Indonesia sets guidance for local disaster-equipment planning
BNPB issued guidance for district and city disaster agencies to assess local hazards, residents and equipment needs when planning protective and preparedness equipment.
The guidance calls for inventories of hazards, exposed residents, equipment held by relevant organisations and potential outside support. Equipment planning should reflect local risks and contingency plans, with identified needs incorporated into regional planning and budgeting.
What changed
It connects equipment needs to contingency planning and local budgets rather than reporting new supplies already delivered.
Who this is for
District and city disaster-management agencies (BPBD), partner organisations and residents in disaster-prone areas in Indonesia.
Dates & context
The document was adopted on 15 September 2026; the official portal lists it on 12 October. Its family emergency-bag section is not evidence of a distribution programme or a universal fixed supply duration. The guidance does not establish that equipment has been purchased or delivered.
