Abstract
In an increasingly connected world, effective disaster response and mitigation demand the integration of advanced technologies. This study investigates the synergistic role of digital communication, visualization, and the Jabar Command Center (JCC) in optimizing disaster management strategies. Focusing on the West Java region, this research offers a comprehensive analysis of how digital communication channels enhance information dissemination, and how visualization techniques aid in situational awareness during disasters. Through an exploration of JCC^s functions, the study assesses its effectiveness in leveraging digital tools for timely and coordinated responses. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative data, the research delves into case studies and success stories, highlighting the impact of the integrated approach on disaster management outcomes. Moreover, challenges and limitations related to technology utilization are addressed. This study contributes to the understanding of the interplay between digital communication, visualization, and disaster response, and provides recommendations for optimizing these components to build resilient disaster management systems.
