Indonesia: Earthquake - OCHA-17: 06-Jul-06
OCHA Situation Report No. 17
Indonesia: Earthquake and Mt. Merapi Volcano
6 July 2006
This report is based on information received from the UN
Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator's Office in Jakarta, Indonesia, and
the UN team in Yogyakarta.
HIGHLIGHTS
1. The United Nations and its IASC partners have revised the Indonesia
Earthquake 2006 Response Plan (ERP) to aim at closing the gap until the
reconstruction phase takes roots. The ERP was launched in Yogyakarta,
Jakarta and Geneva this week. It was well covered by the national and
local media and reported by the national and local TV stations as well
as the radio stations. Based on thorough assessment and planning, the
total requirement of the revised ERP is USD 80,111,735 of which USD
21,536,369 has already been received or committed. The funding shortfall
is USD 58,575,366.
2. One month after the EQ, the Government considers the emergency phase
over but there are important humanitarian needs yet to be met. Some
sectors are critically under-funded. Consequences, if needs are not met
in the shortest delay, include:
- With the upcoming rainy season, lack of transitional shelter will have
severe health consequences for the vulnerable population.
- Increased risk of outbreaks of infectious diseases if water and
sanitation needs are not addressed.
- If agricultural recovery is not supported, farming families will rely
on handouts and suffer loss of income and indebtedness.
- Higher morbidity and mortality, if health sector interventions are not
supported.
3. Taking into account emergency shelter materials already provided and
in the pipeline, a total of 47,722 extra tarpaulins and related NFIs are
sill required. Approximately 200-260 primary schools are still in need
of receiving basic teaching and learning materials for the new school
year.
4. WHO has proposed issuing a protocol for the donation of medical
supplies to health facilities in earthquake-affected areas. The
organizations that plan to donate the medical supplies are requested to
refer the protocol and follow it.
SITUATION
5. As of 3 July 17:00, the death toll stands at 5,778. The number of
seriously injured stands at 37,883. 139,859 homes have been completely
destroyed. 468,149 additional houses have suffered earthquake damage.
All statistics come from the National Coordinating Board for the
Management of Disaster (BAKORNAS).
6. The local media reports that, due to increasing demand, the prices of
construction materials such as sand, stones, bricks, cement and wood
have risen sharply. With many residents still living in temporary tents,
the Governor of Yogyakarta has decided to extend the emergency phase for
an additional month to the end August.
Yogyakarta
Bantul
7. According to the Bantul district government, 223,117 families
(779,287 people) are still in need of emergency shelters. As of 29 June,
the local government has distributed 2,472 tents, 1,660 tarpaulins, 144
platoon tents. All homeless families should receive emergency shelters
before September when the rainy season starts.
8. The central government emergency assistance package has been
distributed in eleven districts of Bantul while six sub-districts
(Sedayu, Kretek, Srandakan, Pandak, Kasihan and Sanden) have yet to
receive this assistance. The local government is waiting for the release
of funds from the national government.
9. As of 25 June, the local government and organizations have provided
360 school tents. 1,648 additional school tents (6X14m) are needed. The
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has provided 432 school
tents. The priority areas for the tent distribution are Bantul, Sewon,
Kretek, Bambanglipuro, Pundong, Imogiri, Jetis, Pleret, Piyungan,
Banguntapan, and Dlingo. Additionally, the local government plans to
build semi-permanent schools made of bamboo that can provide students
with a better learning environment.
10. According to the District Health Office in Bantul, 15 community
health centers (puskesmas) were destroyed or heavily damaged. There are
funds to rebuild ten health centers. However, assistance to
rebuild/rehabilitate other puskesmas is needed.
11. 34 community health-supporting units (pustu) were destroyed or
heavily damaged, 17 were less than 50% damaged and 16 slightly damaged.
Funds are available for the reconstruction of eight destroyed/heavily
damaged pustu located in Bambang Lipuro, Imogiri II, Jetis I, Pleret,
and Pundong. Further assistance is required for the reconstruction or
rehabilitation of the rest of the pustu.
12. The local government has decided to take the following actions to
assist the community:
- Provision of no-interest loans to farmers for purchasing fertilizer
and seeds. The total fund allocated for this assistance is IDR 7.6
billion.
- Exemption of land and building tax, of market operating fee for 29
traditional markets, of fee for building construction permit, and of fee
for certificate issuance including ID cards.
- Waiver of school registration charge and recreational activities.
- Students are not obliged to wear school uniforms during the school
terms through 2006 and 2007.
Central Java
Klaten
13. 700 permanent houses in ten sub-districts will be provided by P2KP
funded by World Bank. The government will shortly provide the exact
number of the permanent house needs in different areas of Klaten.
14. PLN (the government electricity-supply company) completed the
electricity installation to temporary houses and tents in Klaten.
Sufficient fuel stocks for the next three months in the affected areas
have been secured.
