Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army (Wakasad) Lt. Gen. Agus Subiyanto opened up opportunities for the 2023 TNI Manunggal to build villages (TMMD) program to be directed to help repair infrastructure damaged by the Cianjur earthquake.
"It can, that's why in TMMD there are two targets. Physical and unphysical targets. What is unphysical is that we provide counseling to the public to be environmentally friendly," Agus said on the sidelines of the 115th TMMD Plenary Meeting for the 2022 fiscal year at the TNI AD Headquarters, Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Thursday 24 November.
The infrastructure improvement is in the form of repairing damaged roads, uninhabitable houses and others so that it can ease the burden on residents who are victims of the earthquake.
TMMD is a manifestation of the integrated and integrated operation of the TNI Service between sectors to increase the acceleration of development in rural areas, especially areas that are classified as lagging behind, isolated, bordering and urban slum areas as well as other areas affected by the disaster.
TMMD activities in essence are a tangible manifestation of the application of the culture of mutual cooperation with the spirit of togetherness, brotherhood, unity and integrity to unite and unite to develop the region.
To help evacuate earthquake victims with a magnitude of 5.6 in Cianjur, Agus said, the Indonesian Army has deployed 2,400 personnel.
"Today maybe we will add more so that it can be handled more quickly," said Wakasad.
The personnel deployed not only evacuated earthquake victims, but also helped victims who were injured by the earthquake.
"There are those who are in charge of searching, there are medical personnel, then field kitchens. We have prepared 10 field kitchens, evacuation tents, health tents," said the three-star general.
In fact, the Indonesian Army deployed sniffer dogs from the K-9 Kopassus to help search for earthquake victims who had not yet been found.
"We also sent a team of psychologists to help overcome people who were traumatized by the disaster," he said.
