Implementation of Mobile Data Collection System for Disaster Rapid Emergency Response System Using Open Data Kit

Indonesia is a disaster-prone country. One of the main problems related to disaster in Indonesia is that the country does not yet have a good disaster management that can function optimally in responding to disaster. Therefore, this research is aimed to produce a system that can provide emergency response for disaster management using mobile data collection system. This system would provide crucial and immediate information needed by the decision makers to decide emergency response and recovery procedure. This is a research and development research. The data assessment process is carried out by the assessor at the disaster location using ODK collect. The data then is saved in a mobile communication device. Data can be uploaded by the disaster server network when the connectivity is available. Assessment data can be viewed on the application server through a web admin. The system was generated by considering the law of the state of Indonesia no. 24 Year 2007 concerning disaster management agency planning and regulation by Head of BNPB (Indonesia National Board for Disaster Management) No. 9 Year 2008 on the standard procedure for emergency response team of national board for disaster. Data over disaster occurrence, its massive impact, emergency facilities or supplies needed, post-disaster condition, and a missing victim is provided in these queries. After being tested, it appears that the design and implementation of an emergency disaster response system have been able to run satisfactorily according to system specifications.
