Wednesday, 01 September 2010 09:31
Based on assessment activity on 30 August 2010, the team found that role of district government, in handling the affected people are quite satisfactory although there are areas that need improvement. It can be seemed from establishment of distribution aid posts, latest update provision, up to IDPs needs fulfillment. Besides, other national and local stakeholders also contributing to this emergency situation such as National Disaster Management Body, National Search and Rescue Body, disaster preparedness volunteer (Tagana), Indonesia Red Cross, National army and police.The team assessed 6 locations in two sub districts; Kabanjahe (Jambur Lige, Jambur Adil Makmur, Jambur Dalihan Natolu, Jambur Tuah Lopati) and Berastagi (Jambur Taras and Jambur Semapakata) where temporary shelter is established. In general, the condition is described into 4 basic needs:
- Water, sanitation and hygiene. IDPs at all location had access to clean-drinking water, and but not all location have adequate water supply. Thus, they must utilize poor quality of water for sanitation needs. IDPs also face lack of latrine situation; poor quality and less number of latrines.
- Food. Almost all location had access to food supply (at least for 15 days ahead –local government commitment)
- Shelter. Almost all shelter is in poor condition, too crowded and no arrangement in placement by village –every shelter is occupied by more than one village.
- Health service. In this matter, support from local government is quite good; health post is already established in every location equipped by adequate medicine and medical staff.
