JAKARTA - The government continues to accelerate post-disaster recovery through accelerating the construction of permanent housing (huntap) in a number of areas, such as North Tapanuli and South Tapanuli (North Sumatra) along with the construction of temporary housing (huntara) for people affected by disasters.
Reported by ANTARA, the government is currently speeding up the construction of huntap in several disaster-affected areas.
In Dolok Nauli Village, Adian Koting District, North Tapanuli Regency, the foundation huntap construction has begun in Simate Mate Village.
The President's Media Team said that 103 houses would be built on land with an area of more than two hectares which was a grant from the North Tapanuli Regency Government (Pemkab).
The construction of the huntap is supported by the Ministry of Housing and Settlements (PKP). The houses built are Type 36 with two bedrooms and are intended for disaster victims whose houses are severely damaged, lost, or in the red zoning area.
The Head of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of North Tapanuli Regency, Budiman Gultompekan, then conveyed that the construction of the huntap was targeted to be completed on April 21, 2026.
The acceleration of huntap development was also carried out in South Tapanuli Regency. In Sigala-gala Village, Batang Toru District, as many as 227 huntap are being built for residents affected by the large flood in the Batang Toru River Basin (DAS).
Based on field monitoring results, the construction of the huntap in the area has entered various stages of work, ranging from foundation construction, installation of brick walls, to installation of door frames.
In addition to the construction of huntap, the government is also continuing to prepare land to support the transition of residents from temporary housing to permanent housing.
In line with this, the development of huntara is still ongoing. In Sibalanga Village, Adian Koting District, North Tapanuli Regency, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) together with the North Tapanuli Regency Government is building 40 units of huntara in remote areas, with a travel time of about eight hours by land from Medan City.
The process of building the huntara and huntap involves cross-sectoral collaboration between ministries and agencies.
One of them was seen in West Sumatra (Sumbar), where the construction of the huntara in Kapalo Koto Village, Pauh District, Padang City, was carried out by personnel from the Sumbar Police Brimob Unit.
Currently, the construction of the huntara is entering the stage of installing walls, floors, building frames, and casting processes.
Through the provision of permanent housing, as well as ensuring the availability of temporary housing for affected communities, the government continues to encourage post-disaster recovery to run sustainably.
