Abstract

Health crises and natural disasters increasingly threaten communities worldwide, exacerbated by urbanization, climate change, and the vulnerability of populations in high-risk areas. Urban poor communities, in particular, are at heightened risk, making robust frameworks for health impact assessments essential. Local communities, with their deep understanding of social, cultural, and geographic dynamics, play a crucial role in disaster and health crisis management. Their involvement enhances resilience, facilitates timely responses, and supports post-disaster recovery, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters like floods and earthquakes. Despite the significant potential of local communities, challenges such as limited resources, poor coordination, and insufficient policy support hinder their effectiveness. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) explores the roles and contributions of local communities in responding to health crises and disasters, identifying successful strategies, key influencing factors, and gaps in the current research. The review emphasizes the importance of empowering local communities through effective training, resource management, and cross-sector collaboration. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders, offering guidance on strengthening community involvement as an integral component of health crisis and disaster mitigation strategies. The active engagement of local communities, supported by government policies, education, and strong networks, is essential for building resilient societies capable of managing future health and environmental challenges.

Abstract

Floods are one of the most frequent disasters in Indonesia and have a significant impact on the safety, health, and livelihoods of communities, including in Papua Province. The unique geographic and climatic conditions make this region vulnerable to flooding, necessitating a rapid and appropriate emergency response. Indigenous Papuans possess local wisdom, such as knowledge of natural signs, the value of mutual cooperation, and the role of traditional leaders, which offer significant potential in disaster management. However, this initial response capacity needs to be continuously strengthened to ensure more effective flood emergency management. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of empowering indigenous Papuans in improving the initial emergency response to floods in Entrop Village, South Jayapura District. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 41 indigenous Papuans who had experienced flooding, selected using the Slovin formula from a total population of 69. The intervention was conducted through outreach and digital simulations in the form of flood disaster videos. The results showed that the average emergency response score increased from 0.51 in the pretest to 0.73 in the posttest, a difference of 0.22. This increase indicates a significant improvement in the community's ability to recognize flood risks, determine priority actions, and carry out a more appropriate initial response. These findings confirm that empowerment based on the integration of modern disaster knowledge and local wisdom is effective in strengthening the preparedness of indigenous communities as the frontline in handling initial flood disasters in Papua.
