Pesan tersebut mengemuka dalam Dialog Kebangsaan Sosialisasi Empat Pilar MPR RI: Penguatan Kesiapsiagaan Berbasis Pengetahuan Lokal yang digelar Skala Indonesia bersama MPR RI dan BNPB, berkolaborasi dengan BPBD Provinsi Jawa Tengah, Friday (27/2/2026), di Kantor BPBD Provinsi Jawa Tengah, Kota Semarang.

Mengangkat tema “Local Champion sebagai Garda Terdepan Ketangguhan Komunitas”, kegiatan ini mempertemukan pemerintah, relawan, community, dan pegiat kebencanaan untuk membahas bagaimana pengetahuan lokal dapat diperkuat menjadi bagian dari strategi kesiapsiagaan bencana.

Kegiatan tersebut menghadirkan Lestari Moerdijat, Wakil Ketua MPR RI, sebagai pemberi sambutan kunci. Diskusi juga menghadirkan Pangarso Suryotomo, Plt. Deputi Bidang Kesiapsiagaan BNPB, and Trinimalaningrum, Director of Scale Indonesia, sebagai narasumber. Diskusi dimoderatori oleh Abdurahman Heriza, Kepala Divisi Riset Skala Indonesia.

Ancaman Bencana Semakin Kompleks

Indonesia menghadapi ancaman bencana yang berulang dan semakin kompleks.  Sepanjang 2025 terjadi lebih dari 2.942 kejadian bencana di berbagai provinsi, dengan sekitar 70 persen di antaranya merupakan bencana hidrometeorologi seperti banjir, tanah longsor, dan badai tropis.

Kondisi tersebut memperlihatkan bahwa pengurangan risiko bencana membutuhkan keterlibatan masyarakat sejak sebelum bencana terjadi. Kesiapsiagaan perlu dibangun mulai dari tingkat keluarga, community, hingga lingkungan pemerintahan lokal.

Jawa Tengah, dengan karakter wilayah dan keragaman masyarakatnya, juga membutuhkan pendekatan kesiapsiagaan yang tidak hanya bertumpu pada sistem formal, tetapi mampu mengintegrasikan pengalaman dan pengetahuan masyarakat dalam menghadapi ancaman bencana.

Kearifan Lokal Jadi Modal Ketangguhan

Di tengah berbagai ancaman tersebut, masyarakat Indonesia memiliki kekayaan pengetahuan lokal yang berkembang dari pengalaman menghadapi lingkungan dan bencana.

Pengetahuan tersebut dapat berupa sistem peringatan tradisional, pola adaptasi terhadap lingkungan, maupun praktik gotong royong ketika menghadapi situasi darurat. However, pengetahuan lokal tersebut belum seluruhnya terdokumentasi dan terintegrasi secara optimal dengan sistem kesiapsiagaan modern.

Karena itu, dialog kebangsaan ini mendorong agar kearifan lokal tidak hanya dipandang sebagai warisan budaya, tetapi juga sebagai sumber strategi dalam membangun kesiapsiagaan masyarakat.

Local Champion Jadi Penghubung

Salah satu aktor penting yang menjadi perhatian dalam kegiatan ini adalah local champion. Mereka dapat berasal dari tokoh masyarakat, kader desa, relawan, maupun pegiat komunitas yang memiliki kedekatan langsung dengan masyarakat.

Local champion memiliki peran strategis sebagai penghubung antara pengetahuan lokal dengan pendekatan kebencanaan yang lebih sistematis. Mereka dapat membantu mengidentifikasi risiko di wilayahnya, menyampaikan informasi, membangun komunikasi risiko, sekaligus menggerakkan masyarakat untuk melakukan tindakan kesiapsiagaan.

Penguatan kapasitas local champion diharapkan dapat mendorong lahirnya lebih banyak penggerak masyarakat yang mampu membangun budaya kesiapsiagaan dari tingkat paling dekat dengan warga.

Gotong Royong sebagai Kekuatan Sosial

Penguatan kesiapsiagaan berbasis komunitas juga memiliki keterkaitan erat dengan nilai-nilai kebangsaan yang terkandung dalam Empat Pilar MPR RI, yakni Pancasila, UUD Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945, Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia, dan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika.

Nilai gotong royong, solidaritas, persatuan, dan partisipasi kolektif menjadi modal sosial yang penting ketika masyarakat menghadapi ancaman bencana.

Dalam konteks ini, kesiapsiagaan bukan semata-mata persoalan teknis. Ia juga merupakan bagian dari upaya memperkuat hubungan sosial dan kemampuan masyarakat untuk saling membantu ketika menghadapi situasi krisis.

Membangun Ketangguhan Melalui Kolaborasi

Dialog Kebangsaan tersebut juga menegaskan pentingnya kolaborasi lintas sektor. Government, business world, College, organisasi masyarakat, community, dan media memiliki peran yang saling melengkapi dalam membangun ketangguhan masyarakat.

Melalui kolaborasi tersebut, pengetahuan lokal dapat diidentifikasi dan didokumentasikan, kemudian dikembangkan menjadi bagian dari perencanaan kesiapsiagaan yang lebih terstruktur.

Kegiatan ini diarahkan untuk menghasilkan sejumlah keluaran, antara lain peta pengetahuan lokal terkait kesiapsiagaan bencana, rencana aksi kesiapsiagaan berbasis komunitas, peningkatan kapasitas local champion, serta dokumentasi praktik baik.

