THE PROBLEM
"More than 10,000 residents of Karangasem regency, Bali have been evacuated from their homes as Mount Agung continues to show increasing signs of volcanic seismic activity. Magma flows rising closer to the surface have led to hundreds of tremors, prompting families to evacuate the area. The last erUption in 1963 led to a death toll of 1,148 and 296 injured. The residents are currently being evacuated into four evacuation points, in Klungkung,
Karangasem and Buleleng. In one of the locations - Desa Les, Buleleng, Bali, as of the morning of 23 September there were 1,490 evacuees from Ban, Kubu, Karangasem. This number will be Updated this evening. The volcano’s alert status is currently at awas or level 4, with the government now preparing measures to anticipate a possible eruption."
THE SOLUTION
We are connecting hygiene kits comprising of buckets, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, sanitary pads, diapers as well as food and Nazava water filters and cups to families affected by the volcano’s increasing activity.
THE EXPECTED IMPACT
Hygiene kits and Nazava water filters and other urgent needs will be distributed by Kopernik in partnership with IDEP, local government emergency response teams and Posko Les Singaraja for free.
