        "content": "<p>South Lampung Regency, Lampung Province \u2013 The South Lampung Regency\nGovernment has emphasised the importance of residents maintaining\npreparedness in the face of potential disasters, even though the\nvolcanic activity status of Mount Anak Krakatau (GAK) has decreased from\nLevel III (Alert) to Level II (Warning).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reduction in status does not mean our vigilance should also\ndecrease. Safety limits and safety regulations must still be obeyed,\u201d\nsaid M. Darmawan, Assistant for Government and Public Welfare of the\nSouth Lampung Regency Regional Secretary, while leading the weekly\nassembly at Korpri Field, Kalianda, on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded all civil servants (ASN) and the public to continue\ncomplying with safety provisions despite the downward trend in Mount\nAnak Krakatau\u2019s activity.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, disaster preparedness must be established before an\nemergency occurs. These preparations include updating disaster data,\nensuring the readiness of evacuation routes, and defining the tasks and\nroles of each party in facing emergency conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe principle is simple: we do not want the public to panic, but the\npublic must know what to do. Remain calm, but do not be careless,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>He added that such steps are necessary so that the community can\nremain calm while simultaneously understanding the actions required\nshould a disaster occur.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Mount Anak Krakatau had been at Level III (Alert) since 2\nJuly 2026 due to increased seismic activity and deformation. During that\nperiod, 224 eruptions were recorded up until 3 September 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The volcano also experienced continuous eruptions for approximately\n25 hours from 4 to 6 September 2026, which produced lava flows towards\nthe northwest, west, and southwest.<\/p>\n<p>Although activity levels have now decreased, residents in the coastal\nareas of Lampung and Banten are still requested to follow official\ninformation from the Geological Agency and the Regional Disaster\nManagement Agency (BPBD) and to remain wary of potential changes in\nvolcanic activity.<\/p>",
