Prabowo orders disaster mitigation masterplan as Indonesia grapples with multiple crises

Indonesia is facing multiple natural disasters, including a deadly earthquake, increased volcanic activity, and widespread forest fires. President Prabowo Subianto has ordered the creation of a comprehensive disaster mitigation masterplan to improve the country's preparedness and response capabilities. The government is currently managing recovery efforts on Flores Island after an earthquake that killed over 100 people, while volcanic activity at Mount Anak Krakatau has disrupted thousands of flights and affected hundreds of thousands of passengers. Forest fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra have caused severe air pollution, affecting neighboring countries like Malaysia and Brunei. Prabowo emphasized the need for proactive measures, including the use of aircraft for weather modification, heavy-lift drones for firefighting, and increased funding for disaster management. He also directed authorities to provide detailed progress reports on current disaster response efforts.
