PROTOTYPE SISTEM INFORMASI MANAJEMEN BENCANA ALAM

Abstract

Natural disasters in Indonesia caused by geographical factor—such as earthquakes—or by human activity—such as flood—which occur almost annually in Jakarta are a source of concern. Moreover, it is common to hear news about natural disaster victims that had not received adequate attention and aid. One of the factors that caused ineffectivity in delivering aid to thevictims is the lack of information received by people competent in giving aid, other than other non technical problem. The role of management information system (MIS) becomes crucial when it comes to the importance of building trust. Thus, it is hoped to be able to ease aiding natural disaster victims. The use of natural disaster MIS through web-based application is very helpful in keeping aid delivery transparent, which made donors have no doubt upon giving help. Moreover, with this natural disaster MIS it is hoped that aid distribution to natural disaster victims could be done efficiently and right on target.
