered by the country/ national authoritiesand partner agencies; and recommendations on how these can/ will beovercome in the future.

The key challenge in this issue coordination among stakeholders. It is still verydifficult to coordinate the stakeholders in commonly shared issues that need to befollowed-up together. Efforts to mainstream DRR into local development need to befurther enhanced. Clarity in the distribution of roles and responsibilities betweenBNPB and national actors, and BPBDs and local actors need to be increased.

Core indicator 2Dedicated and adequate resources are available to implement disaster risk reductionplans and activities at all administrative levels


Institutional commitment attained, but achievements are neither comprehensive norsubstantial.


What is the ratio of the budget allocation to risk reduction versus disaster relief andreconstruction?

Risk reduction/ prevention(%)

Risk reduction/ prevention(%)

National budget 0.9

Decentralised / sub-nationalbudget

0.38

USD allocated to hazard proofing sectoraldevelopment investments (e.g transport,agriculture, infrastructure)




The line ministries have programmed and allocated budget for DRR initiatives, whichare integrated into their regular programs. At the provincial level, a number ofprovinces have tried to integrate their DM plans into local development plans andbudget. Districts and cities that have developed DM plans have also beenencouraged to incorporate them into district and city development plans.


Awareness and understanding of DRR have not been inclusive, particularly amongmembers of the national and local legislatures. Most decision makers still considerDRR as non-essential and it is more important to allocate budget for emergency andpost-disaster recovery programs only. Also, the cost-benefit of DRR investment hasnot been commonly agreed by majority of decision makers.

Core indicator 3Community Participation and decentralisation is ensured through the delegation ofauthority and resources to local levels




Do local governments have legal responsibility and regular / systematic budgetallocations for DRR? Yes

Legislation (Is there a specific legislation forlocal governments with a mandate for DRR?)

Yes

Regular budget allocations for DRR to local Yes


government

Estimated % of local budget allocationassigned to DRR

0.1-0.38



Decentralization has been implemented in Indonesia since 1999, so the mandate forDRR at the district and city level lies at the local BPBD. BNPB does not have a directauthority over BPBDs, but it supports BPBDs through provision of facilities andinfrastructures as well as technical assistance. In many districts, rooms forparticipation have been opened in many areas through local DRR platforms andother means of coordination. For the future it would be beneficial if local BPBDs coulddevelop comprehensive strategies to promote local participation.


The key challenge to decentralized disaster risk governance includes lack ofresources to be given to the local level and limited human resources in the regions.Community’s participation in DRR has mostly been good in areas that haveexperienced major disasters. In the past four years BNPB has facilitated “DisasterResilient Village” program that has the purpose of promoting community’sparticipation in DRR at the village level.

Core indicator 4A national multi sectoral platform for disaster risk reduction is functioning.





Are civil society organizations, national finance and planning institutions, keyeconomic and development sector organizations represented in the nationalplatform? Yes

civil society members (specify absolutenumber)

67

national finance and planning institutions(specify absolute number)

2

sectoral organisations (specify absolutenumber)

22

private sector (specify absolute number) 9

science and academic institutions (specifyabsolute number)

26

women's organisations participating innational platform (specify absolute number)

2

other (please specify) 2

Where is the coordinating lead institution for disaster risk reduction located?

In the Prime Minister's/President's Office No

In a central planning and/or coordinating unit No

In a civil protection department No

In an environmental planning ministry No

In the Ministry of Finance No

Other (Please specify) Independentministerial-levelauthority, the BNPB




In addition to BNPB as the national coordinating authority responsible for the entireaspects of disaster management including DRR, Indonesia also possesses PlanasPRB, the National Platform for DRR that was established in 2008. The multi-stakeholder platform includes as its members government institutions, non-government organizations and the private sector. Recently the platform has beenrevitalized through the appointment of a new chair and new management team.


The National Platform for DRR has yet to be capacitated and made capable to serveas government’s partner in promoting and advocating DRR. BNPB will facilitatefurther Planas PRB to play a more prominent role and function in promoting DRR inthe country.


Priority for Action 2Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks and enhance early warning

Core indicator 1National and local risk assessments based on hazard data and vulnerabilityinformation are available and include risk assessments for key sectors.




