BENGKULU - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Mukomuko Regency said the extension of the emergency transition phase to recovery after the flood disaster that hit the area was as needed. "Later, according to what kind of needs. If the need to submit further, the central funds may be extended for three months first," said Head of BPBD Mukomuko, Ramdani, in Mukomuko, Bengkulu Province, quoted from Antara, Thursday, September 15. He said that currently BPBD is still waiting for the signing of the regent's decree (SK) for the first phase of the emergency transition to the recovery of the flood natural disaster in Mukomuko. After that, he continued, the extension of the second phase of the emergency transition to recovery was in accordance with the needs of the post-flood Losses Team.

From the results of the calculation and data collection, it will be a district proposal to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB).
