The Role of Stakeholders in the Handling of the Exposure Flood Disaster of Lake Tempe in South Sulawesi

Lake Tempe flooding was a routine phenomenon happening hundreds of years from water entering several rivers, namely the Walannae River, Bila River, Batu-Batu River and Bilokka River. When the rainy season arrived, the water discharge was abundant so that it inundated the lake and the surrounding residential areas were affected. In mitigating the Lake Tempe flood disaster, the government was supported by fifteen elements including elements of the Indonesian National Army (TNI), the Indonesian National Police (POLRI), BPBD, Disaster Management Operational Control Center (PUSDALOP), Rapid Reaction Team (TRC) ), Social Service, Disaster Preparedness Organization (TAGANA), Fire and Rescue Service, Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP), Health Service, Transportation Service, Lamadukkelleng General Hospital, Bina Marga Service Construction and Spatial Management Services, and District and Village government. Apart from government elements, the responsiveness of the community in dealing with the Lake Tempe flood in Wajo Regency was not only from the fishing community but also from the Wajo people at large. Community response to participate in helping communities affected by Lake Tempe floods was very high. This proved that many community organizations are involved to help provide assistance in dealing with floods.