Is there a national multi-hazard risk assessment with a common methodologyavailable to inform planning and development decisions? Yes

Multi-hazard risk assessment Yes

% of schools and hospitals assessed

schools not safe from disasters (specifyabsolute number)

Gender disaggregated vulnerability andcapacity assessments

No

Agreed national standards for multi hazardrisk assessments

Yes

Risk assessment held by a central repository(lead institution)

Yes

Common format for risk assessment Yes

Risk assessment format customised by user No

Is future/probable risk assessed? No

Please list the sectors that have already useddisaster risk assessment as a precondition forsectoral development planning andprogramming.

Public works,energy, mineralresources, marineand fishery, climate,agriculture




All the provinces in Indonesia have possessed multi-hazard risk assessments.Around 20% of the districts and cities have also developed their risk assessments. Atthe central level, the line ministries have also conducted risk mapping in accordancewith their responsibilities. These risk analyses have been enriched with vulnerabilityand capacity information from the community, as well as index of potential losses.


The key challenge in this regard constitutes the lack of technical capacity in manyBPBDs to conduct risk assessment. Also the availability of data has not beenadequate, particularly in Eastern Indonesia. Further capacity building is needed forrisk analysis and mapping both for the national and local stakeholders. Coordinationamong sectors needs to be enhanced to agree on and use a common risk analysismethodology.

Core indicator 2Systems are in place to monitor, archive and disseminate data on key hazards andvulnerabilities




Are disaster losses and hazards systematically reported, monitored and analyzed?Yes

Disaster loss databases exist and areregularly updated

Yes


Reports generated and used in planning byfinance, planning and sectoral line ministries(from the disaster databases/ informationsystems)

Yes

Hazards are consistently monitored acrosslocalities and territorial boundaries

Yes



Responsibility to monitor, archive and disseminate data on key hazards andvulnerabilities lies in different line ministries. The Ministry of Energy and MineralResources is mostly responsible for geological hazards, particularly volcanic eruptionand landslide. The Ministry of Public Work is responsible for flood hazard. BMKG isresponsible for climate-related hazards and tsunami. The Ministry of Forestry isresponsible for forest and land fires. BNPB facilitated the line ministries indisseminating important data. It has also developed hazard and vulnerabilitydatabases.


The chief constraint includes the absence of commonly agreed methodology andformat of risk assessment and database that will be acceptable to all. Efforts arebeing done to standardize this through the Indonesian National Standards (SNI) thatwill help in making the systems uniformed. There also needs to be coordinated effortsin risk assessments and database management to avoid duplication acrossgovernment institutions. At the lower government level, the challenge is more onbudget, and lack of human resources and technical know-how.

Core indicator 3Early warning systems are in place for all major hazards, with outreach tocommunities.





Do risk prone communities receive timely and understandable warnings of impendinghazard events? Yes

Early warnings acted on effectively Yes

Local level preparedness Yes

Communication systems and protocols usedand applied

Yes

Active involvement of media in early warningdissemination

Yes



Early Warning Systems in Indonesia has relatively been more advanced for hazardssuch as flood, tsunami, extreme weather, extreme waves, volcanic eruption andforest fires. The problem, however, lies in EWS’ outreach to the grassrootscommunities and capacity strengthening to build communities’ capacities to respondto warnings.


Not all community members have access to disaster early warning messages. TheEWS developed by sectoral ministries and agencies at the national level mostlyreaches district/city offices only. There needs to be established and enhancedsystems to deliver warning messages to reach every household in the hazard proneareas.


Core indicator 4National and local risk assessments take account of regional / trans boundary risks,with a view to regional cooperation on risk reduction.




Does your country participate in regional or sub-regional actions to reduce disasterrisk? Yes

Establishing and maintaining regional hazardmonitoring

Yes

Regional or sub-regional risk assessment Yes

Regional or sub-regional early warning Yes

Establishing and implementing protocols fortransboundary information sharing

Yes

Establishing and resourcing regional and sub-regional strategies and frameworks

Yes



With regard to trans-boundary risks, Indonesia is highly committed to jointmanagement of cross-border risks, particularly related to tsunami and smokehazards. ASEAN, South Asian and several other countries in the Asia Pacific regionhave been actively involved in Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System (IOTWS).Indonesia plays a leading role in the management of trans-boundary risks throughthe AHA Center. The country has also been active in Pacific Tsunami Warning andMitigation System (PTWS) and ASEAN Earthquake Information Center (AEIC).

