Abstract

This study analyzes the role of the Manado City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in managing natural disasters and examines the challenges faced, along with efforts to overcome them. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving key informants, such as the Head of BPBD Manado City. The data were processed using Miles et al.’s (2014) interactive analysis model, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that BPBD plays three primary roles in disaster management. First, as a coordinator, BPBD acts as a command center, ensuring effective collaboration between government agencies, military (TNI), police, NGOs, and volunteers during disaster events. Second, as a regulator, BPBD formulates administrative and technical policies, including disaster management plans based on risk assessments and stakeholder-driven frameworks. Third, as an executor, BPBD directly implements activities in disaster management, including preparedness, emergency response, and post-disaster recovery, with an Incident Commander maintaining operational control during emergencies. Challenges faced by BPBD include low public discipline, limited awareness of disaster risks, inadequate equipment, and insufficient human resources in both quality and quantity. To address these issues, BPBD has initiated several efforts, including capacity building through training programs, promoting community-based disaster management, and establishing partnerships with national and international institutions such as UNDP and FAO. These efforts highlight the significance of an integrated, participatory, and coordinated disaster management system at the local government level. The study underscores the need for continued improvement in disaster management capabilities and community involvement.

Abstract

This study examines disaster mitigation efforts in minimizing disaster risk in Manado City and identifies the key challenges as well as the strategies implemented by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD: Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, direct observations, and document analysis, with the Head of BPBD serving as the primary informant. The analysis was conducted using Miles et al.’s (2014) interactive model, which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, thereby ensuring systematic interpretation of findings.The results indicate that disaster mitigation efforts in Manado consist of both passive and active strategies. Passive measures include strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing governance capacity, integrating disaster management planning into regional development programs, and advancing education and research to support long-term disaster risk reduction. In contrast, active mitigation emphasizes community-based actions, such as the installation of disaster warning signs, the provision of basic disaster training for officials and volunteers, the establishment of temporary evacuation shelters, and the implementation of both structural interventions (e.g., drainage construction, flood control) and non-structural measures (e.g., socialization, counseling, and public campaigns). Despite these initiatives, several challenges persist. Limited public awareness, inadequate infrastructure and facilities, a shortage of skilled human resources, weak planning and socialization, complex disaster causes, and environmental vulnerabilities all reduce the overall effectiveness of disaster risk reduction efforts. To address these obstacles, BPBD Manado fosters collaboration with various stakeholders, including government institutions, academia, non-governmental organizations, and local community groups. Moreover, the agency emphasizes the use of disaster risk assessments and hazard mapping as evidence-based foundations for policy formulation and implementation.
