Mochamad Teguh, dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning at the Islamic University of Indonesia, said he recalled having to cancel classes and evacuate the campus when Mount Merapi erupted in 2010, because the university was within a 20-kilometer, or 12-mile, danger zone of its lava VDLH II=6I I>B: JC>K:GH>IN D;U8>6AH 7:<6C 9>H8JHH>C< L>I= I=:>G Hawaiian counterparts how to strengthen Indonesian education on disaster risk resilience, including preparedness, evacuation, trauma healing and disaster response. “If we are talking about disasters, it’s not only on the engineering side but a combination of social sciences, psychology, law, medicine and other faculties,” Dr. Teguh said. “If you look at the map, Indonesia is red. This is our region — we are the most disaster-prone area in the world.” Last December, two Indonesian graduate students went to study at the University of Hawaii at Manoa as part of an initiative to create a master’s degree focusing on earthquake engineering management at the Islamic University of Indonesia. Denise Eby Konan, dean of the College of Social Sciences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, says that the two universities are working to integrate their civil engineering, urban planning, community resilience and economics curricula, HD I=:N 86C7:C:UI7DI= :C<>C::GH 6C9 EA6CC:GH 0=:N 6G: 6AHD 8DDE:G6I>C< L>I= #69?6=)6961C>K:GH>IN 6C9 0D=D@J University on developing landslide early warning systems that would link Indonesian communities to U.S. databases via the ,68>U8 >H6HI:G :CI:G >C $6L6>> DAA67DG6I>DCH L>I= I=: University of the Philippines, Bicol University, also in the Philippines, and others are in the works. “Basically, we are networking with the best universities in the region, also located in the highest-risk locations, to better document, categorize, understand and take action,” she said. Twelve faculty members from Indonesian universities are studying disaster risk management at the University of Hawaii and with an eye toward how it can be applied to save lives back home. Exactly how Disaster University evolves remains to be seen.
