Apart from local residents, the victims of the second landslide included members of the search team comprising military officers and Search and Rescue Office (Basarnas) personnel.
The number of fatalities might increase as the search team continued to look for more bodies under the landslide mud.
U-Inspire Indonesia and Sky Volunteer are also directly involved in this process by doing:
Aerial Damage Assessment
Emergency Response Documentation
Monitor Health Protocol in emergency response
Data and Information Center Support
(other support according to the development of the situation in the field)
Map of landslide impact in Kecamatan Cimanggung, Desa Cihanjuang, Kabupaten Sumedang
These activities are needed to support the Search and Rescue of Cimanggung Landslide Victims (Kab Sumedang) with the application of technology and of course, require large operational funds, and currently, our team is already in the disaster area. We expect donations from #orangBaik via our platform for the following uses:
Team Operations for Aerial Mapping, Data Processing, Data Analysis, and Data Dissemination
Purchasing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as boots, rubber gloves, masks, etc.
