“…ASEAN as a regional-international organization through AADMER Work Programs that is located in areas which tend to be stricken by natural disaster, is considered more flexible in responding to the different principles of humanitarian assistance. 111 The Disaster Monitoring and Response System (DMRS) would be more structured, efficient, effective, and give a direct benefit to the affected area by having these 5 main points. 112 The scope of effective coordination and simplification procedures in risk assessment and monitoring is the implementation of effective disaster risk reduction (DRR) such as estimating the potential losses and providing a comprehensive risk assessment framework that allows the determination of level of risk and the planning pro-cess.…”

This article aims to critically examine implementation of the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) to cope with humanitarian assistance caused by disasters, complex emergencies and conflicts in South East Asian countries. It focusses on how the ASEAN member States initiate and implement coordination and simplification of procedures on how to deliver humanitarian assistance to victims once those situations are declared as regional concern. The analysis in this paper is mainly construed by normative legal research relied on information of facts and information of legal bases in order to find out legal gaps, ambiguity, overlapping institutions and conflict of norms on coordination and procedures between national and regional regulations, policies, programs and actions. It provides framework for analysis on how constructive engagements under the AADMER generate a distinctive legal feature for regional concerns dealing with humanitarian issues in South East Asian Countries. This article reveals that effective coordination and simplification of procedures are back bones for the AADMER implementation. Factually, regulatory impacts assessments have been assessed and factually carried out by ASEAN member States in terms of increasing their understanding, allocation of all available resources and reducing potential risks when they create and implement their national rules and regulation on disaster, complex emergency and conflicts. However, at the same time, they tend to be reluctant to take measures on underlying necessity of legitimate reasons, authority as well as their advanced resources. It is necessary to be shared to reduce capacity gaps for better effective coordination and simplification of procedures due to their narrowed understanding of state’s sovereignty to shield their unwillingness to cooperate

“…Several existing works of literature on disaster management can be used as references in the preparation of this article. For example, Puspita (2017) argued that based on the principle of the primary state responsibility, the state is the main actor in natural disaster management. Unfortunately, Puspita's analysis mainly focuses on the state's role and overlooks the role of international organizations that gather cooperation for more effective and efficient disaster management.…”

“…This condition makes the government in each country optimize its role while formulating regional policies that can reach the security and comfort aspects of the community. These two tasks cannot be separated because they also move the will of the state in overcoming disaster problems, both as the main person in charge (Puspita 2017) and bound by agreed norms (Rum 2016). Shifting the focus from traditional security to non-traditional security is not easy.…”

The geographical location of the Southeast Asia region, which is between an intercontinental fault, two oceans, and the Pacifc Ring of Fire, has implications for the probability of the region’s vulnerability to natural disasters. Therefore, how Southeast Asian countries deal with this problem becomes an interesting subject of study. The awareness among Southeast Asian countries of the necessity for collective eﬀorts in disaster mitigation and disaster management is closely related to the ASEAN Way mechanism. This paper discusses environmental security by looking at the ASEAN mechanism in disaster management and the case studies of disasters that occurred in Indonesia. Employing the concept of cohesion, the signing of the AADMER and the establishment of the AHA Centre became a positive signal of group cohesion. This study fnds that there is a contradiction between the ASEAN Way and the disaster management mechanism among ASEAN member states in their application. Still, on the one hand, it strengthens the cohesion of ASEAN member states. The ASEAN Way prohibits any intervention from member states against aﬀected states except at the states’ request with the urgency of collective disaster management. However, cohesion among member states is determined by the behavior of each state, considering the complexity of the inﬂuencing factors. Letak geografs kawasan Asia Tenggara yang berada di antara patahan-antarbenua, dua samudera serta bentangan Cincin Api Pasifk memiliki implikasi terhadap probabilitas kerentanan kawasan tersebut dalam menghadapi bencana alam. Kesadaran negara-negara Asia Tenggara tentang perlunya upaya kolektif dalam melakukan mitigasi bencana dan manajemen bencana berkaitan erat dengan mekanisme ASEAN Way. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai keamanan lingkungan yang dikaji dengan melihat mekanisme ASEAN dalam penanggulangan bencana dengan studi kasus bencana yang terjadi di Indonesia. Menggunakan konsep kohesi, penandatanganan AADMER dan pembentukan AHA Centre menjadi sinyal positif pembentukan kohesi kelompok. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa antara ASEAN Way dengan mekanisme penanganan bencana antar negara anggota ASEAN terlihat bertolak belakang dengan aplikasinya, namun di satu sisi semakin memperkuat kohesi anggota ASEAN. ASEAN Way melarang adanya campur tangan negara anggota terhadap negara terdampak kecuali atas permintaan negara tersebut dengan urgensi penanganan bencana secara kolektif. Meskipun demikian, kohesi di antara para negara anggota ditentukan pula oleh perilaku masing-masing negara, mengingat faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya pun cukup kompleks

“…The ASEAN region is the most vulnerable in the world to natural disasters such as floods, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes [1]. Faced with that, ASEAN has agreed on coordination and cooperation in responding to natural disasters and established the ASEAN Coordinating Center for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Center) [1], [2]. With the AHA Center, IT becomes an essential part of delivering news about disasters that are monitored every day.…”

Facing the natural disaster that often occurs in southeast Asia, ASEAN has established the AHA Center. One of the AHA center functions is to deliver news about natural disasters which it monitors using information technology (IT). However, not all-natural disasters in one member country are monitored, only those requested by their members. Therefore, each member country also makes its information system. One of them is disaster preparedness in the Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The Padang in addition to the tourism center of West Sumatra, which is known for its natural beauty and its cultural uniqueness, is also listed as one of the cities in Indonesia that often experiences natural disasters. Due to the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, especially the issue of a massive earthquake followed by a tsunami, tourists are afraid to visit the Padang. Though many unique tourist attractions that can be enjoyed by tourists. To overcome this problem, tourists who come to the Padang need to be equipped with information about which areas have been or are affected by a disaster. That information should be available at any time and can be accessed from anywhere. With that information, tourists will feel safe and have made disaster preparedness. So that tourists are no longer afraid, and they will visit the Padang. For this reason, a web and mobile Geographic Information System (GIS) application have been developed to map disaster areas in the Padang. This GIS application was developed in several stages, namely data collection, application development and testing the system. This GIS application was implemented using programming languages such as PHP, Javascript, and B4A. The database used to store disaster data was PostgreSQL/PostGIS. Google Maps was used to visualize disaster maps. This GIS application can be used by tourists and the government to view disaster information
