        "content": "<p>Member of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives\n(DPR RI) Yuliansyah has reminded the government to be alert to the\nimpact of prolonged drought and forest and land fires (karhutla) on the\navailability of public necessities, particularly in West Kalimantan. He\nstressed that drought not only damages the environment but also has the\npotential to disrupt the stability of staple food supplies, which could\ntrigger a food crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Yuliansyah assessed that this condition requires serious attention\nfrom both central and regional governments. According to him, if water\navailability and staple goods supply are not anticipated early, it will\ntrigger more severe economic problems for residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLater the water will be difficult, the BPN will not be there, this\nwill have an impact on West Kalimantan,\u201d said Yuliansyah in a press\nrelease received on Tuesday (25\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The legislator from the West Kalimantan I electoral district\nemphasised the importance of ensuring that the distribution of public\nnecessities continues to run smoothly amid extreme weather. Disruptions\nto the supply chain are feared to trigger price increases that will\nultimately burden people\u2019s purchasing power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will have an impact again on the BPN issue. It will affect\nprices for the public again,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Yuliansyah urged collaboration between the central\ngovernment, regional governments, and other relevant parties to prepare\nmitigation measures. The main focus must be directed at clean water\navailability and food security so that the prolonged drought does not\nwiden into an economic crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor that reason, it needs to be a special concern of the central\ngovernment and regional governments as well as parties who can work\ntogether on how to overcome the drought and the impact at the estuary,\u201d\nhe concluded.<\/p>",
