JAKARTA - A joint team from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Cilacap Regency with Bhabinkamtibmas, volunteers and the local community succeeded in evacuating a landslide survivor who suffered a stroke to the evacuation site at SD Negeri 04 Citulang, Kutabima Village, Cimanggu District, Cilacap Regency, Friday April 1st.

The evacuation effort was carried out using an emergency stretcher made of two pieces of sarong tied to a wooden stick, then carried by the team in turn through steep terrain in the form of a road covered with landslide material on foot.

The visual report in the form of video footage shows that the rescue action was carried out very carefully. This is because the route from the survivors' residence to the evacuation site is still wet and slippery, covered with mud mixed with water of varying thickness. Several times the joint team almost fell due to loss of balance, but this could be anticipated with the help of other personnel who rushed to help.

Based on a rapid assessment report from the field on Friday, April 1, at 22.30 WIB, the total number of refugees in SDN 04 Kutabima is 92 people. There are also some residents who choose to take refuge in the homes of neighbors and relatives.

In addition to the evacuation, the joint team has also set up a field kitchen in a resident's house which is right in front of the refugee location for SD Negeri 04 Citulang, to fulfill the food needs of the refugees. Other food logistics assistance in the form of rice, noodles, coffee, sugar, tea and so on have also been given to affected residents.

So far, as many as 71 houses inhabited by 213 people from 75 families were affected by the landslide that occurred after five hours of heavy rain on Thursday, March 31.

The Cilacap Regency BPBD together with other relevant agencies and volunteers continue to strive for the safety of residents as a top priority for the landslide disaster that occurred at 17 locations in Kutabima Village. In addition to rescuing residents, the team to accelerate the handling of landslides is also trying to clean up avalanche materials that block access routes between villages using makeshift equipment and heavy equipment such as excavators. The efforts to clean up the mud material will continue tomorrow.
