Coordination of Humanitarian Logistic Model Plan for Natural Disaster in East Java, Indonesia

Natural disasters in Indonesia often resulted in
huge casualties and material lost. Therefore, the
coordination of humanitarian logistic is important to be
upgraded. The result of this research is a model plan of
humanitarian logistic coordination in East Java with case
study in Pasuruan regency. The simulation of dynamic
system model is run using Vensim software. The objective
function is to minimize the response time for emergency
response. The proposed model involves Indonesia Red Cross
(IRC) as a core team in humanitarian logistic in East Java.
The order of priority that could be considered is the
assessment team only conducted by IRC, addition of IRC’s
doctors, addition of IRC’s boats for evacuation, additions of
IRC’s personnel for soup kitchen, and addition of IRC’s
boats for aid distribution. The simulation results show that
the proposed model can reduce the response time up to 20
hours.
