A Analysis of Human Resource Development of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) After the Cianjur Earthquake Disaster

-

Abstract

A major earthquake can kill many and cause enormous damage.   Cianjur Regency, West Java, experienced a 5.6-magnitude earthquake at 13.21 WIB on Monday (21/11/2022). The earthquake caused significant physical and intangible damage to the local population.   This study examines the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) in Cianjur Regency's human resource development, specifically volunteer training after an earthquake.   The study used observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation to acquire qualitative and quantitative data.   SWOT Analysis, SWOT Matrix, IFAS, and EFAS are used for data analysis.   The sample had 15 people: two primary and 13 supporting informants.   The findings showed that PMI Cianjur Regency's volunteer human resources have been successfully implemented, but they should be maintained regardless of a crisis.   The challenges of improving PMI volunteers' human resources include financial constraints, suboptimal community engagement, insufficient socialization by PMI, volunteers' lack of initiative, divergent behaviors and habits, and the need for better training facilities and infrastructure.   The SWOT analysis matrix places the HR development plan in quadrant one, indicating assertiveness. This means the firm must constantly optimize its strengths and possibilities to expand and advance.    PMI Cianjur Regency is lucky to be able to continue human resources development to improve its volunteers' skills even in difficult situations..
