JAKARTA - The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has confirmed that it has set up evacuation tents in 12 sub-districts affected by the earthquake. Refugee tents are centered in each sub-district. "Of the 12 sub-districts that have established refugee camps, even the number will continue to grow. The evacuation sites are centralized from each sub-district," said Head of BNPB Suharyanto, quoted from BNPB Indonesia Youtube, Tuesday, November 22. He explained that his party had also seen the enthusiasm of the people who set up makeshift tents near their respective homes. "We BNPB, BPBD, TNI, Polri and others will continue to assist. We need refugees to enter centralized refugee camps so that their health is guaranteed," he said. Currently, he continued, the BNPB emergency handling command post is operational. "Now it is still a priority to evacuate victims. We make sure the emergency response will end when all victims have been identified and found," he said. BNPB will work optimally until the victim is found safe and dead. "We will try our best," he said.
