Mount Merapi, one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia, experienced a significant eruption recently which had a major impact on the surrounding community. This eruption, which occurred last month, caused a wave of anxiety among residents living on the slopes of the mountain and the surrounding area. The impact of the eruption of Mount Merapi varies, from infrastructure damage to health threats. Volcanic ash spread into residential areas, covering houses, gardens and roads, disrupting daily activities. Communities exposed to this ash are experiencing serious respiratory problems, and as a result, local health services are facing a surge in patients. Additionally, hot lava flows can destroy agricultural land, which is crucial for local economies that depend on agriculture. Evacuation measures are the main priority after the eruption. The local Disaster Control Center, together with volunteers, immediately set up evacuation posts equipped with medicine, food and other basic equipment. Refugees consist of families forced to leave their homes, many of whom are the most vulnerable children and elderly people. The local government is coordinating with the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) to optimize the evacuation process. Evacuation routes have been determined, and the disaster management team is running simulations to ensure all residents understand the steps to take in the event of an eruption. In some cases, villagers refused to evacuate because they felt that their homes were safe, so psychological treatment was also an important part of this disaster mitigation effort. Education about disasters has also become a main focus after the eruption. Various educational programs are carried out to teach the public about the early signs of an eruption and emergency actions that need to be taken. The training is expected to better prepare them to face possible future eruptions. The communities around Mount Merapi show extraordinary resilience. Mutual cooperation is an important value in facing this crisis. The community supports each other, both during the evacuation process and while in refugee camps. Distribution of aid from various institutions, both local and international, has helped ease the burden on refugees. Facing the uncertainty brought by volcanic activity, it is important for the public to remain calm and stay informed. Valid sources of information and updates from the authorities will be very helpful in overcoming panic that may arise. Efforts to restore the situation after the eruption require synergy between the government and society so that life can return to normal. Active involvement in future mitigation and monitoring programs for Mount Merapi is also an important step to reduce the risks and impacts posed by the next eruption.
