00:00The government of West Sumatra province along with the government of Agam Regency and Tanah Datar Regency

00:10has validated the data on the number of residents who still reside in the red zone of Mount Marapi

00:16within a radius of 4.5 km from the peak of Mount Marapi.

00:21This validation activity was reported by the spokesman of the regional disaster response body,

00:26BPBD West Sumatra, Ilham Wahab, in Padang on Thursday, November 7.

00:31This validation is important as the rise in the status of Mount Marapi from level 2 Waspada

00:37to level 3 Siaga, starting from Rabu 6 November at 3.15 p.m. WEST INDONESIA time.

00:44According to Ilham, validation is an initial mitigation step to protect people

00:50who are active or live in the red zone of Mount Marapi.

00:54Next, the regional government will choose and provide a shelter,

00:59especially for the residents of the red zone of Mount Marapi.

01:03We have also validated that in Tanah Datar, there is no house, but a farmhouse,

01:13and it has been emptied.

01:16We have not received the details in Agam, because there are several houses in Agam.

01:24We will coordinate this with Agam, because if it is emptied, the needs must be prepared.

01:32If the people are evacuated, the needs must be prepared.

01:37Meanwhile, the post-monitoring officer of Mount Marapi, PGA Marapi, reported the evaluation results

01:43of Mount Marapi activities from 16 to 31 October.

01:48From the evaluation, it was found that the release of toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide

01:54or SO2 of Mount Marapi is still relatively low.

01:59As far as toxic gases are concerned, based on our research,

02:07there are no toxic gases that are deadly.

02:22They are still concentrated in the red zone or below.

02:27Throughout 2024, the status of Mount Marapi in West Sumatra has changed twice.

02:33The first change occurred in early January 2024,

02:37as the activity of eruptions and earthquakes increased after a major eruption

02:41that caused 24 climbers to die.

02:45The second change occurred at the beginning of July, the status of Level 2 Waspada,

02:49based on the evaluation and monitoring results on the ground.
