PANDEGLANG (November 2, 2019) - The Ministry of Social Affairs distributed the second phase of social life assistance to 1,026 families affected by the Sunda Strait tsunami disaster in Pandeglang Regency. Jadup was symbolically handed over to ten of them.

Even for Pandeglang, we have confirmed about 10 districts the existence of KSB. After KSB, the schools are also prepared. There are activities dealing with Tagana Goes to School as well", said Harry.

Therefore, Harry suggested that Pandeglang residents start to get used to internalization an understanding of disaster.

Pandeglang Regency became an area affected by the Sunda Strait tsunami disaster on December 22, 2018. It made many of its citizens lose family members and property.

One of the ten residents who received jadup from Labuan Subdistrict, Ranti, told the loss she experienced after the disaster struck the area where she stayed. Her house was destroyed from the roof to the wall so that the jadup she got would be used to repair her house.

In addition to those who have received their jadup today, the rest are still in the process of verifying and validating the requirements and will be completed as soon as possible into their own accounts, before the Ministry of Social Affairs conducts the next work visits to Pandeglang Regency.
