pascaserangan

Pascaserangan is a term used to refer to the period following an attack or incident, encompassing the immediate aftermath, response, recovery, and evaluation. The phrase combines the Indonesian prefix pasca-, meaning after, with serangan, meaning attack, and is used across security studies, emergency management, criminology, and disaster response to describe post-incident activities and analysis.

In physical attacks, such as acts of terrorism, mass violence, or bombing, pascaserangan covers activities including emergency medical care, casualty reporting, search and rescue, incident stabilization, security reinforcements, public safety communications, and initial forensics. It also includes the early stages of investigation, documentation for accountability, preservation of evidence, and the beginning of community recovery and memorial efforts. In cybersecurity or cyber-physical incidents, the post-attack phase involves containment, remediation, system restoration, data integrity checks, post-incident forensics, regulatory reporting, and lessons learned to improve defenses and response plans.

Management during pascaserangan emphasizes resilience and continuity: coordinating responders, communicating with the public, supporting affected individuals, and assessing damages and long-term needs. It also involves evaluating response effectiveness, updating plans, and integrating mental health support for victims and responders. Researchers study pascaserangan to understand recovery timelines, effectiveness of interventions, and to develop indicators for measuring resilience, accountability, and the overall readiness of communities and organizations to withstand future incidents.
