Abstract

Several regencies/cities in Indonesia are regions that have multi-hazard potential. Disaster management is often unplanned and improvised. For areas identified as having multi-hazard potential, the preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation should be carried out better. The local government must have strategic steps to deal with the possibility of disaster. The local government needs to formulate early warning, loss impact, and risk assessment in order to produce a disaster management strategy. Community needs, regional resources the quality of communication between stakeholders and their people characteristics become specific in the parameters used so that the strategy can be realized technically. Efforts that can be made are the preparation of strategic steps in the form of building systems on risk knowledge, monitoring and warning, response and dissemination capabilities, and communication. We elaborate the geospatial aspects on every stages of the disaster risk management (DRM) cycle in the Lebak district of Banten Province in Indonesia. Each stages of DRM need specific Geospatial data or information requirement in terms of resolution and quality. Furthermore, it leads to the precise estimation on reducing the risk caused by multi-hazards disaster.
