DRR YEP 2013 Activity: Visiting PSBA (13th September 2013)

-
Actually this is about our 2nd day activity and it was the very first time for us to make connection with Yogyakarta’s institution. Both BDSG and WASEND were straining relationship to Pusat Studi Bencana Alam (PSBA - Natural Disaster Study Center) of Gadjah Mada University. We were so excited!

First Bapak Jati from PSBA UGM introduced their institution, followed by Adhitya from BDSG and Koichi Saito from WASEND. Then PSBA played a documentary film about their establishment and roles. Their core activity is to spread or publicize science so it’s acceptable and applicable to the community for disaster management in Yogyakarta and surrounding.

At the next session Bapak Made introduced PSBA’s role in detail. They have so many activities to handle. Surprisingly those activities are not only related to natural disasters but also disasters caused by human behavior! They think that the deviation of human behavior could lead people to the most destructive disaster ever, which is nation’s mental deterioration.

After following Bapak Made by introducing both BDSG and WASEND’s activity in detail, we came to the discussion session. In this session, since we still need to learn a lot from experienced institutions, both members were fired up to discuss PSBA’s performances. As we know, PSBA is supported by Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD - Regional Disaster Management Agency) and consists of disaster management lecturers and experts from UGM. They handle many issues about disaster in Yogyakarta and like any other organization; they still have problems that must be overcome.


PSBA has given our recent DRR YEP 2013 activities a big help. We really want to thank you for the cooperation and hope we can make a strong bond in disaster management at the future.

Every session in this learning center is NEW for us.We watched movie about Tohoku earthquake and its secondary disasters which is fire, how is the disaster looked from the sky, how firemen did the job, the rescue, and also the victims to survive.

The First BDSG Basic Training for New Volunteers!

-
Image
As part of youth empowerment in disaster risk reduction, BDSG conducted a Basic Training in September 27, 2014 in its secretariat. This was aimed for reaching another milestone towards the sustainability of BDSG. Participants of the training consist of those who have joined BDSG activities a few times and those who were completely new to BDSG.  It was the first training conducted formally by BDSG. Usually BDSG volunteers were informally trained along with their participation in activities. Those who were more active would automatically became more skilled in designing concept of activities, in communicating, or in delivering materials in the school sessions. But it was about time to involve more skilled and committed volunteers to implement more missions of BDSG, quantity-wise and quality-wise. Therefore BDSG started to formalize its recruitment process, capacity building activities, and volunteer structure.  This basic training would be the first step of any ...
