ASSIGNMENT 1
1. Make a short list of recent flood disaster in your country
Table 1. List of recent flood disaster
No Date Location
1 3rd January 2023 Serang, Banten
2 6th January 2023 Semarang City, Central Java
3 18th August 2023 Medan City, North Sumatera
4 3rd July 2023 Balangan, South Kalimantan
5 7th July 2023 Lumajang, West Java

2. Is there any FEWS in your country?
Yes, there are such as Jakarta Flood Early Warning System (J-FEWS), Upper
Citarum Flood Early Warning System (UC-FEWS), Sistem Informasi Hidrologi &
Kualitas Air(Pemantauan data hidrologi realtime berbasis web).
3. Does this FEWS reduce the fatality and economic loss of the flood disaster?
Yes, it does. FEWS reduces the fatality of flood disaster by helping the operator
anticipate floods happen, evacuate people that are living around dangerous areas
earlier before flood happen, the data can also be used in planning embankments on
river banks so that people living around the area can be protected. In economic
terms, hydrological data that has been collected from EWS equipment can be used
to calculate the probability of flooding that will occur in the future, thus the handling
can be done then the damage that occurs can be minimized as well as damage to
assets around the potentially affected area can be minimal or nonexistent also the
data could become.
4. Is the mentioned FEWS is technologically elementary, intermediate or
advanced? Any room for improvement?

No. FEWS Technology Level Notes
1. J-FEWS Intermediate Already has modelling and launched
its website, giving actual information
on water level predictions. However,
it still needs improvement.
2. UC-FEWS Intermediate Already has modelling and launched
its website, giving actual information
on water level predictions. However,
it still needs improvement.
3 Sistem Intermediate Already has modelling and launched
Informasi its website, giving actual information
Hidrologi & on water level predictions. However,
it still needs improvement.

6. How about the condition of this FEWS in terms of four elements of FEWS?
○ Risk knowledge
○ Response capability
○ Monitoring and warning
○ Dissemination and communication
Draw it on the radar diagram! How to improve?
From 3 FEWS mentioned above, the lowest element score is response capability as
shown at Table 4 and the three radar graphics as shown at Picture 1, Picture 2 and Picture
3. The scope of this element is about measurement of disaster preparedness, response
plans, public awareness and education including campaigns, measurement and evaluation.
In order to improve it, the government should actively do socialization through platforms that
are commonly used by the community, play an active role in institutional strengthening
activities with society, or have an evacuation simulation especially for regions with high
vulnerability in order to increase public awareness and understanding of FEWS and the
following safety procedures.