Provide an explanation of some of the key contextual reasons for thecountry's ranking assessment at the indicated level. In particular,


highlight key challenges encountered by the country/ national authoritiesand partner agencies; and recommendations on how these can/ will beovercome in the future.

The key challenge includes lack of awareness and knowledge of regional/trans-boundary risks. The roles of the AHA Center and other forums of cooperation andinformation sharing need to be enhanced and more joint DRR initiatives need to bepromoted.


Priority for Action 3Use knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience atall levels

Core indicator 1Relevant information on disasters is available and accessible at all levels, to allstakeholders (through networks, development of information sharing systems etc)




Is there a national disaster information system publicly available? Yes

Information is proactively disseminated Yes

Established mechanisms for access /dissemination (internet, public informationbroadcasts - radio, TV, )

Yes

Information is provided with proactiveguidance to manage disaster risk

Yes



BNPB has facilitated the set-up and maintenance of the Indonesian disaster data andinformation. Other ministries and agency such as BMKG manages data related toextreme weather, earthquake and tsunami. The Ministry of Energy and Mineralresources maintain data related to volcanic eruption and land mass movement.Several local governments, together with non-government partners such asuniversity, have developed disaster information systems that are specific to theirneeds. The media has also been proactive in disseminating disaster-related data andinformation.



The remaining challenge includes the provision of disaster-related information topeople living in remote areas. Some have been able to be reached through televisionand radio networks that have relatively covered all parts of the country. There is alsoa cultural obstacle that many people are not proactive in seeking information aboutthe risks they are facing. The government still needs to further build the capacity ofBPBDs in managing risk information and communication.

Core indicator 2School curricula , education material and relevant trainings include disaster riskreduction and recovery concepts and practices.




Is DRR included in the national educational curriculum? Yes

primary school curriculum Yes

secondary school curriculum Yes

university curriculum Yes

professional DRR education programmes Yes



Indonesia sees an increased commitment in this issue, as the Ministry of Educationand Culture, Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Religious Affairs, Ministry of Home


Affairs, BNPB and non-government stakeholders have jointly worked towardsstronger implementation of DRR through the curriculum. More and more trainingprograms have been developed by non-government partners to strengthen capacityfor better recovery.


One of the remaining challenges in this regard include the need to enhancecoordination among relevant agencies from the national down to the local levels. Thegovernment needs to advocate further the integration of DRR and recovery conceptsinto school education and DM training and exercises, particularly at the district/citygovernments as the actual service providers.

Core indicator 3Research methods and tools for multi-risk assessments and cost benefit analysis aredeveloped and strengthened.




Is DRR included in the national scientific applied-research agenda/budget? Yes

Research programmes and projects Yes

Research outputs, products or studies areapplied / used by public and privateinstitutions

Yes

Studies on the economic costs and benefits ofDRR

No




Government ministries/agencies have developed methods and tools for riskassessments, like BMKG or the climate agency, for instance, developed assessmentmethodologies for tsunami, extreme weather and extreme wave, and earthquake andflood. The Geological Agency developed methodologies and tools for volcaniceruption and land mass movement. The Ministry of Public Work developed flood riskanalysis. The National Science Institute (LIPI) developed Preparedness Analysis.BNPB has also developed multi-hazard risk assessments methodologies. However,the country has yet to develop cost-benefit analysis for risk sensitive investments.


It is still a challenge to establish assessment methods that will be commonly agreedand used by the different ministries and agencies, as most institutions have theinterests of developing their own method. There needs to be an integrated andcomprehensive research policy in disaster management and risk reduction that alsocovers the relevant cost-benefit analysis.

Core indicator 4Countrywide public awareness strategy exists to stimulate a culture of disasterresilience, with outreach to urban and rural communities.




Do public education campaigns for risk-prone communities and local authoritiesinclude disaster risk? Yes

Public education campaigns for enhancedawareness of risk.

