Flood Preparedness: Published on 13 November 2007


We had the 'Flood Preparedness Meeting' called by our Governor Mr. Irwandi, in collaboration with UN. The Head of UN is from India, and is very dynamic personality. The meeting discussed about flood scenario of Aceh Province, and how to move ahead.

In Indonesia, a Government department called SATKORLAK is responsible for flood management and mitigation. The average rainfall in Aceh Province varies from 1500 mm in the east to 4500 mm in the west. Every year, around 1000 ha is being affected by the floods. Its minuscule when compared to India.
