"The Disaster Emergency Response Period in Medan City has been extended. We are looking at Medan City at this time, in the recovery process. So it is necessary to handle it more optimally during the extension of this Disaster Emergency Response period," said Rico Waas in Medan, Thursday, December 11, as reported by ANTARA.
