 Flood hit, the connecting road between Palu City and Sigi Putus Regency
The land route that connects Palu City with a number of villages in four Subdistricts in Sigi
Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, was again severed due to flooding on Friday (05/17/2019).
Andry, an officer from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Central Sulawesi
Province, confirmed that the road between Saluki Village, Gumbasa Subdistrict and Tuva was
broken down again by the flood.
The road body was washed away by the flood and it was completely impassable to vehicles,
including motorbikes.
The problem is, the road body that was recently repaired due to a break during a flash flood on
April 28, 2019, was again hit by flooding.
Vehicles from the direction of the Kulawi District to Palu, the Capital of the Province of Central
Sulawesi were forced to turn back to Kulawi again while waiting for the broken road to be
repaired by the authorities.
Likewise, public and private transport vehicles from the direction of Palu to Kulawi cannot
continue the journey and must return home to the city of Palu.
"It took several days to repair the broken road lane that was hit by the flood," he said.
The pathway is vital for the economy of the people in four districts namely Kulawi, Kulawi
Selatan, Liundu and Pipikoro because there are no other alternative routes that can be passed.
Oscar, a civil servant in the Pipikoro District Office, Sigi Regency. He confirmed the path had
broken again due to flooding.
Thus, over the next few days, the path will certainly not be passed because it will be repaired by
the Public Works and Public Housing Agency (PUPR).
The people certainly hope that the path can be repaired as soon as possible because there are no
other alternative roads that can be passed.
"That is indeed the only land route that has been passed by vehicles from Palu to Kulawi and
three other districts and vice versa," Oscar said.

 The forest fire on Mount Merbabu extends to Semarang

With makeshift equipment, officers tried to extinguish the fire that burned down
the slope to the top of Mount Merbabu in the Magelang region, Saturday morning.
Nahas, due to the strong winds and dry savannah, the fire continued to spread to
other areas.
As aired Liputan6 SCTV, Saturday (09/14/2019), flames began to be seen in
Semarang Regency.
District officer of Gunung Merbabu National Park suspects that the fire was
triggered by an arson activity by one of the residents in the Magelang Regency
area, where the fire originated.
"For the suspicion that there is a person who cleans and burns the activities, they
are left behind," said Gunung Merbabu National Park Officer Nurpana Sulaksono.
The Gunung Merbabu National Park forest in the Ampel region, Boyolali, was still
burning on Saturday morning. Even though the location is far from the village,

settlements.
Today, the plan is for officers and volunteers to go back to blackouts. (Rio

 Courage of Air Force Pilot Makes Artificial Rain in the Surrounding Smoke Forest of Riau

Three aircraft owned by the Indonesian Air Force were operated to create artificial rain over
smog and Riau's forest and land fires (Karhutla). One of them is a Hercules from Halim
Perdanakusuma Air Base.
Previously, only one aircraft operated salt seed into the clouds so that rain quickly fell to
overcome land fires. One flight, the aircraft can carry 800 kilograms of salt which can speed up
the rain.
According to expert staff of the National Disaster Management Agency, Young Marshal
(Retired) Bonar Hutagaol, the addition of planes is expected to increase rain falls in Riau.
"Thus, suppression of land fires will be effective," said Bonar at Lanes Roesmin Nurjadin
Pekanbaru, Saturday afternoon, September 14, 2019.
For the arrival of Hercules, Bonar said that they were still waiting for the installation of salt
seeding equipment. Once completed, Hercules immediately flew to Pekanbaru to help implement
the weather modification technology.
"Immediately put into operation, while there is potential for rain clouds for three days based on
estimates from BMKG," Bonar said.
According to Bonar, the smog and the decrease in visibility did not become obstacles for the
Indonesian Air Force aircraft sowing salt. The aircraft is equipped with a system to keep take off
and landing in the haze.
For a distance of 500 meters due to haze, Bonar said salt seeding aircraft can still fly. It's just that
it takes courage from the pilots and studies so as not to cause danger.
"If the distance is 300 meters, because the smog can't fly," said Bonar.
Bonar explained, the results of salt seeding in the last few days have shown results. Friday night
to early Saturday, rain fell to the ground in the Indragiri Hilir, Bengkalis and Siak Regencies.
