“Even though they are in refugee camps, they are still active, such as cleaning their houses affected by volcanic ash or continuing to work,” he said.
BNPB confirmed that a number of logistical assistance and group needs had been distributed to ease the burden on refugees affected by the eruption of Mount Semeru.
This assistance includes 300 mattresses, 300 tarpaulins, 300 blankets, 200 boxes of medical masks, 200 plastic waste packages and 150 packages of cleaning tools.Meanwhile, food assistance consists of 1,000 ready-to-eat meals and 200 basic food packages.
“The delivery of aid was carried out jointly between BNPB and representatives of Commission VIII DPR RI. The aid was used by those whose homes were affected and the surrounding community who were also exposed to volcanic ash,” said Abdul.
The Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) previously reported that Mount Semeru erupted on Wednesday (19/11) at 16.00 WIB with the height of the eruption column observed to be around 2,000 meters above the peak.
During the eruption, Mount Semeru exhaled hot clouds that had a sliding distance of up to seven kilometers from the peak with columns of gray ash observed with thick intensity towards the north and northwest.
The eruption recorded on the seismogram of the volcano monitoring post in Lumajang had a maximum amplitude of 40 mm and a duration of around 16 minutes 40 seconds.
The eruption activity of Mount Semeru is confirmed to have ended at 18.11 WIB, however the regional government and the Geological Agency are still determining Level IV or Alert status to anticipate potential further activity that may occur.
This is also the basis for the establishment of the Natural Disaster Emergency Response Status which will be active until November 26 by the Lumajang Regency Government (Pemkab).
