Abstract

In December 2018, a tsunami triggered by the eruption of Anak Krakatau Volcano (AKV) devastated the coastal area of Pandeglang, Indonesia, claiming hundreds of lives and leaving thousands missing. This tragedy underscores the critical importance of enhancing tsunami awareness through disaster preparedness and education. However, the lack of disaster preparedness in vulnerable areas, such as Pandeglang, remains a significant challenge. This is evident from the absence of early warning systems and evacuation initiatives at the time of the tsunami, highlighting the urgent need for improved disaster resilience in at-risk communities. This research aims to develop the disaster preparedness information system to equip society with sufficient knowledge and skill in case of the next disaster. The method this research uses is Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) to obtaining system requirements to the development of prototype. The prototype of a disaster preparedness information system was developed as a result. The system can be accessed using a smartphone or computer. This study introduces a novel approach by proposing a new prototype of disaster preparedness information specifically tailored for vulnerable areas in developing countries.
