LEBAK - The combined SAR team is again searching for a teenager named M Ramdani (23), a resident of Ciherang Village, Panggarangan, Lebak Banten, who went missing while fishing in Muara Cisiih.

The SAR team encountered strong winds from the west and waves on the south coast of Banten as high as 6 meters on the second day of the search.

Even so, the joint SAR Team continued to search by boat along the waters around the crime scene with a radius of 4.37 kilometers.

Furthermore, the search was also carried out by land search from the vanishing point beach to the south for 5 kilometers.

The combined SAR team conducting the search consisted of Banten Basarnas, Banten Police, Polsek, Danramil, Balawista, PMI, BMKG, Tagana Volunteers, BPBD Lebak, fishermen, and the community.

They will coordinate with Panggarangan HNSI in search areas, related to operations. If there are signs of casualties, the joint SAR team immediately evacuates.

"With this pattern, it is quite effective, because the sea accident that occurred in Lebak recently can be found," said joint SAR team coordinator Heru, Wednesday 15 February.

According to him, the search for victims who had a sea accident on Panggarangan Beach used rescue cars, water palsars, rubber boats, communication palsars, medical palsars, hazmat PPE and fishing boats.

The search for victims will be carried out for the next week according to standard operating procedures (SOP) starting from the sea accident.

However, if no victims of the sea accident are found, the humanitarian operation will be stopped.

"We, along with other combined SAR teams, have mobilized forces to find the victims of the sea accident so they can be found," said Heru.
