PetaBencana.id provides residents, government agencies, and first responders with a real-time disaster information sharing system at an unprecedented scale. It is the first platform of its kind to harness the power of crowdsourcing through social media to aid humanitarian response and recovery.
Key Stats (2024):
213 M+ Users
47,000+ People Trained in Disaster Risk Reduction
900+ Humanitarian Organizations Using the Data
>70% faster response and aid delivery
According to a recent independent evaluation:
“
The evaluation findings confirm that what began as a digital tool for disaster reporting has evolved into a civic movement—one that is reshaping how entire societies respond to risk, govern uncertainty, and adapt to the climate crisis. This civic infrastructure has
significantly sped up the emergency response process, resulting in rapid evacuation and aid delivery.
Its impacts reach far beyond disaster response:
-
Education resilience: Fewer school absences during extreme weather keep children learning and help break cycles of poverty.
- Women’s leadership: Greater participation in household and community decision-making strengthens collective resilience.
- Collective intelligence: By integrating citizen-generated data directly into government systems, the platforms have transformed disaster governance itself, dismantling information assymetries, advancing climate democracy
Built with communities through a proven method of deep localization, these open-source platforms demonstrate a new model for ethical, participatory technology development that is globally adaptable, cost-effective, and locally owned. ”
