AusAID Jakarta’s Disaster Response Plan is designed to be a consolidated one-stop resource for senior management and staff members who are likely to get involved in managing natural disasters. It incorporates key messages and procedures from previous Emergency Response Resource Manuals (2005 and October 2008) and the Emergency Duty Phone Guidelines (April 2010). The Disaster Response Plan captures lessons from disaster experiences in Indonesia, especially since the 2009 West Sumatra Earthquake. It also reflects rapidly evolving disaster trends and dynamics in Indonesia as well as the Asia Pacific region.
