Aceh's Acting Regional Secretary Leads Disaster Preparedness Roll Call, Gearing Up for Peak Rainy Season

Aceh's Acting Regional Secretary Leads Disaster Preparedness Roll Call, Gearing Up for Peak Rainy Season

Aceh's Acting Regional Secretary, Taufik, led a roll call for disaster risk reduction readiness and equipment display in Banda Aceh on Monday (10/26/2026). The event was attended by various agencies, including the National Search and Rescue Agency, Indonesian Red Cross, Tagana, Aceh Disaster Management Agency, and the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency. In his briefing, Taufik called for stepping up preparedness against potential hydrometeorological disasters ahead of the peak rainy season in November 2026. The weather agency forecasts increased rainfall in 62.5 percent of the ZOM areas in Aceh next month. Taufik stressed the importance of having personnel, equipment, and logistics ready, along with cross-sector coordination. He also asked for drainage clearing, weather monitoring, early warning dissemination, activation of command posts, and drafting contingency plans in every region. Given that post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction are still ongoing, Taufik requested regular evaluations and reporting to ensure public safety, especially for vulnerable groups. https://www.harianaceh.co.id/2026/10/26/pj-sekda-aceh-pimpin-apel-kesiapsiagaan-bencana-antisipasi-puncak-musim-hujan/

Wow, this is awesome, coordination like this is what we need. But don't just pull it together for the morning briefing, and then when a real incident happens everyone's running around like headless chickens. I'm all for it though, especially with drain cleaning-that's super important, something a lot of people tend to forget.

Honestly, BMKG and BPBA need to step up their game in giving early warnings to coastal communities, not just in the cities. Sometimes the info gets to the villages way too late. Hopefully this year they’ll be more prepared-let’s not have a repeat of last year’s bad flooding.

May Allah protect our brothers and sisters in Aceh.
