MOUNT SINABUNGS ERUPTION

The Jakarta Post Sinabung not National Disaster, BNPB says The National Disaster
Mitigation Agency (BNPB) emphasized that the Mount Sinabungs eruption in North Sumatra was
a regional and national disaster.
BNPB chief spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said the Karo and North Sumatra regional
administrations were still running normally and nothing had paralyzed the regional administrations.
Despite almost 95 percent of the assistance being from the central government, this is not a national
disaster, he told Antara news agency.
Even in the post-disaster phase, the central government will still be involved in rehabilitation and
reconstruction.
Sutopo said the problem with the Mt. Sinabung eruption is the absence of a Regional Disaster
Mitigation Agency (BPBD) in Karo regency. Lava runs down Mount Sinabung following the June
2015 eruption.
