Prabowo Highlights the Needs of the Minister of Disaster, Imitation of Russia
LensaAktual. Candidates for President Prabowo Subianto said there was a need for a special minister to handle disasters. This is not separated from Indonesia's position in the ring of fire which is prone to natural disasters.
"We already know that our country is in a region full of natural disasters; earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions. That is the risk of an archipelagic country in the ring of fire, in the southern Pacific," Prabowo said in Prabowo Subianto's National Year Lecture, in Hambalang , Bogor, which was uploaded on his Facebook page on Sunday.
"In many countries, the minister who deals with natural disasters is one of the most important ministers. Russia, the minister is a four-star general," he continued.
According to Prabowo, the risk of major natural disasters in Indonesia must be addressed with complete preparation in terms of technology and disaster logistics. For example, food reserves, clothing, medicines, and also rapid reaction teams.
"We have to be prepared. How are we ready for technology, reserves, economic power, food warehouses, warehouse warehouses, clothing, medicines, teams that can react immediately, must be prepared under the control of an organization," he said.
He said this was related to the condition of a just and prosperous state. That, there must be guarantees from the state about security, food, energy and water.
It is known, disaster management in Indonesia is spread in a number of ministries / institutions. For example, the Minister of Social Affairs handles the distribution of rice reserves during the disaster response period, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has the duty to deliver disaster management information and account for international assistance in disasters.
Meanwhile, the National SAR Agency (Basarnas) coordinates the rescue and search or rescue operations of disaster victims. While the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) and the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation (PVMBG) are responsible for supplying information regarding potential disasters.
In the BPNB's records throughout 2018 there were thousands of disasters that hit Indonesia, thousands of people were killed, thousands of families lost their homes and millions became refugees.
BNPB data shows that the most frequent disaster in Indonesia during 2018 was a tornado that reached 750. Followed by Floods 627 incidents, 440 landslides, earthquakes 20 events, tsunamis one incident. This does not include the tsunami that hit Banten and Lampung last Saturday.
Besides forest and land fires 370 events, drought 129 events, 55 volcanic eruptions, and tidal waves 34 events.
The impact of the disaster was enormous. Natural disasters up to December 14, 2018 have caused 4,231 people to die and disappear; 6,948 people were injured; 9.9 million people were displaced and affected by the disaster. Natural disasters also caused 374,023 houses to be damaged. While for the tsunami in the Sunda Strait more than 400 people died.
Meanwhile about the special disaster minister in Russia, quoted from the official website of the Russian government, coordination of disaster matters was handled by the Ministry of Civil Defense, Emergency and Disaster Relief. The ministry was once headed by a general who later became Minister of Defense, Sergei Shoigu.
