4.3 Government Community Responses to Extreme Climate
hazards
4.3.1 Residents’ response towards the existence of disaster handling
institutions
The existence of institutions is very important in improving the ability or the capacity of communities to cope with disasters. From the survey results in eight study areas
residents felt unsatisfied with the presence of disaster handling agencies in the region. About 83 of the residents stated that there were no institutions handling the
disaster in their territories. They also said that they never received any information about climate information or early warning from the Government. Only 17 of
residents said that there was a disaster-handling institution in their areas. However, they said that the institutions do not function effectively in providing climate
information or early warning. The institutions meant by residents are village, RT, RW in the local environment office.
4.3.2 Community’s Response Towards Disaster Information
Currently in Indonesia there are various kinds of disasters ranging from floods, landslides, droughts, forest fires, and earthquakes whose frequency has become more
often for the last couple of years. Every resident can monitor these events through various media either printed or electronic. With the support of the satellite network
and residents’ ability to purchase electronic equipment such as television and radio, most residents 79.5 felt the benefit of watching the general news. Beside as a
means of entertainment, general news also enriches residents’ general knowledge.
Of various disaster-related information, the information deemed useful to the residents is information about climate change impacts. Information on the impact of
climate change include increase in the volume of sea water, shift in seasons, increase in temperature, etc. Therefore the information is translated by the community as a
source of disaster. Thus the information becomes more useful and attractive compared to other information. Data can be seen in Table 4.11.
If compared to men, in general female are more sensitive towards various types of news. Nevertheless, by seeing the percentage of resident response towards the use of
various types of news, resident’ sensitivity towards various disaster related news is relatively low.
