"We have readied EWS support by delivering disaster information through national SMS alerts and digital television broadcasts," said Wayan Toni Supriyanto, Director General of Digital Infrastructure, in Jakarta on Friday.
The EWS will send notifications to residents via digital TV if a disaster occurs in their local area. To ensure accurate alerts, the public is advised to set up their digital TV services according to their home zip codes.
The government has also prepared the 112 call center service to provide rapid responses for citizens needing assistance during emergencies, such as accidents.
The 112 emergency service is currently available in Jakarta and 190 districts and cities across Indonesia.
The public can reach the call center free of charge, which connects directly to police, fire departments, and ambulance services.
Secretary General of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs, Ismail, stated that mitigation efforts also include preparing telecommunications services.
"Our priority is to secure the most urgent need for telecommunication networks or signals, which is electricity," he asserted.
In this regard, he affirmed that his ministry is coordinating with state-run electricity company PLN to prepare backup plans in case a disaster occurs.
Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi has earlier announced that 143.91 million people are projected to travel during the 2026 Eid al-Fitr travel season, based on a survey conducted by the Ministry of Transportation.
In line with the expected massive movement of people, he urged all parties to anticipate extreme weather conditions.
