Abstract

The Central Java region is the highest disaster-prone region in Indonesia in the period January - May 2019. The disasters occurred, in total of 554 times, with a total of 14 fatalities, 7 injured, 98,208 affected and displaced. Natural disasters cannot be avoided, but their impact can be minimized with good management. Disaster management and anticipation include utilizing information systems. A good information system is a system that makes it easy for users. The level of usefulness of this system, must be measured whether this system will be useful or not. This research is focused on testing the interface of the Disaster Information System belongs to BNPB Magelang. The method used is Planning and Analysis, Usability Evaluation, Data Analysis and Data Presentation. This measurement is done by the usability testing method. Based on the measurement results of the usability level of the Disaster Information System, a value of 3.35 was obtained. Based on the Linkert Scale, this system is said to be Usable. The results of the research can describe the reusability level of disaster information systems and to recommend in improving aspects of reusability.
