ACEH - The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) reported that community economic activities in a number of Aceh areas affected by floods and landslides have begun to grow again. This is in line with the ongoing infrastructure recovery process carried out by the government.
Head of the BNPB Data and Information Center, Abdul Muhari, said that economic activity was beginning to be seen again, especially in the Aceh Tamiang area. Although the post-disaster cleaning process is still ongoing, buying and selling activities in the market have begun to run.
"The recovery of people's economic activities is continuing. This morning, we got a visual from the market in Aceh Tamiang, although the cleaning process is still ongoing, but at the same time, on some sides that are clean, as we see, economic products have started to turn, people have done buying and selling activities," said Abdul Muhari in a press conference in Jakarta, Friday.
He added that improvements in economic conditions did not only occur in Aceh Tamiang. A number of other areas that were previously affected were quite extensive, such as Pidie Jaya and Meureudu, also showed a positive recovery trend.
"This can encourage the economic sector to start turning around, so that the supply chain components of goods sold in traditional markets have also started to enter and be purchased. We hope that this can also become an accelerator and catalyst for the faster overall recovery process," he said.
In addition to economic recovery, BNPB together with the government also continues to intensify the distribution of logistical assistance to support the needs of affected communities in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra so that people's activities can return to normal.
"Today in Aceh, a total of 19.6 tons, North Sumatra 30.2 tons, and West Sumatra today we are still gathering because it runs with the time of distribution of logistics that we have distributed, including our buffer stock has also been distributed, now we are again gathering the support of the community and the government so that their needs can continue to be fulfilled," he said.
