SOCIALIZATION OF LAW NO. 24/2007 IN PRE-DISASTER, EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND POST-DISASTER SITUATIONS

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries prone to disasters that cause loss of life, psychological disorders, and property damage. To overcome this, the involvement of all parties is needed, including the government. To support and regulate the management process in Indonesia, the government issued Law No. 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster Management as one of the main policies in disaster management. The method of implementing the activity is divided into three stages, namely preparation, implementation, and monitoring stages. Community service through socialization in an effort to understand and increase knowledge about Law No. 24 of 2007. It was held on January 8-10, 2022. Socialization participants were 11 people.  The results of community service also show that there is an increase in knowledge and understanding of Law Number 24 of 2007 in pre-disaster, emergency response and post-disaster. The material explained can be immediately understood and understood because what has been exemplified and explained is not new and often done. Most participants understood Law No. 24/2007 and understood the role of Law No. 24/2007 in pre-disaster, emergency response and post-disaster disaster risk reduction. It is hoped that not only by the government, but also by educational institutions and social groups for community capacity building in disaster-prone areas can be further enhanced so that the creation of disaster-resilient communities will be achieved.
