Real Case Problems in Indonesia

Here are the recorded problems:

• There's no situation mapping, many deployed volunteer didn't have enough information
• There's no local/native field coordinators (they're also victims). There were some hierarcy of disaster coordination in Indonesia and sometime the coordination is not yet optimized:
  • Posko (Local command center)
  • Satlak (City administration level)
  • Satkorlak (Province administration level)
  • Bakornas (National administration level)
• Infrastructure
  • Telecommunication
  • Posko / command center
  • Logistic transportation
• Unit measures/metering, inventory always recorded with minimum information about it's amount and there's no standard
• Map resource and geographical data is mostly classified. there's no public source available
• Map in printed format sometimes more helpful/handy, so there's should be printer available to print the computerized maps
• Even if there were geographical data (GPS coordinates) there were some case where need detailed information (for example radius)
• Different data format or record system
• Data mostly not stored or at least available at the location itself
• Need data to start
  • The location's road/street data
  • The location's river data
  • Logistic route data
  • Victims data
  • Damaged and dangerous area data
  • The location's medical facilities or medical resource data
  • Age & sex data
