This page is dedicated by RDI to record the knowledge management regarding the volcanic
eruptions of Mount Semeru, East Java, inflicting fatalities, injuries, and damages to the
island and its inhabitants. We are provided with a steady stream of data, thanks to our on-
site partners involved in the region, which we are trying to process and elaborate on in
order
to inform readers about relief efforts, damage to communities, cities and districts, as well
as
rehabilitation and reconstruction evaluations and current progress.
It is hoped that our findings could bring light to how various public sectors are affected,
the
immediate needs of those who are currently displaced, how to mitigate and reduce the
impact of disaster in the future, and what we need to be aware of in an emergency
response setting. The findings will be published on our website as additional information
for
individuals and institutions that are involved in the earthquake relief and response
efforts.
