The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Kudus Regency, Central Java, has ensured that voting in areas prone to landslides has been anticipated by preparing alternative routes so that elections continue to run smoothly.

"One of the polling stations (TPS) in areas prone to landslides in Kudus, namely at TPS 15 Menawan Village, Gebog District, Kudus Regency," said Head of BPBD Kudus Mundir Regency in Kudus, Sunday, January 4.

To ensure the smooth implementation of the vote in the local village, Kudus Regent Muhamad Hasan Chabibie and his staff visited the location.

As a result, to anticipate landslides, an alternative road to polling stations that occupy SD 02 Menawan was prepared, because so far landslides often close the access road to the only road in the local village.

In addition, he added, volunteers in local villages also expressed their readiness to help when a landslide occurred. Because of his prediction at the time of voting on February 14, 2024 during the rainy season, so that the democratic party continues to run smoothly and safely.

Moreover, in Menawan Village, one of the disaster-resilient villages has formed a disaster risk reduction forum that involves many parties.

Acting Kudus Regent Muhamad Hasan Chabibie revealed that disaster prevention anticipation must be carried out as well as possible. One of them is to make efforts to carry out the election smoothly.

"An alternative scenario must be designed so that potential disasters can be minimized. Regarding access improvements, we coordinate with the PUPR Service," he said.
