Kontribusi Nyata Mahasiswa dalam Manajemen Bencara
The Styles of Students in Responding to the Disasters Emergency Call

What is going on with my country? Indonesia today has a number of natural disasters everywhere around the country. Tens, hundreds or even thousands people died. Meanwhile, the victims of disaster can only wait for a helping hand from donors. Are the students sensitive enough about the current events happening in this country? A sense of empathy for the condition of the nation can be built from the knowledge and understanding.  Those can be used as triggers to create a sense of empathy that should be owned by students.
In the students’ movements and concerns, they become foundations of various parties and becoming the hope of the family, community, nation, country and even the hope of the world. However, in line with the identity of the youth and especially students, there is a contributive role to do as the logical and automatic consequence which demands to do something about what they suppose to do. There are 3 rooms for the movements. The first is the academic existence, in which academic life is a prior space that becomes the main demand and the core task of a student. It means they have 2 roles. First, they have to continuously develop themselves so that they become a responsive generation and able to face future challenges and the next one is the role that would present itself if the following character of science itself.
The second is the organization existence. Student organizations provide exceptional self-development opportunities in various aspects, such as leadership, organizational management, team building, building human relationship, entrepreneurship and so forth because it’s impossible to learn everything only in the classroom and laboratory. The organization has free events as well as a laboratory-acquired application bench science lecture because few of students who pass the course are not able to apply their knowledge due to no experience and skill in organization. In organizations, students can do many things in contributing to society in all fields, including education. In the concept of education, the effectiveness of networking and organization can make a program to lessen the economic difficulties in maintaining the sustainability of educative community. As a result, students are also expected to be an agent between society and government.
The third is social-politic existence. Students are part of the society. Students should not be the isolated entities in the middle of their own communities. They demand to see, know, realize, and feel the real condition of the people who now are overwhelmed with multidimensional crisis. Students who have the intellect are symbols of moral and intellectual responsibility to serve the community according to their intellectual competence. 

The most important basic role of the students is awareness of knowing and implementing what to do during and after disasters. This would lessen panic, paranoid and uncontrollable people running around. Awareness will stimulate what they have to do when disaster strikes and it will also lessen the death toll. Knowing what to do after disaster and at least basic first aid, will enable students help the authorities in saving people’s live. Because disaster situations tend to be so complex, addressing them requires the integration of many types of knowledge and the close cooperation of a wide variety of students. Depending on the types of disaster, students can give various helpful efforts. As a result, students must be well-trained then if there is a disaster, they are able to protect themselves and they can also help others. Student branch is the most well-informed in communities. They can spread awareness about disaster management and also form association to help when the disaster occurs.

