DENPASAR – Disaster risks such as floods, landslides during the rainy season, until the event of fallen trees, and missing persons are very high in the province of Bali.

The Head of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Bali Province, Made Rentin, appealed that tourism actors also care about the potential for disasters that will arise. Especially for the location that is visited by many tourists. The following explanation :

1. A total of 435 emergency events (ESR / Emergency Service Response) handled by the Regional Disaster Management Agency for a year

The Provincial Disaster Management Agency of Bali has handled 435 emergency events, 16 of which involved foreign nationals. Most of the incidents involving foreigners were caused by daily traffic accidents and emergency services.

Recorded, the handling of incidents in the area of Denpasar totaling 234 traffic accidents, 176 evacuation activities, 16 examination of sick clients, three incidents of residents falling at home, four incidents of falling trees, and two incidents of fire.

Meanwhile reported from all districts in Bali, the incidence of fallen trees dominated up to 620 events, followed by 264 fires and 75 landslides.

“More foreign victims are not natural disasters. For example like people lost in the waves, falling from ships. There are several events like that”, he explained.

2. The need for signs at tourist sites and maximize education to the community

Rentin revealed the need to install signs so that tourists do not cross the specified limits, in order to maintain safety. Like travel in Nusa Penida, which is often reported by people falling and missing.

“There are a lot of events. Signs should have been installed. Lots of people go there. It means that if we talk about profit, the security side must be prioritized”, he stressed.

In addition, education to the public regarding disasters must also be maximized in order to recognize each type of disaster. And more importantly, accurate information from BMKG (Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency). Likewise, certification of disaster in places where tourists stay.

3. The Bali Provincial Disaster Management Agency wants a disaster application that alerts people to mobile phones

The Regional Disaster Management Agency actually wants to create a disaster app that alerts directly on people’s mobile phones, and can be accessed more easily.

Given the disaster in Bali has the potential for earthquakes and tsunamis, because it covers an area with many beaches. While in the hills potentially landslides.

“For example what kind of area is this potential disaster, so there is a warning system. When there is an earthquake, for example, there is a warning that the system has the potential to tsunami or not, to vibrate, for example. In the future, most will use cellphones”, he explained.

Until now the Bali Provincial Disaster Management Agency has installed nine tsunami sirens, six volcano sirens, four ambulances, two water tankers, and one unit of a public kitchen car.
