The sound came from the radio, "post supporters III, Mount Anak Krakatau observation post, good morning," said the man on the other side. "Good morning back post 22. Supporting III report on the situation. Anak Krakatau Volcano activity is still like yesterday. Status is still idle. 22 Similarly, supporters of III on stand by, "replied the operator.
The conversation is then stopped, and will be repeated at a specified time. Routinely, a minimum of two times a day, the operator reported the current status of the mountain that lies in the Sunda Strait. The report was accepted directly into the Managing Disaster Management Unit (Satlak PB) The Government of South Lampung Regency. Camp 22 is the name Satlak PB.
Activity in the post looks like a regular supporter, when VIVAnews.com been some time ago. In fact, since September 19 last, Anak Krakatau volcanic activity began to increase. If it happens about 1,000 times before the quake, is now increased to 5000-6000 times the earthquake every day.
"Volcanic activity only, so it was considered normal, ordinary people around also, no one panicked," said Head GAK Observation Post, Andi Suardi to VIVAnews. The post is located in the village of Hargo Shower, District Rajabasa - 35 Kilometers, or an hour's drive from the motor Kalianda, the capital of South Lampung Regency.
That day, going 3-4 seismicity per minute. "The quake was very tight, so it can not be calculated, as well as tremors, if the eruption does not exist. Every day could be 5000-6000 times the earthquake," he said. Therefore, since 30 September at 24.00, the status of Anak Krakatau rose to standby.
Seismic activity that reaches thousands of times, according to Andi, because Anak Krakatoa is in building activity. He admits, this first time witnessed the anomaly Krakatoa: earthquakes up to a thousand times. "This event is the first place since I was here in 1995. To my knowledge this activity similar to Mount Kelud in East Java," he continued.
He explained, each volcano has different characters and see the level of earthquake. Although, the high intensity of earthquake similar to the Mount Anak Krakatau Kelud just before the big eruption. "In these circumstances, we are only calling for fishermen or tourists so as not to be at a radius of 2-3 kilometers from the mountain," imbaunya.
That day Andi eyes look red, because of lack of sleep. How not, every day for 24 hours he and two members - Eddie and Hamdani --- continue to monitor the development of the activity of Anak Krakatau.
In addition to recording, Andi and his men also have to provide reports on the activity of Anak Krakatau alternately to the Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) in Bandung.
They reported using SSB radio, radio communication distance that span the entire island in Indonesia. "But if the radio is disorder usually send a report with a short message (SMS) alone," said Andi.
"We are only in charge of monitoring, recording, and reporting volcanic activity in the visual and instrumental. Centre determines their status. Center who then notify the governor, regent, until the related offices," he said.
A lot of joys and sorrows experienced over the mountain to monitor the 'mother' had erupted in 1883 was devastating. "The trouble if power fails, of course, will affect the working seismograph. So now seismographs are already using solar power to anticipate," said Andi.
Heading monitors do not have a standard picket schedule. Anyone there can send the report. "If a normal active volcano, working with regular office hours, go home early afternoon. But if the status of activities like this, all officers stand by," he said.
Especially when the activity increased sharply as now, Andi and his men must be willing to stay in post for several days. Leaving their wives children who on average live in Kalianda. Report: Andry Kurniawan | Lampung
