JAKARTA - BMKG gave an early warning to the people of NTT to increase awareness of extreme weather potential until March 14. Deputy Regent (Wabup) of West Manggarai, Province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Yulianus Weng appealed to fishermen in the area who wanted to go to sea to be aware of high waves. "We suggest not to go to sea first, obey the appeal submitted by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG)," he said in Labuan Bajo, quoted from ANTARA, Sunday, March 11. Yulianus said strong winds caused damage to a school building unit in the archipelago, namely Pontianak Village, Boleng District. West Manggarai Regency Government has received reports of the incident, but has not been able to carry out disaster management due to high wave constraints. "I have conveyed it to the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) for immediate follow-up but they cannot go down due to high waves," he said. He has asked BPBD to anticipate the impact of heavy rain and strong winds in all areas in West Manggarai Regency. "If there is a disaster to be handled immediately," he said.

Ia juga mengatakan posko bencana akan dibangun pemerintah daerah jika kejadian bencana alam di daerah itu semakin meningkat."Surat penegasan akan terjadi bencana sudah diumumkan BPBD kepada Organisasi Perangkat Daerah dan camat agar hati-hati dan siap menangani bencana," katanya.
