Public Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Head Doni Monardo focused on the requirement for planting a huge number of tree seedlings across Indonesia’s seaside regions to moderate the effects of fiascos on vegetation. Today, 3,313 tree seedlings have been planted, and this figure is positively not adequate on the grounds that we actually need a large number of trees to be planted all through our seaside zones.

In view of this, Monardo offered this expression to correspondents in the wake of planting pule, palaka and butun tree seedlings with regards to the Disaster Participatory Vegetation Mitigation Movement-Vegetation Planting of Cemara Sewu Beach in Bunton Village, Adipala Sub-District of Cilacap.

The BNPB head clarified that Bunton was chosen as the area for planting tree seedlings since the town was hit by a tremor and torrent in 2006 beginning from the south of Pangandaran in West Java. Monardo noticed that few towns along the Cilacap coast were additionally influenced by the torrent in 2006, in which 165 individuals had lost their lives.

Incidentally, in 1921, a tremor and torrent had additionally hit the Cilacap territory. What’s the significance here? It implies that the quake and wave are repeating occasions. In a time of tens and maybe many years to come, these occasions are probably going to happen once more. Consequently, vegetation-based relief is one of BNPB’s endeavors to decrease the debacle hazard.
