Community Based Disaster Management

Urgensi dari manajemen bencana adalah pentingnya perubahan paradigma penanggulangan bencana yang bergeser dari tanggap darurat kepada pendekatan mitigasi dan preparadness. Hal yang paling mendesak adalah menumbuhkan kesadaran dan kemampuan masyarakat untuk melindungi diri sendiri dari ancaman dan resiko bencana. Penciptaan community-based disaster dengan kata lain membangun ketahanan masyarakat dalam menghadapi bencana baik pada sebelum, saat terjadi bencana, maupun pasca bencana. Dalam praktiknya dibutuhkan peran dari pekerja sosial. Peran pekerja sosial sangat dibutuhkan dalam pemberfungsian masyarakat melalui community-based disaster. Hal tersebut dapat berupa dalam pendampingan dan perancanangan community-based disaster bersama masyarakat maupun menghubungkan masyarakat sebagai basis dengan stakeholders. Dapat melalui kegiatan formal maupun informal dalam bentuk sosialisasi maupun edukasi dan simulasi. Penerapan community-based disaster tentunya memiliki kelemahan dan kunci keberhasilan tergantung pada proses dan aktualisasinya.
