Mount Semeru Status Down So Alert, TNBTS BBap Buka Line Penjadian
JAKARTA - The status of Mount Semeru in East Java has dropped from Alert to Alert. The Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (BB TNBTS) is preparing a number of preparations before reopening the hiking trail on the 3,676 mdpl mountain. "There has been an announcement from PVMBG about decreasing Semeru's status from level III to level II. However, we need to prepare before climbing is opened," said Head of Administration Section of the TNBTS Center Septi Eka Wardhani in Malang City, East Java, Wednesday, July 17, which was confiscated by Antara. Secreti explained a number of preparations, including completeness of facilities and infrastructure, including readiness of Human Resources (HR) and budgets. According to him, the climb of Mount Semeru, which has been closed for a long time due to the increase in activity, will certainly attract many climbers when it is reopened. However, BB TNBTS will make a number of improvements before opening the climb.
"I am sure that many lovers of Mount Semeru have missed. But we will fix several things before Semeru opens. We do not immediately open the climb after there has been a decrease in status," he said.