In 2010, Indonesia was unceasingly given many ordeals. A number of disasters hit this lovely nation. One of the biggest catastrophes is Merapi’s eruption on October 26th 2010. It was a huge disaster for people in Yogyakarta. It was a nightmare during Merapi volcano excreted a great amount of volcanic material. People were evacuated to a save place avoiding destructive hot air current. Because of this disaster, many people sought refuge to save their own lives. They sheltered almost 2 months and waited lower intense of the volcano. As they waited in the shelters, many of them felt uncomfortable, bored, confuse and didn’t know what they had to do during and after the disaster. They also faced a lot of bad daily news about destructions happening at a place where they lived. It made them more anxious than before. There would not be a day for them that they didn’t think of their houses. Indeed, running life in every single line day after day would be very exhausting and heavy especially when the things they want aren’t running as expected.
In a way, Yogyakarta lost its popularity. The impacts were too great for the city well-known as Batik city. Some foreigners and students who were studying in this lovely city had chosen to come back to their homeland due to the eruption impacts. The roles of students as the agents to change this condition are required to address the existing of reality. Students should be more sensitive and more responsive in actualizing their roles. Ideally, students as young intellectuals should give a great major contribution to respond to various disasters that exist. Fortunately, some students chose to stay in Yogyakarta helping the victims of volcanic eruption. They became volunteer because the activities of learning in their universities were being postponed until Merapi showed low intense. The universities in Yogyakarta also opened their building as temporary shelter for the refugees. Being a volunteer is the right choice to provide an appropriate contribution in applying the students’ roles. They did what they could do to lessen the burden of the victims. This is a type of generosity of a student. They exert their knowledge, experience and power to help the victims. In addition, it will improve the quality and quantity of social action that focuses on the effort of improving knowledge, attitude and behavior in many sectors while enhancing students’ social sensitivity. There are a lot of ways students can do to become a volunteer in helping the victims. For instance, students can organize charity events, plunge into the street as the organized fundraisers, establish posts of disaster victims, and go to the disaster site to help and serve the communities affected by disaster. In this way, they can spread awareness much more in the other society. In the shelters, the students took care of the victims’ basic needs, organized the shelter, maintained the physiology of the victims and had to stay alert whenever they were needed. The effect of eruption also affected children during their days at the shelter. They had difficulty to adapt to such as temporary school activities in the shelter. There were some students who tried to help solving children’s problems by assisting in the education field for children in refugee camps. They tried to coordinate and accompany them to conduct teaching and learning activities. In this case, students gave mental motivation, game and other supports. In other words, students can help in rehabilitation and resettlement of victims in order to support them in preparing their life after disaster.
After disaster, students are expected to support acceleration of reconstruction and rehabilitation in the victims’ neighbors. So, it’s like preventing disaster at their home. In the case of Merapi’s eruption, the victim could not be left alone because this is the moment where they need help the most. Students can help based on their specialties. For instance, the students from architecture and civil engineering can help the victims to rebuild their houses, the students from medical help to create a good environmental health, students from agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry can recover their problems about their livelihoods. In managing the catastrophic change, the students can also concept the resilience which is the basic of emergency management and response. It refers to the ability of a social-ecological system to tolerate disturbances and recover the essential feature of the system return to earlier state. Following a disaster resilient system, the students help the victims in retaining the structures, feedback mechanisms, functions and identity that existed prior to the disturbance (Baker and Refsgaard, 2007). Resilience in social systems is different from natural ecosystems that may be increased or decreased by human actions during the onset of a potentially disastrous situation. In children’s education, the volcano eruption also brought negative impact on the sustainability of children’s education in the areas affected. There were many school facilities destroyed and damaged by the eruption which can’t be used again. Associated with the necessary handling to this problem, students are able to become teacher to run the learning activities. Students can also organize books and uniforms fundraisers to solve the deficiency of learning material. It is really useful to motivate children’s studying desire.
Other form of philanthropy is when students can utilize the existing technology like number of social networks such as facebook, twitter, kaskus, etc. Technologies nowadays have big influence in many sectors. These kinds of technologies can be used as an action of fundraising in cyberspace that the result is bigger than just plunge into the street. The right evidences of the technology usage, like social network can cause great response not only in Indonesia but also around the world. In summary, student become information centers to spread information that is needed for donors who want to help during disaster.
Students are expected not only during emergency response, but also as they enter the stage of post disaster recovery and reconstruction. Cooperation with government is expected to set up temporary shelters, while restoring the economic life of victim’s villages so that such efforts are able to build an independent society. The disruption that follows a disaster presents opportunities for a change, such as in infrastructure, natural resource management and the policy environment that would not be possible prior to the disaster. Students have great functions to open policy windows and determining the goals of communities during times of relative stability which can enhance the rebuilding effort. The lessons learned during a catastrophe such as Merapi’s Eruption are brought at a high price in human life. If there is a positive aspect to a disaster, it is that the disruption forces change and these changes can be made for the better. Students’ development in disaster response training requires adoption of new frameworks that promote coordination and rapid response. It will strengthen development programs that provide tangible disaster benefits, such as strengthening of civil society that are the key of elements in creating social, human, ecological and economic capital. Students did what they supposed to do by giving the best immediate assistance to the victims in emergencies and mobilizing all the potential they have.

Quote of the Students
"Prove that students do not only function as a social control of government, but also can be a real solution to
 the problems in the community directly. Move the fundraising directly or be a volunteer! "
