Abstract:

The health system has a very important role in reducing hazards, exposure and vulnerability, especially in disaster conditions. In this case, the health system can be viewed from various sides, two of which are capacity and preparedness in health disasters. Therefore, research is needed that aims to describe the capacity and preparedness based on the case of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Palu. This descriptive study was conducted based on the case of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Disaster management capacity and preparedness in facing disasters were measured by filling out an online questionnaire. Furthermore, descriptive data analysis was carried out. For disaster management capacity, the results of the assessment of each indicator were: provision of health services = low, human resources = low, financing = low, materials and governance = high, institutional structure and health information systems = low; 6) medicines and health supplies = high and community and environmental conditions = high. For disaster preparedness, the results of the assessment of each indicator were: fulfilment of basic health needs = high and reduction in disease severity through health services = low. In general, it is concluded that based on the case of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Palu, the capacity and preparedness of disasters in the health sector are still relatively low.