Yes

Training of local government Yes


Disaster management (preparedness andemergency response)

Yes

Preventative risk management (risk andvulnerability)

No

Guidance for risk reduction Yes

Availability of information on DRR practices atthe community level

Yes



A comprehensive strategy for awareness building for disaster preparedness has longbeen put in place by the government. Many awareness building drive, however, havemostly involved communities in rural areas. Guidelines and information about DRRhave also been made available for grassroots communities particularly in hazardprone areas.


The remaining challenge constitutes that the national strategy, albeit been drafted forsome time, has yet to be implemented with sufficient funding support. The monitoringand evaluation of the process and outcome have also been limited. Lack ofcoordination; weak knowledge management; and poor communication strategy havealso become obstacles in advancing public awareness to nurture a culture ofresilience.


Priority for Action 4Reduce the underlying risk factors

Core indicator 1Disaster risk reduction is an integral objective of environment related policies andplans, including for land use natural resource management and adaptation to climatechange.




Is there a mechanism in place to protect and restore regulatory ecosystem services?(associated with wet lands, mangroves, forests etc) Yes

Protected areas legislation Yes

Payment for ecosystem services (PES) Yes

Integrated planning (for example coastal zonemanagement)

Yes

Environmental impacts assessments (EIAs) Yes

Climate change adaptation projects andprogrammes

No



DRR has long been linked to environmental management and mainstreamed intodevelopment. The forthcoming Middle-term National Development Plan 2015-2019combines both these issues, which have also been supported by numerousregulations enacted by the line ministries. There has been a mechanism for Paymentfor Environmental Services, but the technical guidelines may need to be further


refined.


Among the challenges include ineffective law enforcement, overlapping of regulationsand lack of inter-agency coordination. There needs to be more concerted efforts toenforce the prevailing regulations that sanction the two issues.

Core indicator 2Social development policies and plans are being implemented to reduce thevulnerability of populations most at risk.




Do social safety nets exist to increase the resilience of risk prone households andcommunities? Yes

Crop and property insurance No

Temporary employment guarantee schemes Yes

Conditional and unconditional cash transfers Yes

Micro finance (savings, loans, etc.) Yes

Micro insurance Yes




Indonesia implements social development programs for population at risks, mostly inthe aftermath of a disaster event. A number of social development programs haveaddressed people’s vulnerability such as the rice for the poor program, the socialsecurity program for senior citizens and social assistance program for people withdisability. Micro insurance and micro financing programs have also been developedby the government and private sector, but the penetration has been limited to severalareas only.


The biggest challenge in this regard is the lack of clarity in the criteria of the poor andvulnerable people and information about the whereabouts of these groups.Sustainable development needs to be focused more on vulnerable people in hazardprone areas.

Core indicator 3Economic and productive sectorial policies and plans have been implemented toreduce the vulnerability of economic activities


Some progress, but without systematic policy and/ or institutional commitment.


Are the costs and benefits of DRR incorporated into the planning of publicinvestment? No

National and sectoral public investmentsystems incorporating DRR.

No

Please provide specific examples: e.g. publicinfrastructure, transport and communication,economic and productive assets

Investments in retrofitting infrastructuresincluding schools and hospitals

Yes




There have only been pilot initiatives in formulating economic and productive sectoralpolicies and plans to reduce the vulnerability of economic activities. Policies at thelocal level have not been systematic and mechanism to empower vulnerablepeople’s livelihoods has not been adequate. Local economic developmentimplemented has not incorporated risk sensitive considerations.


Awareness of the importance and benefit of DRR has not been internalized in theeconomic and productive sectors. DRR programs targeted to small-mediumenterprises in hazard-prone areas need to be increased. Local government shouldfacilitate small businesses to engage in business continuity planning andmanagement.

Core indicator 4Planning and management of human settlements incorporate disaster risk reductionelements, including enforcement of building codes.




