As a crossed area in the equator, 35,000 out of 75,000 villages in Indonesia are indicated as disaster-prone points. Sanitation is the initial need during the early stages of a disaster emergency response. Refugee often chooses to stay in camps with the limitations that exist. Meanwhile, Indonesia is rich in local community wisdom in responding to disasters. This research tries to bring this local potential in developing emergency sanitation facilities adapted to the sanitation culture. With a participatory design method through ethnography to map local needs, potential, and capabilities around the area to actively involve local partners so that the assembly process can be carried out independently, and through deep interviews with relevant experts. The results of this study indicate that local potential can be a new perspective to take when developing sanitation facilities. The final result is prototype modular collapsible toilets as a more compact sanitation facility based on adjusting needs in limited conditions during the critical period in the early stages of a disaster. To anticipate the existing gap between the design for emergency needs and user habits, this modular toilet is designed to change the function and role by adjusting different modules. Kit Sanitation which deserves as a kit of parts, to be placed in locations that are easy to reach in an emergency or distributed to isolated areas.
