BACKGROUND

Indonesia is an archipelagic state with vast territory which located between some tectonics plate, that naturally makes Indonesia very vulnerable to natural disasters, like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic activities, floods, droughts, landslides, lava flows, flash floods, also rainstorms or tornadoes. Other than that, as a country with tropic climate at equator line, Indonesia has high rainfall percentage which its function can be developed in fulfilling water needs in various sectors, mainly to support foods sustainability through irrigation management, domestic water, industry and environmental control. However the extreme characteristic of water also causing a lot of destructive forces which has to be controlled so that the negative impact inflicted could be minimalized. Moreover with rapid growth of human population around the vulnerable area, this issues need to be handled with full attention.

MTPBA UGM has arranged post-graduate study program to contrive professional and reliable human resources mastered in engineering natural disasters management, who expertise in making analysis, evaluation, and synthesis based on engineering knowledge in managing natural disasters activities before, the emergency response phase, or rehabilitation and reconstruction, mainly counter-measures in physical technic befitting with the reference or provision in Indonesia National Qualification Structures which already stated in Presidential Decree No. 8 2012.
