A number of regions begin to be on alert for forest and land fires
Entering the dry season, a number of areas have begun to be wary of forest and land fires (karhutla).
As in Riau Province, the local Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) asked regional heads in the region to immediately form a task force for preventing and handling forest and land fires. Although today there are no hotspots, only hot spots. However, district and city governments need to increase their preparedness to prevent karhuda in Riau, said the Head of BPBD Riau, M Edy Afrizal, in Pekanbaru, yesterday. The formation of the task force is still based on the Riau Governor's Circular (SE) which will be issued soon, following the dry season in Riau. Although the SE is still in the process, continued Edy, the district and city governments can immediately form a task force down to the village level. Hotspots were indeed monitored, but after checking, no land fires were found at the hotspots, he added. Edy said his party together with the Riau Karhutla Prevention Task Force continue to work to prevent land fires in the area. Among other things, by re-activating air patrols to monitor early occurrence of karhuda.
