Overview

 

A powerful earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale struck IndonesiaÕs Yogyakarta and Central Java provinces on the island of Java on May 27 at 5:53 AM local time (Friday, May 26 at 22:53 UTC), killing thousands of people and causing widespread loss to infrastructure and property.  According to the USGS (US Geological Survey), the quakeÕs epicenter was 10 miles (15 kilometers) south of Yogyakarta at a depth of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers).  The districts of Bantul, Klaten, Sleman and the city of Yogyakarta are among the worst affected in terms of loss of life.  The official death toll reportedly provided by SATKORLAK on June 7 stood at 5,865, and the number of injured at 37,921.  According to SATKORLAK, 398,548 homes have been either damaged or destroyed.  Per OCHA, GOI has issued a deadline for its staff to reconcile and finalize its figures for dead, injured, hospitalized, displaced, as well as figures on damage to housing and infrastructure by June 14.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), which is supporting IndonesiaÕs Ministry of Health (MoH), patients are being treated in 48 hospitals, plus field hospitals, health centers, and mobile clinics.  The World Health Organization (WHO) says infectious disease remains a risk because of the crowded nature of the affected area, but the UN agency was not expecting an epidemic.  The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has setup an active case surveillance team station in all affected hospitals and strategic sites linking with the mobile and International organizational teams.  WHO says as many as 32,000 emergency toilets are needed in Yogyakarta, and there were plans to provide 20,000 units leaving a gap of 12,000 units that remains to be filled urgently.  According to media reports, GOI has revised upward its number of homeless to more than 343,000.  However, the estimates for displaced people are still being assessed.  Family tents are needed to accommodate the homeless.  Most of the displaced are reported to be living in makeshift shelters.  The need for IDP site management at informal camps in Klaten and Sleman is becoming critical as these are already packed, and additional Merapi evacuees continue to arrive each day.  GOI officials say some 200,000 tents were needed for temporary shelter. 

 

According to WFP overall logistics infrastructure is sound.  Both Solo and Yogyakarta airports are open.  Yogyakarta airport remains close at night for some repair work on the main runway. All main supply routes are passable.  However, heavy vehicular traffic on the roads is causing some delays. Trucking and warehousing continue to be the main logistics concern.  Close cooperation between WFP, IOM, Atlas Logistique and IFRC continues to generally meet these challenges.

 

The Indonesian government has declared a state of emergency and has allocated US$115 million for relief efforts.  US$10 million will be used for emergency response, while the other US$105 million will be used for rehabilitation and reconstruction.  The National Development Planning Agency Republic of Indonesia (BAPPENAS), in conjunction with the World Bank is conducting damage and loss assessment to be presented to the Consultative Group on Indonesia due to meet on June 14 in Jakarta.  According to BAPPENAS, preliminary assessment indicates nearly 880,000 poor people live in the affected region. An additional 66,000 might fall into poverty and some 160,000 might lose their jobs in the aftermath of the quake.  An estimated 30,000 small-scale industries and businesses in the area have also been directly affected by the quake.  Preliminary assessment concludes that regionÕs gross domestic product might fall by as much as five percent, with an economic contraction of up to 18 percent in the worst hit districts.  (AFP, June 14).  National Planning Minister Paskah Suzetta said the GOI is estimating the earthquake damage to be around US$3.1 billion (IDR 29.2 trillion).  (JP, June 13).  Yesterday (Wednesday, June 14), IndonesiaÕs largest group of donors--the Consultative Group of Indonesia (CGI), led by the World Bank-announced a US$5.4 billion aid package comprising loans and grants to support the governmentÕs medium-term development and reconstruction of disaster stricken areas.  Some US$1.5 billion in grants to be disbursed directly to the public, outside of the countryÕs fiscal budget, will be for rehabilitation and reconstruction of quake-affected Yogyakarta and Central Java.  (JP, June 15)

 

BAKORNAS is coordinating international relief assistance at the country level, while the provincial-level Disaster Management Board (SATKORLAK) is working at the provincial level.  A 7-member United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team is divided into 3 sub-teams under the leadership of Rajan Gengaje.  The United Nations on Friday, (June 2) launched a US$103 million Emergency Response Action Plan for the earthquake-affected areas to cover the immediate needs for the next six months.  According to the UNÕs Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), half of the funds should go toward emergency shelter.  More than 50 international and indigenous relief NGOs are on the ground.  At least 22 governments have responded with financial assistance, in-kind material assistance and relief personnel. 

 

Aid workers say a major eruption of Mount Merapi as result of recent activity could possibly displace one million people.  Merapi has shown increased activity since the quake.  Dome of volcano has now swelled to 330 feet (100m), raising fears that it might collapse and could send searing-hot clouds of gas and debris pouring down the slopes into inhabited areas.  The lava dome, which currently stands at about 3 million cubic meters (3.92 million cubic yards), is growing more than 100,000 cubic meters (130,000 cubic yards) a day.  Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard has raised the alert level for Merapi to the highest level a day after lowering it to the second highest level, due to an increase in volcanic activity.  (CNN, JP, AFP, Reuters, June 14)

 

Indonesian government to start reconstruction of over 570,000 damaged or destroyed homes next month (July, 2006).  Central government to coordinate reconstruction of homes through the local government in affected region.  (Xinhua, June 19)

 

Overall relief operations continue in full swing in all areas—food, shelter, sanitation, water etc.  Developments on Mount Merapi were being considered as part of the overall emergency response plan in the quake-affected region by UN agencies and other humanitarian actors.
