JAKARTA - Refugees of Mount Semeru Refugee Command Post in Penanggal Village, Lumajang need blankets and mats for sleep.

Monitoring at the evacuation posts, the assistance received by the refugees was mostly baby food and diapers.

"We currently need blankets and mats to sleep. If the food seems sufficient," said the refugee from Kajar Kuning Hamlet, Sumberwuluh Village, Mahcepat, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, December 6.

For other needs, such as clothes, he said, it could still be taken from home because the house was not hit by hot clouds of avalanches (APG).

"Our house, Alhamdulillah, is okay. But it is a red zone," he said.

He also hopes that all relevant parties will provide assistance that is more needed by the refugees.

Mount Semeru emitted hot clouds of avalanches with a range of seven kilometers on Sunday (4/12), at 02.46 WIB. At 12.00 WIB, PVMBG took mitigation steps by increasing the status of Mount Semeru from Level III or Alert to Level II or Alert.

The decision was taken so that residents living in disaster-prone areas of Mount Semeru vacate their areas and evacuate themselves to evacuations that have been provided in areas that are safe from the reach of the eruption. Thus, it does not cause casualties if at any time the volcano erupts.
