Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto immediately ordered BNPB to go to the location to immediately handle the earthquake that potentially caused a tsunami that occurred in the waters of Bitung, North Sulawesi and North Maluku on Thursday, April 2.
BNPB Head Suharyanto said Prabowo had received reports of the earthquake that had occurred and immediately gave directions so that emergency handling could be carried out as quickly as possible. This was conveyed by Suharyanto at a press conference held on Thursday, April 2.
He emphasized that this quick step was proof of the government's seriousness in placing public safety as the main priority, especially for disaster victims. BNPB asked all elements in the region, ranging from BPBD, TNI, Polri, to ministries and agencies to collaborate to activate emergency response posts in each district/city.
The post is expected to be able to ensure that people's basic needs can be met. BNPB also asked the local government to immediately list and verify the damage caused by this disaster, including residents' houses, hospitals, and other public facilities.
Then, BNPB asked Basarnas to immediately form a special team that would go directly to the field. The goal is to ensure that the number of survivors and souls is accurately recorded.
Suharyanto ensured that a joint team from the central government under the coordination of BNPB would be immediately dispatched to the affected areas in North Maluku and North Sulawesi to strengthen field handling.
