Abstract
In the last 10 years, Mount Bromo has erupted three times; 2010, 2015 and 2019. However, it is unique that Tengger peoples are reluctant to evacuate even though Mount Bromo is erupting and releasing volcanic material such as stones and dust. Mount Bromo itself is a mountain made by caldera with an area about 10 square kilometers. This makes Mount Bromo relatively safe while an eruption occurs because volcanic material with a large size and weight will fall around the caldera, only dust that is blown by the wind will be continued as far as miles from the crater of Bromo which depends on the direction of the wind. Using the smartphone application as the Mount Bromo information facilities is one of an effort so that people and tourists can activate if an eruption occurs. There is important information about features made in the application such as shelters distribution, evacuation routes, health centers, photos, videos, and other important informations. Assesment results to the application interface, the information conveyed, and also the features offered show that the application is very useful and gives a new perspective in conveying accurate information to the public and also tourists. The level of community satisfaction is also quite good with the services provided by the Bromo preparedness application. Great expectations from the public and also respondents can see Mount Bromo further through CCTV cameras that are directly connected to the Android application.
