Responding to the series of eruptions at Mount Anak Krakatau, Dr. Daryono, an expert from the Indonesian Disaster Experts Association (IABI), urged the government to immediately tighten practical mitigation measures. This step is considered crucial to minimize the risk of unpredictable volcanic activity impacts on surrounding coastal areas.
Dr. Daryono emphasized that disaster management must not only be reactive but must be based on standard operating procedures applicable in the field. He urged relevant authorities to ensure that early warning systems function optimally and reach all levels of society in high-risk zones.
Additionally, strengthening disaster literacy for local residents is a crucial point in this mitigation effort. With a good understanding of Mount Anak Krakatau's characteristics, it is hoped that the community can take appropriate independent actions during an escalation of volcanic activity, thereby minimizing potential loss of life and property.
