Abstract:
Given the ever-increasing number of natural disasters, disaster management must be understood and implemented by all parties in a manner that includes green management and technology. This research begins with the problem of disaster preparedness management which currently uses less environmentally friendly facilities and infrastructure, including using tents with conventional structures and technological systems that are less flexible and require electricity with a gasoline-fueled generator. The aim of this research is to create a green technology-based disaster response facility in the form of an inflatable tent prototype for disaster preparedness using solar electricity. The method used in this study is experimental, designing and manufacturing prototype inflatable tents that use solar power plants. Tests are carried out on several variables: strength of tarpaulins, speed in construction and disassembly, comfort of air temperature, and performance of solar power generation. The results are of the experimental method are: the design and application of two prototype inflatable tents dimensions 6x9 square meters with a capacity of 20 patients, a 3,600 WP power plant using solar power, and a VRLA battery with a voltage capacity of 48 volts and a current of 200 Ah that is capable storing 4,800 watts of electricity. Thus, these devices meet electricity needs for air conditioning, lighting, and medical equipment in inflatable tents without using electricity from the state electricity company or gasoline generators.
