Strengthened Collaboration Among the Ministry of Home Affairs, Bappenas, and BNPB to Enhance Disaster Mitigation Efforts in Eastern Indonesia
Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is highly vulnerable to a range of natural disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and forest fires. According to the World Risk Index (WRI) 2024, Indonesia ranks as the second-highest country in the world at risk of natural disasters, following the Philippines. This reality underscores the urgent need for integrated, professional, and inclusive disaster management strategies to safeguard communities while supporting the country’s sustainable development goals.
