EMERGENCY RESPONSE OF MERAPI ERUPTION

A. General

If you want to clearly understand of the places mentioned below, please download the picture of safe zone of Merapi Eruption from this link http://www.4shared.com/file/KQiVsEAE/Archive.html

Merapi Eruption had killed 259 people as of Monday’s count. The toll rose as teams reached deeper into the danger zone and found the dead strewn in the grey ash where they had been caught in blistering jets of gas and rock known as pyroclastic flows.

Volcanic activities of Merapi are still on going, but the intensity has reduced significantly. Government through official Geology Body reported that Merapi Volcano is still on ALERT status. From the latest observation, the safe zone of Merapi was different in every district.

Note: The safe zone of area that located in radius 300 m from Krasak River, Magelang District and Woro River, Klaten District is 20 km from the peak.

Meanwhile, the distance of pyroclastic flows from the peak to the river below has reached 14 km in Gendol River, 11,5 km in Bebeng River, 4 km in Apu River, and 7 km in Woro River. Lava flood and pyroclastic flows are the secondary hazard that must be alerted. Lava will flow to the further areas if there was high – intensity of rain. The Government recommends that people must not do any activities surrounding rivers mentioned above.

Due to the change of safe zone area, some IDPs now has back to their home, especially those who came from safer areas. The number of IDPs in Klaten,Boyolali, and Magelang District are now decreasing. Economic activities seem to be awakened. Some traditional markets have already been active. Malioboro as a center of Yogyakarta tourism start to be crowded. Unfortunately, Yogyakarta Airport is closed still. Due to the ash fall that temporary come to some areas, the government office state that the airport closing down is extended until November 20^th, 2010.

B.Coordination

• Christianization issue is also influence further area. It emerges at Ganjuran, Bantul District at first. Parish of Bandung, Gunungkidul (more than 60 km from the peak) is also influenced by that issue. To avoid the further risks, IDPs now stay in the civilian house. The parish services thousands IDPs spread in parish service area.
• Since the safe zone has change in three districts, some parish has anticipated the moving IDPs. For instance, Medari Parish made family package for those who are coming back to their village. Other parishes are preparing for that also.
• KARINAKAS now also supports some soup kitchen managed by some institution including parishes.
