Ali explained that preparedness is also essential for officers tasked with providing information to the public. Furthermore, social media has become a crucial tool for quickly disseminating disaster information.
"Safety must remain the top priority," he explained.
After the simulation, Ali continued, the Jakarta Provincial BPBD conducted an evaluation that included siren readiness, the timeliness of information delivery to employees, and increasing the preparedness of BPBD officers in dealing with earthquake situations.
Head of the East Jakarta City Disaster Management Task Force, Rangga Bima Setiawan, said that his party deployed 10 BPBD Task Force personnel to support the implementation of the simulation.
"This simulation activity was held simultaneously across Jakarta, not only at the mayor's office but also at urban villages, schools, and districts," he said.
Meanwhile, Jarden, an employee at the East Jakarta Mayor's Office, appreciated the implementation of the simulation because it increased insight and provided practical understanding on how to save oneself when an earthquake occurs, especially when carrying out activities in a multi-story building.
"We are very grateful and appreciate the socialization and earthquake response simulations. This is truly essential for office employees," he admitted.
