Logistics Management Of Flood Disasters By The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD)

Abstract

The Padang City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), which plays a significant role in allocating logistics during disasters, is examined in this study for its implementation of the flood disaster logistics management method. In disaster management operations, logistics is vital, particularly in the pre-disaster, preparedness, and response phases. This study emphasizes how crucial it is to use catastrophe danger maps, coordinate efforts, and employ tools like fiber boats, rubber boats, and portable pumps for BPBD activities. Even though BPBD established a Disaster Preparedness Group (KSB) and Quick Reaction Team (TRC), and worked with universities in the Communication, Information, and Education (KIE) program, this investigation discovered several major obstacles, such as a staffing shortage and uncertified expertise. Additionally, using equipment, this study assessed how transferable logistics management is in BPBD.
