Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
The Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) was created and
has the functions of coordinator and commander during emergency
responses. BNPB is supported by ministers and other government
authorities, meanwhile at local level it is supported by BPBD
(Provincial Disaster Management Agency) and local government.
Currently all BPBD Offices have been established in 33 provinces
within Indonesia. National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) is a
non-department governmental agency headed by a ministerial-level
official. This institution is directly responsible to the President
of Indonesia.
The provincial office for BPBD has been established in Bali and is
currently operating to respond to emergencies. They have
representative offices situated in the following locations in Bali
:
District | Capital Town |
---|---|
Badung Regency | Mangupura |
Bangli Regency | Bangli |
Buleleng Regency | Singaraja |
Denpasar City | Denpasar |
Gianyar Regency | Gianyar |
Jembrana Regency | Negara |
Karangasem Regency | Amlapura |
Klungkung Regency | Semarapura |
Tabanan Regency | Tabanan |
A contingency plan has been developed locally which outlines the official role and procedures of BPBD when responding to emergencies in Bali. As with other BPBD’s located throughout the country there is a substantial amount of equipment that has been procured by the Indonesian Government for use during the emergency response. Refer to attachments for a list of the equipment.
In addition to BPBD, there is also search and rescue capability in Bali from Basarnas (SAR). They provide the operational assistance in search and rescue activities from sea or shipping disasters, air disasters or other as required.
Humanitarian Community
The humanitarian community in Bali is supported by the activities of the PMI (Indonesian Red Cross) and other NGO’s. In addition, UNDSS has a local security assistant available for support if required.
