Being Aware of the Multi-Risk of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Universitas Indonesia > News > Faculty of Public Health News > Being Aware of the Multi-Risk of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Prof. dr. Mondastri Korib Sudaryo, M.S., D.Sc., a professor at the Universitas Indonesia (UI) who was inaugurated on Saturday (11/12), said that various disasters, including floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and the Covid-19 pandemic, originated from the unbalanced interaction between hazard, vulnerability, exposure, andcapacity. He conveyed this in his inaugural speech entitled “Being Aware of the Multi-Risk of the Covid-19 Pandemic and Other Disasters in Indonesia.”

According to Mondastri, the quantity of disaster risk can be estimated using a scoring system as developed by BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency). “Each component of disaster risk has several parameters that are determined by their scores or values. From the scores or values of all disaster risk components, using the above formula that is given a weighted value, a disaster risk value for each type of hazard in an area can be calculated, which is called the disaster risk index,” he said.

Based on this, several types of hazards in the same area can result in a multi-hazard. Multi-hazard is defined as a combination of two or more hazards from different sources occurring simultaneously or even more often, one hazard follows another with strong combined destructive power.

“Multiple hazards when interacting with three other aspects, namely vulnerability, exposure, and capacity, which are also combined, can eventually lead to multiple disaster risks. BNPB in the period from 2015 to 2020 has created a disaster risk index throughout Indonesia up to the district level based on the multi-hazard of nine kinds of natural hazards,namely floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, landslides, extreme waves and abrasion, extreme weather droughts,” said Mondastri.

“From the calculation of the disaster risk index at the provincial level, not a single province has a low disaster risk index. All provinces are in medium and high status. Out of 34 provinces, 19 provinces (56%) have a high risk index,” he said again.

He said that the Indonesian archipelago is geographically located in thenatural hazard areaand still have to deal with and control the Covid-19 pandemic, which is very dynamic and difficult to predict. Thus, the government should start preparing itself to focus on multi-risk management that integrates disaster risk management from natural hazards and from the Covid-19 pandemic (with the main emphasis on preparedness and acceleration of its disaster risk reduction strategy). In order for the strategy to be implemented, he should see the need to strengthen partnership cooperation between the governments, academics, and stakeholders.

Mondastri’s inauguration activities as a professor and nine other professors were broadcast live virtually through Universitas Indonesia’s Youtube channel and attended by invited guests such as ASSOC. Prof. Mathuros Tipayamongkholgul, Ph.D. (Chairman of the Master of Public Health Program (International Program), Budiawansyah, ST, MKKK (the Director of Strategic Permitting & GA), and Dr. Siti Nadia, M.Epid. (the Director of P2PML).

Mondastri is the elected dean of the Faculty of Public Health UI for the 2021-2025 period. Apart from the field of infectious disease epidemiology, Mondastri also pursues disaster epidemiology. In 2006, he founded the Health Research Center for Crisis and Disaster (HRCCD) FKM UI and led it until 2018. He also helped build the Disaster Risk Reduction Center (DRRC) UI.

He completed his undergraduate program at the Faculty of Medicine UI, then chose a life path as an educator by joining the Epidemiology Department of FKM UI in 1990. A year later he continued his studies at UCLA, USA, earning a Master of Science in Epidemiology in 1994. He then deepened his knowledge in epidemiology at Erasmus University, the Netherlands, and completed his Doctor of Science in 2000.

Mondastri wrote scientific papers in the area of public health studies, including Acute Infection following Flood Disaster: An example from Bojonegoro District, East Java, Indonesia (2020); South Sulawesi Preparedness in Facing Covid-19: Indonesia’s Experience in Handling COVID-19 Outbreaks in 17 Provinces (2020); Injury Characteristics and Treatment Seeking of Survivors after the 2009 Earthquake in Padang (2019); and Determinants that Increase the Risk of HIV Infection among Inmates of Correctional Institutions and Detention Centers in Indonesia: A Literature Review Study 2007-2017 (2019).
