BMKG Urges Residents to Avoid the Radius Coastal Zone 1 Km in the Sunda Strait
Berita gram. Jakarta - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) appealed to the public to avoid coastal or coastal locations within a radius of 500 meters to 1 kilometer. This is because the activity of Mount Anak Krakatau which is monitored is still erupting.
Head of BMKG Dwikorita Karnawati said the BMKG together with the Geological Agency and the Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs continued to monitor the conditions of the tremor activity of Gunung Anak Krakatau as well as extreme weather conditions and high waves. He said, all these conditions could at any time lead to landslides of the crater cliffs of Mount Anak Krakatau to the sea.
"And it is feared that it could potentially trigger a tsunami like the hypothesis we delivered on December 22, 2018," Dwikorita said at a press conference at the BMKG office, Jl Angkasa, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday (12/25/2018) night.
Dwikorita also said, eruption and tremor conditions and the potential for extreme weather to high waves still continue. "We hereby request that the citizens remain vigilant and avoid coastal or coastal locations within a radius of 500 meters to 1 kilometer," he said.
Dwikorita added, BMKG had developed a monitoring system application that focused on the volcanic seismic activity of Mount Anak Gunung Krakatau. The latest and accurate information can be monitored by the community through the 'infoBMKG' and 'MAGMA Indonesia' mobile applications.
In addition, BMKG and the Geological Agency will also continue to update information through their respective social media accounts.
"Therefore we ask the community to continue to monitor the development of information. So we will continue to update information through social media sites or BMKG mobile info applications and MAGMA Indonesia mobile applications and geological bodies. Because the MAGMA Indonesia application will provide an early level of activity for Gunung Anak Krakatau is not easily provoked by a misleading issue, "he said.
Dwikorita also said, the affirmation of this information is to avoid the circulation of incorrect information or hoaxes in the community.
"So we realize that in a situation like this there is always a misleading issue. So as not to be easily confused and swayed with the issue, please immediately check both the BMKG website and social media or the InfoBMKG mobile application and also monitor the MAGMA Indonesia application from the Geological Agency , "he said.
But the Dwikoritas affirmed, the appeal to stay away from the coastal or coastal location was specifically for the Sunda Strait region, which was related to the activity of Gunung Anak Krakatau.
"So this is specifically in the Sunda Strait, not in all of Indonesia. For all of Indonesia we have routine early warnings in the application. But that has nothing to do with Mount Anak Krakatau," he said.
"That what we are reading right now is specifically in the condition of the Sunda Strait that is related to Mount Anak Krakatau," he added.
