| Zusammenfassung |
| Five years after the 2004 tsunami, a lot has been achieved to make communities
in Indonesia better prepared for tsunamis. This achievement is primarily
linked to the development of the Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System
(InaTEWS). However, many challenges remain. This paper describes the
experience with local capacity development for tsunami early warning (TEW) in
Indonesia, based on the activities of a pilot project. TEW in
Indonesia is still new to disaster management institutions and the public, as
is the paradigm of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The technology components
of InaTEWS will soon be fully operational. The major challenge for the system
is the establishment of clear institutional arrangements and capacities at
national and local levels that support the development of public and
institutional response capability at the local level. Due to a lack of
information and national guidance, most local actors have a limited
understanding of InaTEWS and DRR, and often show little political will and
priority to engage in TEW. The often-limited capacity of local governments is
contrasted by strong engagement of civil society organisations that opt for
early warning based on natural warning signs rather than technology-based
early warning. Bringing together the various actors, developing capacities in
a multi-stakeholder cooperation for an effective warning system are key
challenges for the end-to-end approach of InaTEWS. The development of local
response capability needs to receive the same commitment as the development
of the system's technology components. Public understanding of and trust in
the system comes with knowledge and awareness on the part of the end users of
the system and convincing performance on the part of the public service
provider. Both sides need to be strengthened. This requires the integration
of TEW into DRR, clear institutional arrangements, national guidance and
intensive support for capacity development at local levels as well as
dialogue between the various actors. |
