Abstract

Indonesia is a country at risk to natural disasters. Alogistics assistance for natural disaster needs to be managed properly. The distribution of disaster aids is hampered by the lack of an integrated information system to determine the needed logistics assistance to a particular area and to locate the availability of logistics. It often happens that too much stock on one area has been accumulated and not distributed, on the other hand there are some other areas lacking logistics supports. To support the disaster management system, private sectors are also needed to be involved. In this case, convenience stores are needed to assist with the logistics, as a form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), to the people who suffer from the disaster. This research was conducted to address the logistics distribution for natural disasters by developing an online and integrated logistic management information system under the coordination of the Indonesian Red Cross (IRC). The Information system being developed includes a web-based information system and mobile application which can be accessed using smartphones. This information system will provide information to donors about the necessary logistics needs. The study also involves convenience stores, which have a broad distribution network in Indonesia, to speed up the delivery of humanitarian logistics to the disaster sites. To guarantee that the aids are received safely by the victims of the disaster, the application also includes features for the shelters and volunteers. Volunteers will give confirmation via an application on the smartphone as the aids are received in accordance with the logistics of data sent by the Indonesian Red Cross. The results of this research is the design of a modeling process in the form of Data Flow Diagram, Data modeling in the form of Entity Relationship Diagram and User Interface to display IRC Administrator Dashboard, shelters, volunteers. This study has also included the design of the menu, which produces the menu of IRC Admin, donors, shelters, convenience stores. All designs are ready to be deployed.
