Abstract
Our purpose in this paper is to determine the minimum
standards of emergency goods to be made available
to persons adversely affected by earthquakes to
implement quick, accountable emergency response activities.
Our results show the minimum standards for
emergency earthquake relief goods well-suited to Indonesia’s
local population. Our results are expected
to be used to help define the types of emergency goods
required following a disastrous earthquake. Our research
includes information about a variety of emergency
goods determined through questionnaires distributed
to the earthquake-affected persons once designated
as internally displaced persons (IDPs). Those
answering questionnaires were asked to rate the importance
of goods based on their experience during
postearthquake evacuation.
