YOGYAKARTA EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Date: 21 April 2017 at 16:00 WIB
1. CURRENT CONDITIONS
On Sunday, 16 April 2017 at 17:12 WIB, a 7.2 MW magnitude, IX intensity1 earthquake struck 37.2 km south
of Yogyakarta City at a depth of 33 km as reported by Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi da Geofisika
(“BMKG”). See Appendix “A”, Earthquake Epicentre Map. No tsunami was generated from this
earthquake. All four regencies of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (Bantul, Gunung Kidul, Kulon Progo
and Sleman) and Yogyakarta City were affected by the earthquake, as were the Central Java regencies of
Magelang, Boyolali, Klaten and Purworejo. Adisutjipto International Airport (JOG) in the Special Region
of Yogyakarta (“DIY”) was immediately closed to conduct damage assessments of the runway and
facilities.
Immediately following the earthquake, the Mount Merapi volcano, located 30 km north of Yogyakarta
City (elevation 2,950 m) exhibited a dramatic increase in its volcanic ash plume, with the plume reaching
a height of 7 km. Prevailing winds from south-south-east (SSE) began pushing the cloud into the interior
of Central Java. The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (“PVMBG”), Kementerian Energi dan
Sumbar daya Mineral (“ESDM”) issued an “Alert 2 (Code Yellow – Danger / Waspada)” and advised
national, provincial and local officials that, while an eruption did not appear to be imminent, officials
should prepare for a possible increase to Alert 3 (Code Orange – Ready to Erupt / Siaga) with increased
seismicity, including possible eruption, and evacuation of persons in the Forbidden, First Danger and
Second Danger Zones surrounding Mount Merapi (See Appendix “B”, Hazard Map for Mount Merapi.).
Flights into Achmad Yani Airport, Semarang City, were cancelled as the path of the ash cloud was
monitored (Achmad Yani Airport reopened the afternoon of 17 April 2017 but aircraft are prohibited from
approaching the airport from the south-west due to the Mount Merapi ash cloud plume.). As of 21 April
2017, the ash cloud from Mount Merapi continues.
Immediately after the earthquake, local police, fire, emergency services, the TNI and the affected
populations in the affected area began responding to the earthquake disaster. In Jakarta, the Badan
Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (“BNPB”) and, in DIY and Central Java, the Badan Penanggulangan
Bencana Daerah (“BPBD”) began initial assessment and response operations coordination. Initial reports
on the morning of 17 April estimated 2,500 dead, 1,500 seriously injured and 4,000 homes destroyed,
mainly due to collapsing structures. Casualty and damage estimates steadily rose as more assessments
were conducted. While areas of Yogyakarta and Central Java suffered damage, the regencies of Bantul
and Selman (respectively, south and north of Yogyakarta City) in DIY, and Boyolali and Klaten (both

Under the Medvedev–Sponheuer–Karnik scale, level IX (Destructive) is classified as: “General panic. People may
be forcibly thrown to the ground. Waves are seen on soft ground. Substandard structures collapse. Substantial
damage to well-constructed structures. Underground pipelines ruptured. Ground fracturing, widespread landslides.”
northeast of Yogyakarta City) in Central Java were the hardest hit, with most of the casualties and damage
to structures in those areas.
On the morning of Monday, 17 April 2017, the Head of BNPB deployed the first batch (75-members) of
the Satuan Reaksi Cepat Penanggulangan Bencana (“SRC-PB,” aka “INDRRA”), a civil-military stand-by
reaction force, to Yogyakarta to assist local governments in assessments, coordination and response.
By mid-afternoon on Monday, 17 April 2017, assessments showed that the damage and casualties from
the earthquake exceeded the capacity of the Provincial Governments of DIY and Central Java to response
with only internal resources. Sultan Hamengkubuwono X of Yogyakarta and Governor Ganjar Pranowo of
Central Java declared Provincial Disaster Emergencies. As assessments continued to be received, it
became clear that the disaster would exceed the national capacity to respond. As a result, on Tuesday,
18 April 2017 at 13:00 WIB, the President of Indonesia declared a National Disaster Emergency and
conveyed that Indonesia would accept offers of international assistance, including the use of foreign
military and civil defence assets (MCDA) in the response.
On the morning of 19 April, Adisutjipto International Airport reopened but is limited to daylight hours
operations, visual flight rules only, due to damage to the control tower and navigation aids. The airport
further reports damage to freight handling facilities at the airport. All flights into Adisutjipto Airport are
to avoid approaches from the north-west, and approach from the south or south-east, due to the Mount
Merapi volcanic ash plume.