Is there investment to reduce the risk of vulnerable urban settlements? Yes

Investment in drainage infrastructure in floodprone areas

Yes

Slope stabilisation in landslide prone areas Yes

Training of masons on safe construction Yes


technology

Provision of safe land and housing for lowincome households and communities

Yes

Risk sensitive regulation in land zoning andprivate real estate development

Yes

Regulated provision of land titling Yes



Indonesia has long made it obligatory for housing developers to conduct anenvironmental assessment, which contains risk reduction elements, prior to startbuilding and to comply with building codes. Many regulations have been enacted tothis regard, such as the Law on Spatial Planning and Law on High-rise Building, thebuilding code, micro-zoning regulations and others. In areas highly-prone toearthquake, governments and non-government partners have disseminatedinformation to the public on the importance of earthquake-resistant building. Buildingartisans in those places have also been trained on earthquake safe construction.Early efforts to certify building quality, particularly for public buildings, have also beenimplemented.


The key challenge lies in the consistency in implementing policies and regulationsrelated to spatial planning and infrastructure. There are also some overlapping anddisagreement of policies between different levels of government, weak monitoringand evaluation and ineffective law enforcement. Safety culture needs to be promotedfurther in the development of settlements.

Core indicator 5Disaster risk reduction measures are integrated into post disaster recovery andrehabilitation processes





Do post-disaster programmes explicitly incorporate and budget for DRR for resilientrecovery? Yes

% of recovery and reconstruction fundsassigned to DRR

5

DRR capacities of local authorities forresponse and recovery strengthened

Yes

Risk assessment undertaken in pre- and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction planning

Yes

Measures taken to address gender basedissues in recovery

Yes



Starting from the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, Indonesia has endeavored tomainstream DRR into post disaster recovery and rehabilitation. Every post-disasterrecovery program in the country has since needed to be started with a Post-DisasterNeed Assessment and the formulation of Action Plan for Rehabilitation andReconstruction. BNPB regulation No. 17/2011 on rehabilitation and reconstructionhas further internalized DRR mainstreaming in recovery. The government has alsoimplemented “building back better” approach in most post-disaster events since2006.


The remaining challenge includes the lack of awareness and understanding of the


issue as well as weak coordination among different sectors. BNPB as the institutionresponsible for DRR will need to enhance collaboration with the Ministry of PublicWorks and other institutions in promoting the integration of DRR into post-disasterrecovery. Local communities, particularly minority and vulnerable groups, need to beengaged in risk sensitive post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Core indicator 6Procedures are in place to assess the disaster risk impacts of major developmentprojects, especially infrastructure.




Are the impacts of disaster risk that are created by major development projectsassessed? No

Are cost/benefits of disaster risk taken into account in the design and operation ofmajor development projects? No

Impacts of disaster risk taken account inEnvironment Impact Assessment (EIA)

No

By national and sub-national authorities andinstitutions

No

By international development actors No



Efforts to develop analytical instruments to assess the disaster impacts of majordevelopment projects have just been piloted, although the country has made itprerequisite to conduct Environmental Impact Assessment at the individual projectlevel, and Strategic Environmental Analysis for areas that have many development


projects that may potentially damage the environment.


Local governments have mostly prioritized investments brought by big developmentprojects over the risks that they may pose. Hence, permits have mostly been issuedwithout due consideration of the potential risks that may be caused by developmentprojects. Also, there has not been an adequate methodology for analyzing thedisaster risk impacts of major development infrastructure projects.


Priority for Action 5Strengthen disaster preparedness for effective response at all levels

Core indicator 1Strong policy, technical and institutional capacities and mechanisms for disaster riskmanagement, with a disaster risk reduction perspective are in place.




Are there national programmes or policies for disaster preparedness, contingencyplanning and response? Yes

DRR incorporated in these programmes andpolicies

Yes

The institutional mechanisms exist for therapid mobilisation of resources in a disaster,utilising civil society and the private sector; inaddition to public sector support.

Yes

Are there national programmes or policies to make schools and health facilities safein emergencies? Yes

Policies and programmes for school andhospital safety

Yes

Training and mock drills in school andhospitals for emergency preparedness

Yes

Are future disaster risks anticipated through scenario development and alignedpreparedness planning? Yes

Potential risk scenarios are developed takinginto account climate change projections

Yes

Preparedness plans are regularly updated Yes


based on future risk scenarios



Currently all provinces and more than 90% of the districts and cities in Indonesiahave possessed their own local DM agencies. BNPB continues to build the technicalcapacity of these BPBDs. Many areas have developed rapid response teams and atthe national level two specialist rapid response teams have been established. Manyregions have developed risk-sensitive spatial planning and implemented programs fordisaster preparedness, contingency planning, and response. DRM policy thatemploys a risk reduction perspective has been in place, but it has yet to beimplemented well and throughout all over the country.


