Natural disasters that happen in Indonesia contribute to the failure of telecommunication infrastructure in the affected area. As a result, the area is isolated from all forms of telecommunication. The act of Search and Rescue (SAR) done over the vicinity is often ineffective as there is lack of bird’s eye view and visualization of the compound; coordination among SAR teams is done through devices that only support voice communication, which does not provide a detailed picture of the ongoing situation. An alternative to overcome this problem is Disaster Mitigation Kit (DIRGA KIT). DIRGA KIT is composed of two main devices: Portable Emergency Transceiver Station (PETS) and Rescuer Telecommunication Pack (RESPACK). However, a means to integrate both items and perform visualization of recorded data is needed to assist users, which is System Interface and Integrator (SYSTER). SYSTER consists of two components: integrator and graphical user interface (GUI). Integration is achieved with a mesh network utilizing B.A.T.M.A.N routing protocol and is supported with secure shell (SSH). The GUI is a web application built with Flask microframework and equipped with features to ease usage. A form of database is also added: InfluxDB. Parameters tested in this research are success of device connection and GUI functions. Result of this research has proven that devices are interconnected and are able to communicate. Moreover, the following features are added on GUI and functions fully: display PETS’s and RESPACK’s GPS footprint on a map, display potential areas with victims, download data from PETS and RESPACK, configure PETS, display and delete PETS’s subscribers list, and display camera shots taken with RESPACK.
