The Effectiveness of Public Kitchens at the Disaster Emergency Response Post (Tdb) in Meeting the Nutritional Needs of Post-Disaster Children in Hutanabolon Village, Tukka District

Abstract

Geographically, Indonesia is an archipelagic nation located at the confluence of four tectonic plates: the Asian Continental Plate, the Australian Continental Plate, the Indian Ocean Plate, and the Pacific Ocean Plate. In the southern and eastern parts of Indonesia, there is a volcanic arc stretching from Sumatra Island to Papua, flanked by ancient volcanic mountains and lowlands, some of which are dominated by swamps. In Indonesia, efforts to improve emergency services are realized through the implementation of the Integrated Emergency Management System (SPGDT). This system is a service mechanism that integrates emergency patient care from the pre-hospital phase to the post-hospital phase.-hospitals, hospital services, and referral systems between health facilities. The SPGDT emphasizes the importance of coordination between various parties, such as health workers, hospitals, the PSC 119 emergency service center, and other agencies such as the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the police, and rescue agencies. The study showed that the implementation of the SPGDT in coastal areas has been ongoing but is not yet fully optimal. Limited transportation access can cause delays in the process of evacuating patients to referral hospitals. Therefore, special strategies are needed, such as the development of sea ambulances and improving emergency communication systems. Furthermore, increasing public awareness of the PSC 119 service is also a crucial factor in supporting the success of the SPGDT.