Lebih jauh, pendekatan tersebut diharapkan mampu membentuk komunitas yang lebih tangguh, meningkatkan peran local champion sebagai agen perubahan, mengintegrasikan pengetahuan lokal ke dalam strategi kesiapsiagaan, serta memperkuat solidaritas sosial berbasis nilai kebangsaan.

Dari Warga untuk Ketangguhan Bersama

Pada akhirnya, membangun ketangguhan tidak dapat dilakukan oleh satu institusi saja. Ketangguhan lahir ketika masyarakat memiliki pengetahuan, kapasitas, jaringan, dan ruang untuk mengambil peran dalam menghadapi risiko di wilayahnya.

Melalui penguatan local champion, pengetahuan lokal dan nilai gotong royong diharapkan dapat menjadi kekuatan yang memperkuat kesiapsiagaan masyarakat Jawa Tengah.

Reason, masyarakat yang tangguh bukan hanya masyarakat yang mampu bertahan ketika bencana datang, tetapi masyarakat yang mampu mengenali risikonya, mempersiapkan diri, saling menguatkan, dan bangkit bersama.

Data states that the Baribis Fault is an active fault that stretches from east to west of the island of Java. The Baribis Fault is the longest fault on the island of Java. This fault crosses south of Indramayu[1], west side of Subang and Purwakarta, Karawang, Cibatu (Bekasi), Depok, Jakarta to Tangerang and Rangkasbitung. Keberadaan Sesar ini masih menjadi dugaan bahkan disebut-sebut sebagai ancaman besar bagi Jakarta.

This fault stretches along 25 Km in South Jakarta. This fault is responsible for the earthquake in 1834 in Bogor with force 7.0 Mw which causes mass destruction in the surrounding area. This fault shifted again this year 1862 and caused a powerful earthquake 6.5 Mw in Karawang Regency

As a country whose geological location is in the regionring of firewhich is very disaster prone, Indonesia is seen as not yet maximizing collective memory and local knowledge as a form of disaster risk reduction. Unwritten knowledge becomes the local wisdom of the community, just a legend, story of mouth, local poetry, song/song, dll.

On this basis, Indonesian scale together School of Strategic and Global Studies, University of Indonesia (SKSG-UI), Association of Indonesian Geologists (IAGI) supported by USAID-KUAT held this investigation with a disaster mitigation research mission calledBaribis Fault Expeditionto the West Java region, including Bekasi, Purwakarta, Sumedang, Majalengka, Subang, Bogor dan Depok.

“Tracking through this expedition is very important, because literacy about the history of disasters in Indonesia is spread in various regions, both in the form of oral and written traditions, through ancient texts. And there is still very little information about the history of disasters in Indonesia, which is traced through oral traditions and also written traditions through various existing ancient manuscripts. Especially related to threats in Jakarta, which is suspected to be due to movement of the Baribis fault, there is still very limited information.” This is according to Trinirmalaningrum, Direktur Skala Indonesia.

Meanwhile USAID-KUAT expressed its support for the implementation of the Baribis Expedition. “USAID KUAT really supports this activity, and glad that this expedition will be

along urban and rural areas crossed by the Baribis Fault," explained Bill Marsden, Project Director USAID KUAT-Miyamoto International. Marsden also added, that when a large earthquake occurred, it was destructive in 2018 1834 which is thought to be caused by the Baribis Fault, The population of Java Island was still much smaller than it is now. Unfortunately until now, with an increasingly high and dense population, especially in urban areas, Most house developments still do not pay attention to earthquake resistance aspects. as a result, Damage and loss often arise even if the earthquake shock is small. So that, when an earthquake due to the Baribis Fault occurs, dampak dan kerugian yang timbul bisa sangat signifikan.

"Therefore, The Baribis Expedition is very important to find out traces of earthquake disasters in the past, help formulate mitigation strategies in the present, and also increase public knowledge about simple steps that can be taken to be more resilient in facing earthquakes", ujar Marsden lagi.

Person in Charge of the Baribis Fault Expedition Team, Trinirmala Ningrum, explain, The Baribis fault was chosen because there is still very little literacy about this fault. Based on several records, people in the areas that the expedition team will traverse have experienced damage due to earthquakes, for example in the Nunuk village area, Majalengka, they still perform various traditional ceremonies, after the earthquake occurred, This is an initial indication that needs to be re-examined, for example, bagaimana ingatan kolektif tersebut masih terus dipelihara.

“Of course the results of this research will be given to the local government, as part and reference to build community awareness in the region, " Said Trinirmala. It must be admitted that so far our approach has been based on developing technology. We forget the most important thing is how to increase literacy in society, especially for efforts to minimize the loss of life caused by the earthquake and tsunami,said Trinirmala

12 Young Researchers Explore the Baribis Fault Route

This Baribis Fault Expedition involves 12 a researcher with a historical background, Sociology, Anthropology and Geology. Later the research team will conduct research in the area thought to be traversed by the Baribis fault. Specifically, the team will also assess the village's resilience in accordance with BNPB Perka Number 1/2012 as well as assessing resilient cities using several indicators set by UNDRR – the UN Agency for Disaster Risk Reduction. Riset ini akan dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei.

Whereas, outputfrom the expedition, that is, to make a book, popular article, short videos and documentaries. Which one, This will also be followed by a series of public discussions on disaster knowledge and threats. "We will later advocate the results of this expedition to the government so that it can be used as a consideration in its policy,” he concluded.(THAT)
