Abstract

Across the Indonesia Archipelago, children are affected by multiple disasters such as floods, earthquake, tsunami, forest fires and now exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Children and schools should be protected from disasters. During 1967–2020, 37,430 schools are damaged due to natural disasters in Indonesia. Since, March 16, 2020 virtually days without going to school. This research aims to unfold the convergence of Children Centred Approach and Multi Hazard Early Warning Systems in Indonesia as an effort to build resilience. This research is a case study of the mobile application called BUMIKITA which is translated to OUR WORLD by Save the Children in Indonesia. The location of the research is at the provincial level in Jakarta, West Java, Bali, and West Nusa Tenggara. The mobile app is potential to be developed into a Children Centred Multi Hazard Early Warning System. Currently there is still a few numbers of downloads with about 1000 users within a couple of months. Aggressive promotions are needed with an opportunity to collaborate with government agencies such as the Ministry of Education and Disaster Management Agencies to proliferate the mobile app to be utilized by parents, teachers, and children.
