Hi all, I have met with the Head of Data from National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) earlier this week and he really appreciate the mapping of Mt. Kelud that have been contributed by HOT communities. Today Mt. Kelud status is lowered into level 2 (level 1 means normal) and 3 Km of Kelud still considered as dangerous zone. Yet, as one of HOT team report, the map is still valuable input to identify critical points of volcanic mudflow, especially west of Mt. Kelud, where at least five rivers passing through settlements.
BNPB also looking forward to cooperate with HOT to map areas surrounding another volcanoes in Indonesia as part of disaster risk reduction strategy. Thanks all!
