1. The document outlines a personal and family disaster preparedness plan for a family of 5 living in Indonesia. It details evacuation routes and meeting points, emergency supply kits and food/water supplies, communication plans, and maintenance of the preparedness plan through monthly meetings. 2. Key aspects of the plan include evacuating to the parents' home in the event of a disaster, especially flooding which is most common. Supplies are stored at both the individual's apartment and parents' home to last 2 weeks. Cell phones and radios are the main communication methods along with monthly drills and meetings to update the plan. 3. Contingency plans if separated include gathering at neighborhood shelters until communication can be restored

1. Personal and Family Disaster Preparedness Plan
by Afriana M. P.
1. Personal Background Information:
I live with my roommate in an apartment, about 50 km away from my parents’ house.
I would evacuate to my parents’ house in an emergency.
Name: Age: Specific Health Issues/Unique Needs:
Me 24 None
Brother 18 None
Mom 52 Fatigue, muscle cramps.
Dad 55 Fatigue, muscle cramps.
Geographic Location:
I currently live in Bekasi Regency, part of Great Jakarta Area (the capital city of Indonesia). My
apartment is on the 29th floor of a brick building. it will be really exhausting to be there in case of
emergency, because it once happened to me when Jakarta had a massive blackout (power
failure). In the event of a major disaster, I would travel to the suburbs to be with my family.
My family’s home is in a community housing, fortunately on a quite higher elevation compared
to other blocks. So I can say our home is safe from floods. One block consists of about 100 house.
Our home has gas-run devices, no basement, 2 motorcycles, and 2 cars. Due to my parents’
conditions, I need to be close to them.

2. Types of Disaster:
Based on National Disaster Management Agency, the most likely disaster to occur in my
apartment area is flooding. Other potential disasters listed include:
1. Pandemics
2. Power failure
3. Earthquakes
Since I work in Jakarta, a massive flood may be happened in rainy season. For example, the
flash floods occurred throughout Great Jakarta area on the early hours of 1 January 2020,
due to the overnight rain which dumped nearly 400 millimetres (15 inch) of rainwater,
causing the Ciliwung and Cisadane rivers to overflow. At least 66 people have been killed,
and 60,000 displaced in the worst flooding in the area since 2007.
In that case I would take a train to my parents’ house and continue by ride an online
motorcycle-ride service. Secondarily, I may be able to shelter-in-place if I could not
immediately evacuate to my parents’ house. I could use pre-prepared item in my “Home
Kit” and prepare until I can safely evacuate to my parents’ house.
3. Home Preparedness and Jump Kit Checklists
I would prepare several “Home Kits” (1 at my apartment, 1 at my family’s home, 1 for
our preparedness in secondary location):
a. Food – Supplies for 5 adults at approximately 2,400 calories per day; mostly
comprised of dry goods(rice, instant porridge, instant noodle, dry bread, dry fruits,
salted fish, biscuits); canned goods (vegetables, proteins) with low-moderate amount
of sodium content. Should be stockpiled for each individual for approximately 2
weeks.
b. Medical Supplies – Bandages; medicine (prescribed for each individual family
member and as-needed antibiotics); bacitracin; alcohol wipes; suture kits; splint kits;
saline; peroxide; antiseptic solution; vitamin C.

