On flood disaster response phase, one of important activity to be done is fulfilling IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) needs. It needs support of correct data on short time that can be accessed by many institutions. Sukoharjo regency is one of regencies in Java Island passed by Bengawan Solo river experiencing annual flood. Needs fulfillment for flood victims in this area is currently done by receiving IDP data from phone call and using manual calculation. This research aims to improve information exchange during disaster response phase by utilizing SMS and automatic needs calculation to determine IDP needs in real time. This research discusses more about the use of SMS gateway and RDBMS to do real time needs estimation. It also focuses on using OGC standard maps on Emergency Information System (EIS) so that maps can be used by many parties. This research uses interview and literature review to understand real condition of IDP needs fulfillment. Researcher conducts user need assessment to know user requirements for proposed EIS prototype. This research involves local government agencies which are BPBD, Dinas Sosial, PMI, and SAR. Moreover, formats of predefined SMS are designed to allow system recognizes input data from SMS. Formula for need conversion is formulated from government regulations and actual needs of flood victims. On development process, SMS gateway application used is Gammu. Maps applied in EIS use OGC standards which are WMS and GML. Database servers utilized are MySQL for system database and PostgreSQL/ PostGIS for storing dynamic spatial data. Evaluation done is divided into user and system evaluation. User evaluation shows that in general users are satisfied with web appearance and functionalities. Meanwhile, system evaluation indicates that the use of Geoserver to produce WMS map has limitations especially in manual scripting. Furthermore, the use of dual database servers is not efficient in term of database management, system building, and content updating. Finally, the use of EIS prototype shows that real time calculation for IDP needs can be done in real time utilizing SMS gateway and RDBMS. The implementation of OGC standard maps helps various parties to use the maps without making further adjustments.
