This training also as an intial step for Ambon Direx activity which will be held in the near future. The training using data of Bromo Volcano and Raung Volcano as training data data and used by participant to make scenario contingency planning for those volcano.

This training was not really technical training because participants mostly involved into discussion and calculate impacted data from Bromo Volcano and Raung Volcano hazard. The participant divided into 2 big groups where each group has one volcano to be calculated for its impact and make contingency planning of it. From there, each group has given printed map of Hazard Zone Bromo Volcano and Raung Volcano as their disscussion tool . They have to answer some questions below from that map.

They taughted simple steps about how to add data that needed and then running the scenario in InaSAFE until they get result for affected objects of the volcano hazard such as building, infastructure, people, road and land use. Those data later will be used by each group to make their contingency planning.

The training closed with presentation from each group. They present their contingency planning scenario based on data that they get from InaSAFE. Main goal from this training is to give participant empirical experience to directly involved to make a contingency planning and using InaSAFE to get data that can be used in their contingency planning as well.
