JAKARTA: The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) says it is preparing for the worst if Mount Ijen in Bondowoso, East Java, erupts.
...
?We have to anticipate a possible eruption, although we don?t know whether it will erupt or not,? Sutopo added.
Three villages located near Mt. Ijen ? Kali Anyar, Kali Gedang and Sumberejo ? would be at the most serious risk if the volcano erupts, the BNPB said.
?Local residents are prohibited visiting locations within a radius of 1.5 kilometers from Ijen?s crater, which stores 30 million cubic meters of water with an acidity level far more dangerous than accu water.
...
The BNPB has readied Rp 466 million (US$51,260) of disaster-relief funds to cover the basic daily needs of evacuees for two weeks in the event of an evacuation.
