This second year's research aims to test the development of the Early Warning System For Fire Catcher application resulting from the first year's research, as an implementable system application prototype. System development prototype with the implementation of the Early Warning System into the implementation of internal control, mitigation and disaster preparedness for forest fires. This is based on the research background, namely that there are problems with the impact of forest, land and yard fires in Sumatra which have a high chance of causing a disaster. The research method planned in this study is descriptive analysis which describes the system analysis pengembangan that will be applied to forestry management organizations. The research method is supported by data collection techniques, namely through Forum Group Discussions (FGD), workshops, interviews and documentation. Research on the development of an Early Warning System is very important to do in Indonesia because implementation targets can be used to determine profitable application designs early in the system's life cycle. In the first year (2022) a system application prototype was created and reported in the form of a research report on the Early Warning System, which was then compiled and published in the Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences. In the second year (2023), the researchers continued the process of collecting data through questionnaires to increase the level of participation of respondents who have an interest in mitigating the prevention and handling of forest fires. This was done in order to obtain a broader picture regarding the implementation of the development of the Early Warning System prototype which already has rights and intellectual certificates from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property. This research is expected to have contributions and benefits for academics (future researchers and the other academic community), research on system development and mapping is useful for increasing lecturer competence in implementing the three points of Higher Education. The results to be achieved are the successful development of an early warning system development to detect forest fires of which being recorded in manual guide book as well as extensive Scopus indexed publications in Indonesia and the world as outputs in the first and second years of this research.
