Adaptive management in disaster crisis: Role analysis in cross-sector collaboration

Abstract

Effective disaster management requires cross-actor collaboration within adaptive governance. This study examines the role of the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency in implementing disaster governance in Lampung Province. The collaboration with other agencies remains limited and passive. Existing coordination tends to be internal, lacking clear standard procedures. Although the agency has made efforts to build social capital through digital communication and direct interaction, community involvement in decision-making is still minimal. Community empowerment and participatory communication mechanisms are key to enhancing disaster response. Furthermore, the development of employee capacity through data-driven training and partnerships with other institutions demonstrates its commitment to strengthening adaptive governance.
Contribution: This study provides a comprehensive understanding of adaptive governance in disaster management by identifying specific gaps in collaboration and suggesting practical, actionable solutions for improving inter-agency coordination and community engagement.
