Disaster studies are interesting studies that will always require dynamic changes, but local governments must be able to provide good policies. With system replication, disasters are downstream but must be accompanied by upstream problems which become the basis for being resolved early. The regional government replicated the application-based satellite system public service innovation to detect disaster points, with the hope of being more responsive so that it can respond earlier to disasters in Meranti Islands Regency. The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Meranti Islands Regency realizes that geographically it is difficult to reach disaster points in this region because this district consists of several islands and access to reach these areas takes quite a long time.
