JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) Jusuf Kalla gave instructions to PMI volunteers on duty at the center and Sukabumi Regency, West Java to accelerate the distribution of aid for disaster survivors in Sukabumi Regency.
"For aid logistics in the PMI logistics warehouse, it has been prepared, therefore I ask that it be immediately distributed to disaster locations in Sukabumi Regency," he said as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, December 7, 2024.
According to the man who is familiarly called JK, the aid logistics provided by PMI are in the form of health packages, household needs, tarpaulins, tents, baby and toddler supplies and medicines.
In order for the distribution of aid to be right on target and in accordance with the needs of survivors, he appealed to volunteers who conducted the assessment to be careful and ensure what their needs were.
This aid must reach the location immediately, because the condition of disaster survivors is very concerning, such as being susceptible to disease plus the increasingly thin food supply due to the cut off road access.
Therefore, in distributing aid, priority scales must be prioritized, such as survivors in isolated locations or those who still lack assistance.
Then, the volunteers who are deployed must also be spread to various locations affected by the disaster. Then, his party will also mobilize a number of PMI health workers to check the health conditions of residents and set up health posts around the disaster location.
On the other hand, in addition to deploying ambulances, evacuation vehicles and equipment, his party has also prepared special vehicles such as the Hagglund amphibians to penetrate isolated locations to help joint officers enter locations that are currently still isolated.
