JAKARTA - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Purwakarta Regency, said that several villages in the two villages there did not deserve to be used as a place to live. The villages are prone to land shifts.
The head of the Purwakarta Regency BPBD, Yuddy Herdiana, said the two villages were not livable because they were in the middle of a meeting of two faults or faults that were prone to shifting land.
According to him, the results of the assessment of his staff showed that the most anticipated land shifts were in Cirangkong Village, Pasanggrahan Village, Tegalwaru District and in several villages in Panyindundangan Village, Sukatiani District.
In accordance with data from the Purwakarta Regency BPBD, the land shift disaster in the area occurs almost every year, namely in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
In fact, he said, in June this year there has been a movement of land in the area which resulted in the road being cut off.
"This area is a meeting of Lembang faults and Baribis faults that stretch to the Tangerang area. The results of our study with the Center for Volcanology on Geological Hazard Mitigation stated that the area is not suitable for occupancy because it is very vulnerable to movement," he said, Wednesday, October 5, quoted from Antara.
Yuddy said that currently the government is trying to relocate residents who live in the village to a safer place.
According to him, there is one area that has been chosen as the purpose of relocation, namely village neighbors who are still in the same village.
"The relocation is carried out in stages," he said.