3. c. Miscellaneous Supplies – Batteries (all varieties); tape; candles; matches; hand-
radios; 4 weather-proof hand cranked/solar power radios with additional features;
duct tape; large weather-proof plastic for doors/windows; window-ladders; fire-
extinguishers; 5 flashlights, 3 power banks.
d. Water – Water supplies for 5 adults at 1 gallon per day; water purification tablets;
bleach (un-scented); water-bottle stock-piled.
e. Edged Tools - Cleaning supplies; sharpening supplies; knife with full tang; kerambit.
f. Sanitation – 1 per person; scoop (waste dipper/gayung); shampoo; antiseptic body
wash; hazardous waste bags, and shovel to bury waste.
g. Important Records: Insurance policies and titles to all vehicles, houses; copies of birth
certificates and social security cards; health insurance card copies and groups;
contact list (names, addresses, phone numbers) of important individuals involved in
evacuation plans; cash ($400/person); education certificates; my hard disk contains
digital data of my family.
My “Jump Kit” would include:
a. Food – Non-perishable dry and canned goods; easy-to-prepare snacks, and meals
for at least 3 days.
b. Medical Supplies - First aid kit; medications for at least 7 days including as needed
antibiotics.
c. Miscellaneous Supplies – Duct Tape; water-proof matches or flint (dryer lint or dry
grape vine may be useful); flashlight with extra batteries; aforementioned weather-
proof hand crank/solar power radio with additional features (NOAA weather radio);
cell-phone with portable charger; compass with print outs of maps marked with
evacuation plans; emergency blanket; change of clothing; hat; can opener.
d. Water – One gallon rations per person per day; 3 day supply; Platypus Gravityworks
Filter; water purification tablets.
e. Important Record – Copies of personal documents; proof of address; passports and
copies of photo identification; copies of birth certificates and social security card;
insurance policies copies.
f. Edged Tools –1 knife with full tang; multi- purpose tool.
4. Contingency Plans:
I work as an environmental management consultant and most of my task are done by
working remotely. Therefore, when a disaster declared, I could be allowed to leave work
soon and focus to my pre-prepared plan.
Since I work downtown, I need approximately 2 hours (by train and motorcycle) to my
family’s home. My brother live with my parents, so he would be ready with our pre-
prepared plan in case of emergency. A local meeting place would be my family’s home in
the suburb. A secondary meeting place would be the major interception (3 km away from
my family’s home) which has a big community park and regional police station nearby as a
major assembly point in our region.

4. 5. Escape Routes or Transportation Plans (Maximum of 250 words):
Meeting Spots: Distance from Downtown
Work/Apartment to Meeting
Spot:
Method of Transportation to
Location:
Primary: Family’s
home, Bekasi
Regency
50 km train rails, back
roads. by commuter line
train and motorcycle.
Commuter line train and local
transportation (online motorcycle-
ride service or public transport)
Secondary: The
major interception in
Bekasi Regency
3 km utilizing highways Car with additional tanks of gas
6. Emergency Communication Plan:
a. Each family member has their own cellular device. We have a total of 5 cell phones
and 4 laptops.
b. If a disaster is declared, I would send both a text message and WhatsApp
messenger notifying my family to begin the disaster plan and meet at the
designated primary spot. We would utilize text messages on every hour mark to
determine each other’s location.
c. I would prepare the emergency contact list, includes regional disaster emergency
number, branch family contacts, close friends contacts, etc.
Communication plan with authorities:
To receive messages from authorities in the area I would use a weather-proof radio
with extra batteries. Since we have 4 devices, we could designate 1 device to listen
to the radio for short periods of time or to charge electronic devices for access to
emergency notification systems.
In the event you cannot use cell phones or other wireless devices:
a. Once we are all together, hand-held radios will be given out. Additional batteries
will beprovided.
b. If we are separated, each family member would be required to gather up with
neighbors (the neighborhood leader has access to contact the authorities and
provide shelter for all of neighborhood members) so we can attempt to get in
touch with one another once Internet or cell-phone services is restored.
c. If cell phones or other wireless devices do not work we would rely on the wired
land-line phone at my famly’s home.

5. 7. Maintenance Approach:
My family will hold “Monthly Preparedness Meetings” on the 1st Saturday of every month.
Each family member will bring their “Jump kits” (home and portable) to my family’s home.
We will check our own personal kits, each other’s kits, and discuss any concerns or additions
to the plan. We will keep a running itemized list of each “Jump kit” with the expiration/refill
dates of perishable items including food, water, and medicines. We will also develop a list
of supplies (including medications) each month that are in need of replacement and share
costs and responsibilities to purchase these items. We will also update any necessary
paperwork to the safe at my family’s home, practice disaster drills, and start educating
family members on various disaster survival techniques learned throughout this course. I
would like share the knowledge I have from this course to all of my family members (also
ask my brother to sign up for this course too). Hopefully we are ready and always safe!
