Bima Arya Emphasises Disaster Mitigation Must Begin at the Planning Stage

Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Bima Arya Sugiarto has emphasised the importance of incorporating disaster risk mitigation from the very beginning of regional development planning. This approach must be supported by spatial planning that considers disaster potential, alongside an integrated system involving various parties.

According to Bima, such an approach is vital to ensure that regional development is not merely focused on achieving development targets, but also accounts for public safety and regional resilience in facing various disaster risks.
