Meanwhile, the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Lt. Gen. Suharyanto said the Cianjur Regent would take full control of the implementation of tasks in the field for handling earthquakes in Cianjur Regency, West Java, including searching and helping victims and handling refugees.
"The Regent will have full control regarding the implementation of tasks in the field, both related to search and rescue related to the handling of refugees, evacuation, including the construction of damaged houses", said Head of BNPB Lt. Gen. Suharyanto in a virtual press conference on Sunday, November 27.
That's because the earthquake in Cianjur Regency is a regional disaster, not a national disaster so all the handling of commands in the field and the implementation of daily activities will return to accordance with the provisions, namely the Regent becomes the commander of the task force.
However, Suharyanto said the central government would still assist and provide optimal assistance.
