Ministry of Forestry Develops Advanced Flood Mitigation Monitoring Application

Enhancing Early Warning Systems for Flood-Prone Areas

The Indonesian Ministry of Forestry is currently developing a sophisticated flood mitigation monitoring application designed to significantly enhance early warning systems across the country. This technological initiative comes in response to the increasing frequency and severity of flood disasters in various regions of Indonesia, including the recent devastating floods in Sumatra and Aceh.

Key Features and Objectives

The application is being designed as a comprehensive early warning system that will be accessible to both the general public and government agencies. According to Rohmat Marzuki, Vice Minister of Forestry, the system will provide real-time monitoring and timely alerts to help mitigate the impact of potential flooding events. The development of this application demonstrates the government's proactive approach to addressing the growing challenge of flood disasters in Indonesia.