At 02:30 on 20 April 2017, following an aftershock, the Badan Tenaga Nuklir Nasional (“BATAN”) reported
that unsafe levels of radiation were recorded outside of the Pusat Sains dan Teknologi Akselerator (“PTSA)
facility on Jl. Babarsari, Depok, Sleman Regency, DIY. PTSA houses a 250Mw training, research, isotope
production / irradiation, general atomics (TRIGA) Type II nuclear reactor. Dosimeter readings outside of
the PTSA facility recorded rates at 0.02 mSv/hr (2 mrem/hr).2 BATAN also reported air concentration
readings outside of the PTSA facility at 7.4 X 10-6 Bq/ml (2 X 10-10 µCi/ml of air). BATAN immediately began
monitoring the situation. At 08:00 on 21 April 2017, BATAN and DIY officials imposed 2 km mandatory /
3 km voluntary evacuation zones around PTSA with the potential of increasing the evacuation zones radii
to 3 km mandatory / 5 km voluntary around PTSA should radiation levels rise. See Appendix “C”, 2, 3 & 5
km Evacuation Zone Map. Although Adisutjipto Airport lies within the 3 km voluntary evacuation zone,
and the western portion of the runway lies within the 2 km mandatory evacuation zone, the airport
remains open for relief operations.
As of 20 April 2017, 752 aftershocks of varying intensity have been recorded by BMKG, with the largest
recorded at 5.2 MW.
As of 15:00 on 21 April 2016, BNPB is reporting 5,775 confirmed dead, 46,021 confirmed injured and
558,472 confirmed displaced. See Appendix “D”, BNPB Yogyakarta Earthquake Casualty Statistics.

– Danger / Waspada) remains in effect for areas surrounding Mount Merapi. However, PVMBG continues
to advise national, provincial and local officials that, while an eruption does not appear to be imminent,
officials should prepare for a possible increase to Alert 3 (Code Orange – Ready to Erupt / Siaga) with
increased seismicity, including possible eruption, and evacuation of persons in Forbidden, First Danger
and Second Danger Zones surrounding Mount Merapi (See Appendix “B”, Hazard Map for Mount Merapi.).
Due to the ash plume arising from Mount Merapi, the Direktorat Jenderal Perhubungan Udara continues
to advise pilots to exercise extreme caution in flying in Jawa Tengah. Further, with winds out of the
southeast, the Direktorat is ordering that all flights into Adisutjipto International Airport avoid approaches
from the northwest, in the vicinity of the ash cloud.
BATAN continues to monitor the status of the PTSA facility secondary to the release of radiation in excess
of safe levels from the facility. A 2 km mandatory evacuation zone around the PTSA facility has been
ordered, with a 3 km voluntary evacuation zone implemented. Persons living or working within the 2 km
mandatory evacuation zone are in danger of cumulative radiation doses in excess of safe levels. BATAN
has further advises that should radiation levels increase, the evacuation zones may be expanded to 3 km

Kementerian Pertanian, Kementerian Koperasi dan Usaha Kecil dan Menengah, United Nations Food and
Agricultural Organization (“FAO”) and WFP have activated the Economy Cluster.
Initial needs assessments show that food assistance is required for 560,000 persons for a minimum of 4
weeks. WFP reports that initial bulk shipments of food assistance is en route to the Port of Tanjung Intan.
Assessments for post-crisis economic recovery continue. Economy Cluster agencies are coordinating with
the Early Recovery Cluster in developing a Recovery Plan involving grants or low interest recovery loans
to small and medium-sized businesses, and grants, low interest loans and agricultural supplies to farmer,
in the affected area.
In coordination with BATAN, Economy Cluster agencies are assessing the impact the PTSA radiological
accident may have on farms and gardens in the affected area. Economy Cluster member agencies report
that they welcome technological expertise assistance in conducting this assessment.
I. BNPP
Badan Nasional Pencarian dan Pertolongan (BNPP, formerly “BASARNAS”), the TNI and UN OCHA earlier
activated the Search and Rescue Cluster.

operations have turned from search and rescue to recovery of remains. BNPP reports that there is no
need for foreign SAR teams in the affected area.
BNPP further reports that there is a shortage of mortuary supplies, including body bags, in the affected
area. However, culturally appropriate supplies, including body bags, are being brought in from within the
region.
Local officials have reported to BNPP that local mortuaries are overwhelmed with the number of dead
following the earthquake.
