        "content": "<p>The earthquake that occurred on Saturday (15\/8) also affected 47 PNM\nwork units in the Flores region, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). As of the\nmonitoring process, 792 PNM employees have been confirmed safe.<\/p>\n<p>In response, PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (Persero), through PNM\nPeduli, continues to coordinate with PNM\u2019s regional network to gain a\npicture of the condition of affected communities, customers, and PNM\npersonnel. PNM is also visiting evacuation points to distribute aid\naccording to needs on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>To accelerate post-earthquake handling, PNM has activated its RESPATI\nteam to conduct rapid assessments in several areas. On Sunday (16\/8),\nthe team began moving with initial supplies of instant food and\nmedicines.<\/p>\n<p>From field mapping, community needs extend beyond food. Vulnerable\ngroups in evacuation shelters also require baby formula and nappies,\nsanitary pads, and hygiene supplies. PNM has adjusted its aid to better\nmatch these needs.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday (17\/8), 147 aid packages worth Rp144 million were\ndispatched, reaching 1,347 beneficiaries across eight evacuation points\nand affected areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a disaster situation, community needs can change rapidly.\nTherefore, PNM Peduli does not only focus on sending aid, but first\nassesses the conditions and needs on the ground. We hope the assistance\nprovided truly benefits the affected communities and PNM personnel,\u201d\nsaid Made Dwantara Wijaya, Head of PNM Denpasar Branch, in a statement\non Thursday (20\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday (18\/8), the RESPATI team and the PNM Denpasar Branch team\ndistributed aid to the Alok Timur area. The aid consisted of basic\nfoodstuffs and personal hygiene and health supplies worth Rp15\nmillion.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday (19\/8), the PNM Denpasar Branch team, together with the\nRESPATI team and PNM Peduli, again reached three evacuation points in\nSambi Rampas and surrounding areas, namely Golosita Post, Wangkung Post,\nand Sambi Rampas District Post.<\/p>\n<p>At least 1,101 displaced people received aid including mineral water,\nrice, instant noodles, eggs, sardines, bread, cooking oil, and milk. At\nGolosita Post, 158 evacuees, the majority of whom are PNM Mekaar\ncustomers, also received assistance.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s journey did not stop at evacuation posts. PNM Peduli also\nsupported the needs of public kitchens in the Reok area and its\nsurroundings by purchasing supplies such as rice, eggs, instant noodles,\nmineral water, bread, cooking oil, and other food items.<\/p>\n<p>PNM also continues to monitor the condition of employees and\ncustomers in affected areas. For PNM Mekaar customers, the impact of the\ndisaster can also mean the halt of business activities and reduced\nfamily income. Therefore, their condition and needs will continue to be\npart of PNM\u2019s monitoring during the recovery process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to ensure that when communities are in difficult situations,\nPNM does not only come bringing aid, but also remains with them until\nconditions gradually recover. After emergency needs are met, we will\ncontinue to assess follow-up needs, including how customers can resume\ntheir activities and businesses,\u201d explained PNM President Director,\nKindaris.<\/p>\n<p>Through PNM Peduli, PNM will continue to follow developments on the\nground and reach areas requiring support. From one post to another, aid\nis delivered based on the real needs of the community.<\/p>",
