        "content": "<p>The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has stated that\nmulti-disaster vigilance must be the top priority for local governments\nand communities as they prepare for the dual weather transition period\nin June. Abdul Muhari, Chief of the BNPB\u2019s Data, Information, and\nDisaster Communication Centre, said in Jakarta on Friday that\npreparedness is crucial as parts of Indonesia are currently vulnerable\nto simultaneous wet and dry hydro-meteorological threats. \u201cClean water\nshortages and other impacts such as forest and land fires pose serious\nthreats. During the transitional season, there is high vulnerability to\nextreme weather causing heavy rain and strong winds,\u201d he said. He added\nthat as June approaches, parts of Indonesia have entered the dry season,\nwhich could trigger drought conditions. Thus, simultaneous mitigation\nmeasures are key to preventing widespread losses for communities on the\nground during this transitional phase. As part of preparedness for dry\nhydro-meteorological disasters, BNPB is closely monitoring escalating\nforest and land fires in Riau Province, with burnt areas reaching\n3,474.74 hectares as of Wednesday (20 May). Firefighting operations in\nRiau are being intensified through coordinated air and ground efforts,\nwith full support from cross-sectoral agencies. Emergency fire response\nsynergy was also demonstrated in Aceh, where joint teams swiftly\nextinguished a two-hectare land fire in Gampong Blang Pulo, Muara Satu\nSubdistrict, Lhokseumawe City, on Monday (25 May) evening. To minimise\nrisks from this multi-disaster phenomenon, BNPB urges the public to\nregularly monitor weather updates, maintain physical health, clear\ndrainage channels, and prepare emergency disaster kits for their\nfamilies.<\/p>",