J. TNI
Tentara Nasional Indonesia (“TNI”) have been fully engaged in disaster response operations since 16 April
2017. In coordination with national, provincial and local responding agencies and officials, TNI personnel
have supported civilian response efforts by conducting needs and operational assessments, delivery of
relief goods and providing medical care to the affected population, evacuation of persons affected by the
PTSA radiological disaster, contingency planning for possible expansion of the radiological accident
evacuation zone and / or evacuations from the slopes of the Mount Merapi volcano, opening of
transportation infrastructure and logistics.
Multinational military forces from Multinational Planning Augmentation Team (“MPAT”) Nations are due
to arrive in Jakarta no later than the evening of 21 April 2017. On the morning of 22 April 2017, MPAT
Nations and Mabes TNI staff planners will begin multinational, coordinated planning of military support
to the Government of Indonesia’s earthquake response operations. MPAT Nations ad TNI planners will
also begin preparing contingency plans to support Government of Indonesia-led evacuation operations in
the event the PTSA radiological accident evacuation zones are expanded to 3 and 5 km and/or there is an
order to evacuate persons from danger zones on the slopes of the Mount Merapi volcano. As part of this
planning, Mabes TNI is expected to help establish a Multinational Coordination Center (“MNCC”) for
K. NATIONAL POLICE
Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia (“POLRI”) reports that it has deployed additional police officers to
help provide law and order to the affected area during the emergency response. POLRI officers are
working closely with Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja (“Satpol – PP”) to patrol areas affected by the earthquake,
especially areas where large numbers of displaced persons have gathered.
POLRI officers assisted in the evacuation of persons within the 2 km mandatory radiological evacuation
zone and 3 km voluntary evacuation zone. POLRI officers are participating in preparing plans to expand
the radiological evacuation zones to 3 km (mandatory) and 5 km (voluntary) if so ordered.
POLRI officers are supporting contingency planning efforts for the possible evacuation of persons within
the danger zones on the slopes of the Mount Merapi volcano in the event of an eruption.
POLRI officers are participating in Displacement and Protection Cluster meetings chaired by the Ministry
of Social Affairs. POLRI officers are also participating in Displaced Persons Working Group (“DPWG”)
meetings and Sexual and Gender-based Violence (“SGBV”) working group meetings in Yogyakarta City.
3. CHALLENGES
Re-opening of transportation infrastructure to allow for the receipt and distribution of relief goods
remains a priority.
Logistics and Equipment Cluster agencies report that they are investigating what restrictions are now in
place regarding transiting of vehicles through the 2 km mandatory radiological evacuation zone.
Imposition of the evacuation zones has raised questions regarding whether major roadways within the
zones can be used for the delivery of relief goods. If transiting through the 2 km zone is prohibited,
Logistics and Equipment Cluster agencies report that several major north-south and east-west roadways
will no longer be available for relief goods distribution.
BNPB reports that if Mount Merapi should become more active and an Alert 3 be declared, that
evacuation of persons within the Forbidden Zone and First and Second Danger Zones will further
complicate the response operations and stress the availability of relief supplies. BNPB further notes that
with damage to roadways and debris on roadways will complicate any evacuation of persons from the
slopes of the Mount Merapi volcano.
Health Cluster officials remain concerned that if supplies of potable water and sanitation facilities are not
made available to the affected populations in the near future, there is the potential for an epidemic of
water-borne diseases among the affected population. Further, Displacement and Protection Cluster
officials are concerned over the lack of temporary shelter materials or temporary housing availability in
the area.
As of 21 April 2017, there continues to be insufficient food assistance supplies in the affected area.
BATAN will continue to monitor the levels of radiation and air concentrations around the PTSA nuclear
research facility and report its findings to BNPB, BPBD, and national, provincial and regency officials.
Should recorded levels rise, BATAN may recommend expanding the radiation exclusion zones to 3 km
mandatory and 5 km voluntary around PTSA.
MAC and other coordination meetings chaired or supported by BNPB will continue to meet to coordinate
response operations in the affected area. Cluster meetings chaired by their respective Cluster Lead and
co-Lead Agencies continue to coordinate on-going assessments and response operations.
Mabes TNI and MPAT Nations’ planners are to convene 22 April 2017 to begin coordinated planning for
multinational military support the Government of Indonesia earthquake response. This support will be
coordinated with the TNI and Government, Provincial and Regency / City officials and civilian response
agencies, and with the United Nations and non-governmental humanitarian agencies, funds and
programmes.
The next Daily Report will be issued at 16:00 WIB on 23 April 2017.
