Volcanic eruptions can be detected through several warning signs. The Indonesian National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) reported that between 2010 and 2021, Indonesia experienced 156 volcanic eruptions. The most recent occurred in 2021 when Mount Semeru erupted, forcing 10,395 people to evacuate, injuring 104, and causing 51 fatalities. The BNPB often experiences problems in carrying out mitigation, evacuation, rehabilitation, and reconstruction in disaster areas. On average, the search and evacuation process for victims takes about 3-7 days, so the probability of finding disaster victims is only about 50%. The proposed solution is a combination of radio transmission with Auto Packet Reporting System (APRS) technology as a medium for determining evacuation locations and Slow-Scan Television (SSTV) as a medium for transmitting audio and images of disaster sites, called Radio All-in-One (RAIONE). Using the Prototype method, this research has been tested for about 7 months with continuous improvements. The results show that the maximum distance covered is approximately 20 km with a minimum central antenna height of 7-10 meters, which increases the time effectiveness of SAR operations. The probability of finding survivors in a disaster increases to 75%, and SAR operations speed up to 1-2 days because of acceleration in the determination of search and evacuation locations in the Blank Spot Areas, reaching 91.30%.
