Material sediment from the eruption along a river channel tipped in G. Merapi are the greater. These deposits have the potential to be lava, in case of rain. Lava sedimentation form Boyong River has fullfilled BOD-III reservoir, Kemiri subvillage, 12 km from the peak of Merapi.

Due to the high volcanic activity G. Merapi and the status is still set at the level of caution, government is recommended as follows:

1.   It shall be conducted an investigation of volcanic ash that could potentially interfere with flight route to and from the Adisucipto. International Airport, Yogyakarta.

2.    Any activities in disaster prone areas III are not allowed, particularly for those who stay around the river (the threat of danger hot clouds and lava flood) that tipped in Merapi Southeast, South, Southwest, West and Northwest sectors ( Woro river, Gendol river, Kuning river, Boyong river, Bedog river, Krasak river, Bebeng river, Sat river, Lamat river, Senowo river, Trising river, and Apu river

3.      Immediately evacuate IDPs to safer places place outside a radius of 20 km from the peak of Merapi Volcano.

B. Coordination

KARINAKAS conducted assesment to the areas that was assisted before. Since the evacuation of IDPs was going on and IDPs are moving to other places, data will be improved due to vulcanic activity of Merapi.

Now, mapping IDPs is something challenging. Many IDPs stays in places that is not provided by the government. They will stay to any place that sufficient enough. Churches, mosques, village halls, schools, etc are used by IDPS. In some areas, IDPs stay also in civilian houses.

The number of IDPs in every post are fluctuative. They are always moving. Since Merapi Eruption can not be predicted, IDPs are still moving to safer places. Now, thousands of them have already reached Kulonprogo District (around 50 km from Merapi), Gunung Kidul District (around 60 km from Merapi), Magelang city (around 40 km from Merapi).

Due to the mobile IDPs in every area, KARINAKAS decided to intensively work with Parishes in which IDPs stay. There are 18 IDPs center in 6 parishes that will require KARINAKAS assistance. Those parishes that service around 6.300 IDPs, will be fully supported. We still assist IDPs that not in those 6 Parishes service area. In total, there are 22.682. It will be increasing due to other request from many posts that unidentified yet. Most of the IDPs are not Catholic. Even Parishes are our focal point, the assistance will be for every IDPs that needs help.

Ignatius Parish Magelang has declared to be the center of logistic for Magelang District.

Karitas Purwokerto and Karitas Surabaya is helping Kebonarum parish to conduct medical and psychosocial services. They will serve under KARINAKAS Emergency Response Management.

Proposal has submitted to Caritas Internationalis. Caritas Germany, Caritas Switzerland, Trocaire, and Caritas Australia has responded immediately and pledged fund to continue emergency response project. CAFOD has provided fund and already sent to KARINAKAS.

Tuesday, November 9th, a meeting of coordination will be held in Sanata Dharma University. Vicariat Episcopalis of Yogyakarta invites parishes priest that responsible on conducting IDPs centers in its area. This meeting will be attended by CIMOs also.
