NGANJUK (February 16, 2021) - Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini pushed for the acceleration of handling post-landslide disasters in Selopuro Hamlet, Ngetos Village, Ngetos District, Nganjuk Regency. Social Minister Risma asked for quick steps from the Nganjuk Regional Heads Forum (Forkopimda) in an effort to relocate the victim's residence.
“After this, I will communicate with Forkopimda. Because like what happened yesterday in Kebumen and North Halmahera, his house can no longer be occupied. If someone occupies it, we are afraid (we are worried that) it will happen again," said Risma when visiting the main post for emergency response to landslides at the Ngetos District Office, Tuesday (16/2).
According to him, various types of disasters that occur are the impact of global warming. “The impact of global warming is extraordinary. The rainfall is quite high. If it is not reliable (to return to live) there, it must be moved. Regarding the land issue, I will discuss it later," he added.
Risma then immediately communicated this with the Nganjuk Forkopimda, starting from the Camat and Head of the Ngeos Village, the Head of the Resort Police, the Dandim, to the Nganjuk Regent. In the dialogue, Risma asked for data on the total number of victims affected by the disaster and the land prepared for relocation.
Referring to the information from the Nganjuk Regent, Novi Rahman Hidayat, there were 54 families (KK) or 186 people who were affected by the landslide in Selopuro Hamlet, Ngetos. So, the land required for relocation is approximately 25 hectares.
Responding to Risma's request, the Nganjuk Regent said that the Nganjuk Regency Government is currently preparing temporary houses (before residents are relocated to new housing) in Sendang Bumen Village, Berbek District.
"There is a former house that was given a grant from the Ministry of PUPR. Previously (used) for transmigration, there were 80 housing units, 40 housing units were filled and 40 houses are now empty and can be occupied,” explained the Regent.
Meanwhile, the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK), Muhadjir Effendy, who was present shortly after the Minister of Social Affairs' arrival, expressed his condolences to the evacuees who lost their family members.

"We are deeply saddened and concerned by this incident. Hopefully the Nganjuk people, especially those affected by this disaster, can get back up soon. To the bereaved families, please be sincere," said Muhadjir in front of the recipients of compensation for the heirs of the deceased.
He also supports the relocation steps sought by Social Minister Risma. "I really support it. To those who will be relocated, please accept them with grace, it is better to be safe than to stay (maintain) a house that is no longer safe," said Muhadjir.
In an effort to deal with the Nganjuk landslide, the Ministry of Social Affairs distributed assistance to the Nganjuk Regency Government worth IDR 443.940.300 consisting of logistical assistance (300 packages of ready-to-eat food, 300 packages of children's food, 300 sheets of mattresses, 200 sheets of mattresses, 200 sheets of blankets, 50 packages of kids ware and 100 rolls of tents), compensation for the heirs for the 12 families of the deceased (IDR 15 million each), and compensation for 2 survivors with serious injuries (IDR 5 million each).
