        "summary": "The Indonesian government, via Satgas PRR and BNPB, is accelerating Huntara temporary shelters across Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra to move thousands of disaster-affected residents out of emergency tents ahead of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2026. Huntara 2026 introduces higher quality standards, with President Prabowo Subianto directing designs to maximise comfort during the transition to Huntap. The programme includes a raised DTH monthly payment of Rp600,000 and a clear timeline, aiming for mid-March 2026 completion, with Huntara free and residents allowed to stay up to one year, including provisions for repairs.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia\u2019s government, through the Satgas PRR (Task Force for\nAcceleration of Rehabilitation and Reconstruction) and the National\nDisaster Management Agency (BNPB), is stepping up the construction of\nHuntara temporary shelters in Sumatra. The plan aims to ensure thousands\nof residents affected by flash floods and landslides in Aceh, North\nSumatra and West Sumatra can abandon emergency tents before Ramadan and\nEid al-Fitr 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike earlier emergency housing, Huntara Sumatra 2026 adopts higher\nquality standards. Under instructions from President Prabowo Subianto,\nunits are designed to provide maximum comfort during the transitional\nperiod towards the permanent housing (Huntap).<\/p>\n<p>As of the end of February 2026, physical progress has shown positive\nmomentum at strategic locations.<\/p>\n<p>Many residents remain unclear about the status of their housing.\nHuntara is a temporary residence used during the transition period (a\nmaximum of one year). Huntap (Permanent Housing) is the permanent home\nbuilt at relocation sites safe from disaster zones. Huntap development\nis also underway in parallel at several sites in West Sumatra and\nAceh.<\/p>\n<p>For families yet to receive a Huntara or who are staying with\nrelatives, the government provides the Dana Tunggu Hunian (DTH). In\n2026, this assistance is Rp600,000 per month (up from Rp500,000) to\nsupport the cost of renting independent housing.<\/p>\n<p>Before occupying a unit, residents are advised to consider the\nfollowing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>When is the target for all evacuees to move into Huntara? The\ngovernment targets all evacuees in emergency tents to move to Huntara or\nreceive DTH no later than mid-March 2026 (before Eid).<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Is Huntara free? Yes, construction and use of Huntara are fully\nfunded by the government through BNPB\u2019s ready-to-use funds and support\nfrom state-owned enterprises.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>How long can residents stay in Huntara? A maximum of one year,\nuntil Huntap is completed and ready for occupation.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>What if a Huntara unit is damaged? Residents can report to the\noperator of the Huntara area or the nearest BPBD post for repairs\ncarried out by the Satgas TNI\/Polri or the implementing state-owned\nenterprises.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The acceleration of Huntara development in Sumatra at the start of\n2026 stands as tangible evidence of the state\u2019s presence in rebuilding\ncommunity life after disasters. With higher standards and strict\ntimelines, survivors are expected to observe the Eid holidays with\ngreater calm and dignity while awaiting safer permanent housing in the\nfuture.<\/p>",
