CIANJUR - The Cianjur Regency Government, West Java, has re-verified the data on houses that will be relocated as many as 293 houses in four sub-districts affected by the earthquake based on data collection from the Ministry of PUPR which is located in the red zone and prone to landslides. Spokesperson for the Cianjur Earthquake Management, Budhi Rahayu Toyib, said, based on the results of a central government survey, the criteria for the house to be relocated are located in the red or banned zone, not standing buildings on it and villages prone to landslides when aftershocks occur. "The criteria include houses located in landslide-prone locations and fault centers, so that they are included in the relocation, based on the results of meetings with related agencies at the center, BNPB, BMKG and agencies in the Cianjur Regency Government and Forkopimda," he said in Cianjur, Antara, Wednesday, January 18th. Budhi said the results of the meeting stated that 293 houses plus six public facilities had to be relocated in four sub-districts such as Pacet, Cugenang, Cianjur and Warungkondang, so that the local government together with Forkopimda and Forkopimcam returned to verify the data received from the Ministry of PUPR on the recommendations of BNPB and BMKG, before determining. The reason, he said, is that this number can be reduced or increased after being surveyed again with the team, so that the verification process will be carried out for the next three days starting Thursday (19/1/2023) in four sub-districts that are included in the relocation list. "Tomorrow, the re-survey of data issued by the Ministry of PUPR has not yet determined the house to be relocated, but what is clear is that a block or village will be relocated, such as Cugenang Village, Cijedil Village and Sarampad Village, Cugenang District. Rawacina Village in Nagrak Village, Cianjur District," he said. He explained that when a verified house is not in the red or yellow zone, it can still be rebuilt with earthquake-resistant construction, it will not be relocated or vice versa after re-verification of its location into the prohibited zone so it must be relocated. "It has not been determined but first verification is carried out, after which it is determined what the exact number of houses will be relocated. For relocation houses provided at two relocation points, around 350 houses have been built and 80 percent are ready to be occupied," he said.
