Abstract

Floods are a major threat worldwide, including in Lahat Regency, South Sumatra, where heavy rains and overflowing Lematang River often cause severe flooding. The Lahat Regency Government plays a key role in disaster response, but places more emphasis on post-disaster recovery than preparedness. There is limited research on how organizations collaborate in disaster management, especially in a developing country like Indonesia. This study addresses this gap by examining organizational collaboration across different stages of disaster management in Lahat Regency during 2023. The objectives of this study were to analyze the mechanisms of inter-organizational collaboration in flood management, identify challenges faced in early warning systems and aid distribution, and explore potential for improved coordination between provincial and district-level organizations. Using exploratory qualitative methods, the researchers analyzed flood preparedness and response based on the experiences of government officials, NGOs, and KBBM. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, coded thematically, and validated through source triangulation. The findings highlight the importance of a proactive approach and shared responsibility, especially for communities affected by floods. The government faces challenges in early warning systems and aid delivery due to communication gaps. However, coordination between provincial and district-level organizations in South Sumatra has the potential to improve disaster management through improved information sharing and resource distribution. This study contributes to the understanding of disaster cooperation networks and underscores the need to strengthen collaboration and preparedness efforts.

Abstract

Indonesia is very vulnerable to various types of disasters, including the flash flood disaster experienced by the Lahat Regency. This research aims to determine the disaster mitigation of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah, BPBD) in dealing with flash flood disasters in the Lahat district area. This research used descriptive qualitative methods, with 15 informants. Research data was obtained using interview techniques, observation, and documentation studies so that it could be analyzed using a qualitative data analysis process. This research uses pre-disaster, emergency response, and post-disaster indicators. The research results show that disaster management in Lahat Regency is quite effective in dealing with flash flood disasters. The findings in this research are that even though they have lived in disaster-prone areas for a long time, the community and local government have not demonstrated disaster preparedness, resulting in unavoidable casualties and damage. Therefore, it is necessary to build a better system based on the integration of local wisdom that is adhered to by the local community.
