Now what has been built may be 80 percent of both infrastructure and people's homes," he said in the 2023 Disaster Kaleidoscope and 2024 Disaster Outlook' in Jakarta, Friday, January 12, confiscated by Antara.

The rehabilitation and reconstruction process itself went through four stages which included the 1st stage with funds of IDR 251.35 billion, the 2nd stage of IDR 436.14 billion, the 3rd stage of IDR 1.22 trillion, and the 4th stage which is currently running IDR 846.42 billion.