One of the main challenges includes difficulty in enforcing laws and regulations. Also,since the shift of paradigm from response to DRR has not been well socialized, at thelocal government level, risk management is often considered as the same withemergency preparedness. It is clear that BPBDs have to be strengthened inimplementing their duties and responsibilities.

Core indicator 2Disaster preparedness plans and contingency plans are in place at all administrativelevels, and regular training drills and rehearsals are held to test and develop disasterresponse programmes.




Are the contingency plans, procedures and resources in place to deal with a major


disaster? Yes

Plans and programmes are developed withgender sensitivities

No

Risk management/contingency plans forcontinued basic service delivery

Yes

Operations and communications centre Yes

Search and rescue teams Yes

Stockpiles of relief supplies Yes

Shelters Yes

Secure medical facilities Yes

Dedicated provision for disabled and elderlyin relief, shelter and emergency medicalfacilities

Yes

Businesses are a proactive partner inplanning and delivery of response

No



More than 25 percent of all districts and cities have formulated contingency plans forvarious types of hazard. However, only a limited number has been prepared withsufficient gender sensitivities. Contingency plans have mostly been prepared torespond to emergency situations and not for continued basic service delivery. Only alimited number of BPBDs have been able to implement contingency plans throughregular disaster drills and rehearsals.


The challenge lies in the lack of awareness, both in government and community, ofthe importance of contingency and preparedness plans in enhancing disaster


preparedness. There needs to be continuous socialization of the importance of theseplans and budget for their implementation.

Core indicator 3Financial reserves and contingency mechanisms are in place to support effectiveresponse and recovery when required.




Are financial arrangements in place to deal with major disaster? Yes

National contingency and calamity funds Yes

The reduction of future risk is considered inthe use of calamity funds

No

Insurance and reinsurance facilities Yes

Catastrophe bonds and other capital marketmechanisms

No



On-call budgets have been allocated at the national level by the line ministries and atthe local level by a number of provincial and district/city governments. However, theregulations that stipulate this issue are not clear, so that not all local governmentscan allocate such budget. Disaster risk insurance, catastrophe bonds and other risktransfer mechanisms have not been developed adequately in the country.

Provide an explanation of some of the key contextual reasons for thecountry's ranking assessment at the indicated level. In particular,highlight key challenges encountered by the country/ national authoritiesand partner agencies; and recommendations on how these can/ will be


overcome in the future.

One main challenge is the absence of clear regulations that govern disaster budgetat the national and local levels, which has made it difficult for decision makers toallocate disaster budget. The government needs to formulate clear regulationsrelated to disaster budget and make funds disbursement more responsive andeasier, while still maintaining transparency and accountability.

Core indicator 4Procedures are in place to exchange relevant information during hazard events anddisasters, and to undertake post-event reviews.




Has an agreed method and procedure been adopted to assess damage, loss andneeds when disasters occur? Yes

Damage and loss assessment methodologiesand capacities available

Yes

Post-disaster need assessmentmethodologies

Yes

Post-disaster needs assessmentmethodologies include guidance on genderaspects

Yes

Identified and trained human resources Yes



Information exchange during emergency has long been established in Indonesia. Forvolcanic eruption, the Geology Agency regularly disseminates warning messages


during hazardous situations. The Ministry of Public Works regularly conveysinformation on flooding to communities potentially affected. Both systems havereached household level through the BPBDs. The country has also developed Post-Disaster Need Assessment/PDNA and trained people to implement this instrument.


The key challenge faced includes the massive task of covering all the districts/cities(nearly five hundred) in the country and building capacity to implement theseprocedures. Efforts will be needed to build disaster information systems that areaccessible directly by the people. Skilled staff will need to be trained regularly at alllevels of government, while facilities and infrastructures also need to be furnishedparticularly at the local level.


