Advancing a Single Disaster Data for Sumatera Through a Ministerial and Agency Reconciliation Forum

BPS held a disaster data reconciliation as a cross-ministerial/institutional forum aimed at harmonizing concepts, definitions, and disaster figures as a common reference (20/2). This is a strategic step in strengthening cross-ministerial and institutional synergy to produce harmonized, consistent, and integrated disaster data. This forum is an important part of realizing Single Disaster Data, in line with BPS's mandate as the coordinator of single data management for post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction in accordance with Presidential Decree No.1 of 2026.

Disaster data reconciliation was carried out by involving BPS, technical ministries/institutions, state-owned enterprises, and related agencies. Through the process of inventory, technical discussion, and determination of reconciliation results, this activity was expected to strengthen the foundation of Single Disaster Data and support rapid and evidence-based decision-making in national disaster management.
