Mount Agung as seen from Amed village in Abang district, Karangasem regency, Bali, on Monday (9/10). As of this moment, tremors at Mount Agung, whose alert status has been raised to the highest level, remain high and residents are required to stay outside a 12-kilometer radius from the volcano.

The increasing volcanic activity of Mount Agung offers lessons on the importance of managing natural disasters in dealing with socioeconomic life.

Mt Agung in Bali has been at the highest alert level of Awas (Warning), but when it might erupt cannot be predicted. Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate, most of whom were unprepared and left in a rush, leaving behind their homes, farms, and especially their cattle.