Drivers of Progress

a) Multi-hazard integrated approach to disaster riskreduction and development

Levels of RelianceSignificant and ongoing reliance: significant ongoing efforts to actualize commitmentswith coherent strategy in place; identified and engaged stakeholders.

Do studies/ reports/ atlases on multi-hazard analyses exist in thecountry/ for the sub region?: Yes

If yes, are these being applied to development planning/ informingpolicy?: Yes

Description (Please provide evidence of where, how and who)

Multi-hazard analyses have been developed from the national down to the district/citylevel. In some highly prone disaster areas, risk analysis has even been done at thevillage level. Efforts to build capacity of stakeholders in DRR have continuously beendone, especially for decision makers at the district/city level, in order that they canmainstream DRR into regular development planning. Related to this, however, moreefforts need to be done to provide budget allocation for local governments andencouraged them to increase their budget spending on DRR.

b) Gender perspectives on risk reduction andrecovery adopted and institutionalized

Levels of ReliancePartial/ some reliance: Full acknowledgement of the issue; strategy/ framework foraction developed to address it; application still not fully implemented across policyand practice; complete buy in not achieved from key stakeholders.

Is gender disaggregated data available and being applied to decision-making for risk reduction and recovery activities?: Yes

Do gender concerns inform policy and programme conceptualisation andimplementation in a meaningful and appropriate way?: Yes



The Government of Indonesia has developed gender disaggregated data down to thevillage level. However, this has yet to be used properly in decision-making in alldevelopment sectors. Gender concerns has only started to inform developmentpolicies and programs, since awareness of policy makers on the importance ofpromoting gender equality has not been well developed. The government needs toenhance the capacity to manage gender-disaggregated database. The involvementof mass media and NGOs in mainstreaming gender into DRR will be very crucial.

c) Capacities for risk reduction and recoveryidentified and strengthened


Do responsible designated agencies, institutions and offices at the locallevel have capacities for the enforcement of risk reduction regulations?:Yes

Are local institutions, village committees, communities, volunteers orurban resident welfare associations properly trained for response?: Yes


Relevant agencies, institutions and offices at the district/city level have mostlypossessed capacities to enforce risk reduction regulations. Efforts have been done tobuild the capacity for response and to reduce risks through training of localinstitutions, village committees, communities and volunteers. Capacity to reduce risksand conduct better recovery has continuously been done through improvement offacilities and infrastructures, and development of human resources in disastermanagement.

d) Human security and social equity approachesintegrated into disaster risk reduction and recoveryactivities



Do programmes take account of socio-environmental risks to the mostvulnerable and marginalised groups?: Yes

Are appropriate social protection measures / safety nets that safeguardagainst their specific socioeconomic and political vulnerabilities beingadequately implemented?: Yes


The country has implemented a number of social protection measures or safety netssuch as health insurance, social assistance for the poor and provision of rice at adiscounted price, but the coverage of these programs has not known to be sufficientto reduce poverty. There needs to be a stronger political will in integrating humansecurity and social equity approaches into DRR and recovery activities.

e) Engagement and partnerships with non-governmental actors; civil society, private sector,amongst others, have been fostered at all levels


Are there identified means and sources to convey local and communityexperience or traditional knowledge in disaster risk reduction?: Yes

If so, are they being integrated within local, sub-national and nationaldisaster risk reduction plans and activities in a meaningful way?: Yes


BNPB and DRR stakeholders have initiated activities to collect local experiences andtraditional knowledge that have developed in many hazard-prone areas of thecountry. These knowledge and experiences have helped build community’sresilience to disaster. Efforts to integrate them into the local, sub-national and


national DRR plans and activities in a meaningful way, however, have not been donein a systematic manner. The government needs to enhance further such an initiative.

Contextual Drivers of Progress



Academicians and intellectuals in Indonesia have become more and more engagedin disaster risk reduction efforts. Currently the country has just had its nationalassociation of disaster experts. The association is committed on empowering localgovernments in DRR and building resilience.

Additional context specific drivers of Progress # 1

Levels of RelianceSignificant and ongoing reliance: significant ongoing efforts to actualize commitmentswith coherent strategy in place; identified and engaged stakeholders.

