Puan also reminded the public to always be vigilant and must be able to ensure the safety of themselves and their families.
"People's safety must be a priority. Do not let there be a gap in the worst possibility," said Puan.
On the other hand, the chairman of the PDIP DPP emphasized the importance of mitigation to reduce disaster risk. Both physically infrastructure and human resources. Disaster mitigation socialization, said Puan, also needs to be massive.
"All parties must work together to overcome natural disasters so that the safety of the people can be guaranteed," he concluded.
