Monday (3/12), the 60 students of the Geology and Geophysics Study Program FMIPA UI visited the office of the National Disaster Management Agency on Jl. Scouting, East Jakarta.
The arrival of the group, accompanied by Muhammad Rizqy Septyandy, the teaching staff of the geology study program, was warmly welcomed by Mohamad Robi Amri as Head of the Mitigation Sub-Directorate.
Andy explained that the visit of his students was aimed at sharing knowledge to broaden students’ insights on disaster management in the world of work related to geology and geophysics.
Also, Andy said this activity was a form of coordination between the Government and Universities.
Mohamad Robi Amri assesses the visit of FMIPA UI to the BNPB Office as a campaign venue between Universities and BNPB to minimize disaster risks by embracing the involvement of the younger generation in disaster management.
This visit began with a discussion of learning related to disaster management. The lesson continues by visiting the Operations Control Center (PUSDALOP).
The participants were very enthusiastic when visiting this PUSDALOP. Mohamad Robi Amri explained, the Emergency Operation Center was very important and became the frontline to dig up information in disaster-affected areas. Pusdalop, he continued, was tasked with conveying what had happened to the Head of BPBD to make an official statement shortly after the disaster using various communication channels.
Besides visiting the PUSDALOP, the participants also had an opportunity visit Pemantauan Situasi Siaga Bencana (Pastigana) dan Diorama Kebencanaan Pusat Data Informasi dan Hubungan Masyarakat (Pusdatinmas).
