Officers prepare aid to be distributed to disaster victims at the Bengkulu Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in Bengkulu on April 29. Three days after floods hit Bengkulu city on April 29, the number of evacuees had fallen by almost half from 12,000 people. The evacuees are still waiting for assistance, especially clean water, medicine and clothing because many of their belongings were damaged during the disaster.

In addition to lives lost, post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction are large costs. In the regions, poor disaster mitigation increases the risk of fatalities.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The intensity and destructiveness of floods and landslides are increasing in several regions. Aside from the number of lives lost, these disasters cost the government trillions of rupiah every year.
