A.  General

Prambanan temple, Hindhu’s temple and a world heritage, is endangered due to the cold lava flood along Opak River near the compound of the temple. Volcanic material is located in 6 km from the temple. If high intensity rain comes, the flood will come and potentially damage the temple.

Volcanic Technology Development and Research Center (BPPTK) Yogyakarta said that most of the Merapi Volcano monitoring instruments was destroyed by the latest eruption. It would take more than a year to reconstruct all of the monitoring instrument system. Now, BPPTK is installing early warning system instrument and mapping the cold lava flood threat.

Villagers of Balerante village, Kemalang, Klaten District have already stayed in temporary shelters. Government of Central Java Province has finished those shelters on the first week of February 2011. Meanwhile, Residents Baselan Village, Village Glagaharjo, Cangkringan, Sleman District, Yogyakarta Province urged the shelter or temporary occupancy (huntara) be resolved. The construction of temporary shelter is delayed due to the legalization of land ownership.
