Coordination of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Karo Regency in Disaster Management Eruption Mount Sinabung
Introduction
The eruption of Mount Sinabung has had a devastating impact on the community in Karo Regency, resulting in a significant number of refugees, casualties, environmental damage, and destruction of agricultural land and public facilities. In response to this emergency situation, the Karo Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) plays a crucial role in coordinating disaster management efforts. Effective coordination is essential to ensure that there is no overlapping of tasks and functions between various sectors involved in handling this disaster.
Background of the Study
The eruption of Mount Sinabung has been a major concern for the community in Karo Regency since 2014. The disaster has caused significant damage to the environment, infrastructure, and the economy. In response to this disaster, the Karo Regency BPBD has been working tirelessly to coordinate disaster management efforts. However, despite its efforts, the BPBD has faced several challenges in carrying out its duties and functions.
Methodology
This study employed a qualitative approach, using in-depth interview techniques and observations to gather data. The selection of research subjects was carried out using purposive sampling, where key informants consisted of the Secretary of the Karo Regency BPBD, the Head of the Emergency and Logistics Division of the BPBD, as well as several heads of related offices. The main informant also involved the refugee community from Gurukinayan Village, which provided a direct perspective on disaster management.
Results
The results of this study showed that the Karo Regency BPBD was unable to carry out its duties and functions to the maximum. This was caused by the limited number of employees and inadequate facilities and infrastructure. In addition, the relationship between BPBD and other agencies was still influenced by each sectoral ego, which hampered effective cooperation. This created challenges in coordinating integrated disaster management efforts.
Discussion
The findings of this study highlight the importance of effective coordination in disaster management. The Karo Regency BPBD plays a crucial role in coordinating disaster management efforts, but it faces several challenges in carrying out its duties and functions. The limited number of employees and inadequate facilities and infrastructure are major constraints that hinder the BPBD's ability to respond effectively to disasters.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of effective coordination in disaster management. The Karo Regency BPBD plays a crucial role in coordinating disaster management efforts, but it faces several challenges in carrying out its duties and functions. To overcome these challenges, it is essential to improve communication and collaboration among all agencies involved. By establishing better cooperation, it is expected that coordination in the management of the Mount Sinabung eruption can be strengthened.
