INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world (13.667 island and islets).
The population is the fourth largest in the world , after Republic of China, India
and USA. Indonesia has some hazard (a source a danger) can disrupt people’s
life and they can cause harm to an individual property and life or health. That
means Indonesia has some disaster problems. Disaster by definition of WHO
(World Health Organization) : any occurrence that causes damage, economic
disruption, loss of human life and deteoration in health and health services on
scale sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from outside the affected
area or community. The greatest number of disasters occur in some countries are
affected by ill health and poor economic conditions.
Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to prevent most disasters.
Nevertheless, we can alleviate many of their worse effects by anticipating or
preempting beforehand. Our concern is now to reduce the adverse impact of
disasters on human life, thought preparedness and the utilization of appropriate
technology to bear in a timely, coordinated and effective manner, for each phase
of operation i.e. mitigation, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