Drivers of ProgressA good post-disaster recovery strategy


Indonesia has developed a good post-disaster recovery strategy. In the aftermath ofa disaster event, the government will conduct a post-disaster need assessment(PDNA). The results from this exercise will guide the formulation of the Local ActionPlan for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction. The action plan, in addition to containingrehabilitation and reconstruction programs, also contain programs for the livelihoodrecovery of the people and the recovery of the entire aspects of the disaster-affectedcommunities. Recovery has also served as an opportunity to build back better andmore risk sensitive, as around 5% of the recovery budget is usually allocated for DRRprograms and activities.


Future Outlook

Future Outlook Area 1The more effective integration of disaster risk considerations into sustainabledevelopment policies, planning and programming at all levels, with a specialemphasis on disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness and vulnerabilityreduction.

Overall Challenges

In terms of the integration of DRR into development, Indonesia has achievedsignificant results. The regulatory framework for DRR and institutional arrangementsfor DM agencies have been enhanced down to the district/city level. Challenges,however, are still abound with the lack of synchronization between DM regulationsand rules that regulate other sectors. Rules and policies that regulate investment andeconomic development often outweigh those regulating DRR. Disharmony in alsoexists between regulation and policies made at different levels of government.Shared perception of DRR and common understanding of the way to mainstreamDRR into development have also not been achieved. Another challenge is that theexisting DRR policies have not been implemented well and translated into capacityand institutional development. Many relevant policies have been formulated at thecentral level, but their implementation at the provinces and districts/cities have notbeen comprehensive. The existing government administration system still limitsallocation for DRR.

Future Outlook Statement

With the formulation of the new middle-term development plan 2015-2019 theGovernment of Indonesia will implement DRR programs that are relatively integratedinto the sectors. It is expected that the local governments, particularly district/citygovernments will be also incorporated DRR and environmental concerns into localdevelopment plans. Risk assessments will be enhanced and implemented in moreand more districts and cities. Better coordination will be established with the lineministries and agencies, and also with NGOs and local government offices.

Future Outlook Area 2The development and strengthening of institutions, mechanisms and capacities atall levels, in particular at the community level, that can systematically contribute to


building resilience to hazards.

Overall Challenges

Since the 4th AMCDRR in Incheon and reaffirmed in the 5th AMCDRR inYogyakarta, Indonesia, the Government of Indonesia has always focused on buildingresilience at the village level. These efforts, however, was challenged by the numberof villages in Indonesia that are situated in hazard-prone areas. With a total of morethan 75,000 villages, out of which around 60% are situated in hazardous areas, whilethe resources and budget are limited, the country can only implement resilienceprograms in a limited number of villages. Another challenge is that the line ministriesimplement DRR-related activities on their own, with minimum coordination amongeach other. Hence, it will be difficult to assess the effectiveness of resilience buildingprograms implemented by different government institutions all over the country.


The newly elected government of President Joko Widodo has strongly maintainedthat they will focus the national development at the village level. Greater budget hasbeen allocated to villages, and it is expected that DRR will become one of the priorityprograms.

Future Outlook Area 3The systematic incorporation of risk reduction approaches into the design andimplementation of emergency preparedness, response and recovery programmesin the reconstruction of affected communities.

Overall Challenges

Indonesia has integrated DRR approach into emergency preparedness, responseand recovery programs. The challenge, however, lies in the lack of capacity andtechnical know-how of responsible agencies. Also, the capacity of the humanresources needs to be enhanced particularly in incorporating risk reductionapproaches into the design and implementation of emergency preparedness,response and recovery programs.



With the new national middle-term development plan 2015-2019, it is expected thatsystematic integration of DRR into emergency preparedness, response and recoveryprograms will be further enhanced. This certainly needs to be complemented withefforts to develop the capacity of BPBDs and their staff in planning and managingrisk sensitive DRR programs. The presence of strong BPBDs will accelerate thesystematic integration of DRR into all development programs. In future BNPB willneed to provide strengthened technical and financial support to BPBDs to formulatecontingency plans and engage in risk-sensitive post-disaster rehabilitation andreconstruction.
