PMI builds short-term shelters for Cianjur quake victims

Cianjur, West Java – The Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) has actually constructed emergency situation shelters for the victims of the Cianjur earthquake who have started returning to their homes 20 days after the catastrophe.

The shelters have actually been developed near or in the citizens’ backyards.

The deputy head of PMI Cianjur, Dr. Frida Laila Yahya, stated that the building and construction of short-lived shelters belongs to PMI’s efforts to decrease the variety of citizens living in evacuation posts. PMI is hoping that they can return to their usual activities while waiting for their homes to be reconstructed.

” We have actually constructed 14 emergency shelters spread out throughout Ciherang town, Pacet sub-district; Cijedil village, Cugenang sub-district; and Sukawangi town, Warungkondang sub-district. Ciherang village had the most emergency shelters with 10 systems,” Yahya informed in Cianjur on Saturday.

PMI is targeting to construct 150 short-lived real estate units in seriously impacted towns that have been omitted from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Company (BMKG) or the Cianjur federal government moving plans. Residents who want to construct momentary shelters can get in touch with volunteers, the Cianjur PMI headquarters, or the PMI hotline center.

Yahya stated she anticipates the target of building 150 short-lived real estate systems in a number of affected villages to be achieved by the end of the year so that more units can be built next year to reach the total target of 300 systems.

” We continue to supply services to earthquake victims who need temporary housing near their initial house, which will be developed soon after receiving support from the federal government,” she added.

PMI’s short-lived shelter building organizer, Ujang Cipta, said that a person temporary real estate system takes one day to complete with the aid of 8 volunteers helped by property owners and regional homeowners.

” We are targeting that in the last 3 weeks we will have the ability to finish the target of 150 units in nine towns in 3 sub-districts, which are primarily requests from homeowners. For the building and construction, we are involving local citizens apart from house owners and their households to finish quickly,” he added.
