- Abstract
Landslides are one of the commonly occurring natural disasters with worldwide susceptibility. Some distinct features of these disasters are that the affected area has a high density of population, low accessibility and the locals have low level of knowledge about disaster mitigation. Considering these conditions, it is necessary to establish a standard for an early warning system specific to landslide disaster risk reduction. This standard is expected to be the guidance system in conducting detection, prediction, interpretation, and response in landslide disasters. This new standard introduces the seven sub-systems for landslide early warning, starting with risk assessment and mapping, dissemination and communication, establishment of disaster preparedness and response team, development of evacuation map, standardized operating procedures, installation of monitoring and warning services, and building a local commitment to the operation and maintenance of the entire program. Since 2012, Indonesia has implemented a trial for the seven sub-systems in 20 landslide-prone provinces throughout the country. An example of the application of the proposed methodology in a local community in Central Java, Indonesia is also described.
