Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia is highly prone to natural disaster, including volcanic eruptions that often generate sudden public health emergencies requiring rapid coordination and effective management of health resources. The eruption of Mount Semeru in December 2021 caused mass displacement and increased demand for emergency health services in Lumajang District, East Java. Objective: This field report aims to describe the establishment and operationalization of a district-level Health Emergency Operations Center (HEOC) during the acute response to the Mount Semeru eruption. Methods: A descriptive field report design was applied using operational documents, real-time coordination records, and field observations collected during the first ten days of the emergency response. Data were analyzed descriptively to examine coordination mechanisms, information management, volunteer deployment, and logistics monitoring. Results: HEOC activation strengthened command and coordination through routine coordination meetings, centralized health information management, structured volunteer deployment, and integrated logistics monitoring. These mechanisms improved situational awareness, reduced duplication of efforts, and supported timely operational decision-making despite resource constraints. Conclusion: The operationalization of a district-level HEOC enhanced health sector coordination and operational efficiency during the acute response phase. This report provides practical insights into HEOC implementation and highlights its importance for strengthening district-level health emergency preparedness in disaster-prone settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Disasters exacerbate gender-based vulnerabilities while underscoring women’s critical role in sustaining community health systems. In Aceh, disaster-related damage to infrastructure disrupted access to essential maternal and reproductive health services. Objective: This study reports lessons learned from the deployment of portable ultrasound (USG) within a mobile disaster health response in Bener Meriah, Aceh, focusing on women’s intersecting vulnerability and agency. Methods: A descriptive lessons-learned design was applied using service logs, field observations, team debriefings, and informal discussions with affected women and community midwives during a Universitas Gadjah Mada–led response. Portable USG was integrated into community-based midwifery networks to support point-of-care assessments in isolated areas. Results: Disrupted transportation and damaged health facilities significantly limited access to care. Mobile services using portable USG reduced geographic and mobility barriers, enabled timely assessments, and strengthened trust in health services. Community midwives played a central role in outreach, service delivery, and continuity of care. Conclusion: Disaster health responses are more effective when mobile health technologies are embedded within trusted community-based female health worker networks, reinforcing women’s roles in equitable and resilient health systems.