15. The Public Works Department of Central Java plans to install six
boreholes including water pump (Grunfos 500 watt with capacity 30 liters
per minute) in Gantiwarno and Prambanan districts.
Mount Merapi
16. The volcano status is still on the highest level due to its high
possibility of pyroclastic flow occurrence, as result of magmatic
activity around the summit. The sudden increased volcanic activity in
June resulted in the evacuation of 15,000 villagers. However many of
them have now returned to their homes.
17. PMI/IFRC and the local water company continue to distribute the
water for IDPs at evacuation sites and around the slopes of Merapi.
CLUSTER AND SECTOR UPDATE
Emergency Shelter
18. 167,002 tarpaulins (tarps) or tents have been have been distributed
by the humanitarian community (national and international) and GOI to
date. This equates to 139,548 households(1). GOI damage assessment
figures, revised on 26 June, increased the number of houses 'beyond
usability' by 47,000 (up to a total of 353,697). Distribution coverage
therefore now equates to 39%.
19. A further 160,427 tarpaulins are confirmed in the pipeline, plus
6,000 more tents. This means that a total of 305,975 families have been,
or will have been, supplied with at least one tent or tarpaulin under
currently funded programmes. With one tarpaulin per family meeting
minimum SPHERE standards, basic coverage is projected to reach 86.5%
when all items currently in the pipeline have been received and
distributed.

Figures in brackets are from previous SitRep
Assumptions:
1. According to GOI sources, average Family Size = 4.8. Emergency
Shelter Cluster Group data shows an average family size of 4.3 and this
figure has been used here.
2. One Family = One Household. This is a false assumption but is used
here pending clarification on the number of houses remaining empty and
number of multiple households co-habiting
3. Homeless population consists of those whose houses have been
destroyed or are heavily damaged
4. Total earthquake affected population = 2,714,999 (no change from last
week)
5. Each Tarpaulin and each Tent provide adequate emergency shelter for
one family (to Sphere minimum standards)
6. Distributions assume one tarpaulin per affected family. The largest
single contributor, IFRC, has been distributing two tarpaulins per
affected family, which is now factored in here for their reported number
of tarpaulins.
7. This figure is not confirmed and is dependent on availability of
funds. No provision is included for communal shelter (e.g. latrines,
privacy, food / possessions storage).
8. These figures reflect distribution data provided by Emergency Shelter
Cluster Group members
9. These figures do not reflect those living with host families or those
in so-called 'lightly damaged' houses.
-------
20. However, as at 6 July, 214,149 households have still not received
any form of emergency shelter assistance. Once supplies currently in the
pipeline or announced as planned (often subject to funding availability)
have been distributed, approximately 47,722 families are estimated to be
still in need of emergency shelter assistance. In other words, nearly
50,000 extra tarpaulins are still urgently required for emergency
shelter distributions. Of this unmet need, agencies plan (but do not
have funding for), a further 13,200 tarpaulins and 12,300 tents, meaning
that the final shortfall is still 22,222.
21. In addition to the costs of associated non-food items consisting of
sleeping mats, sheets, and blankets, USD 1.5 million is required to
address this urgent need
22. Humanitarian agencies are operational in 58 of the 65
earthquake-affected. One new NGO has arrived last week, with plans to
distribute a considerable number of chemical-impregnated tarpaulins.
Health:
23. No cholera cases and new tetanus cases have been registered in the
affected areas. The total number of confirmed tetanus cases is 75 (48 in
Yogyakarta, 27 in Central Java) with 28 deaths. Eight suspected cases
were reported last week in Yogyakarta Municipality, and investigations
are ongoing.
24. WHO is proposing a minimum-standard protocol with regards to the
donation of earthquake relief medical supplies. The aim of this protocol
is to provide:
- A framework to national and international NGOs bringing drugs into
affected areas in order to comply with national regulations adapted to
the emergency situation;
- A facilitated entry and distribution of drugs and equipment within the
provincial supply chain; and
- The ability for the health authorities to monitor the distribution or
disposal of these medical supplies.
25. IRD has finished its distribution of medical supplies and hygiene
kits worth USD 1,668,317. The medical supplies and kits have been
distributed to hospitals, Public Health Clinics (Puskesmas) and camps
throughout both provinces.
26. IOM has returned 4,357 people (1,885 patients and 2,472 accompanying
family members) from 14 different hospitals in Yogyakarta, Bantul and
Klaten to their home villages. IOM is currently coordinating with
Moewardi Hospital in Klaten and Senopati Hospital in Bantul to provide
medical follow-up assistance to their patients.
27. IOM is coordinating with PHO Yogyakarta and WHO to hold training of
trainers sessions in psychosocial and mental health in mid-July.
28. IOM signed a MoU with DHO Solo, which provided a list of earthquake
victims admitted and treated in hospitals in Solo, so that IOM can
identify beneficiaries to media follow-up assistance.
Water and Sanitation:
29. In Klaten good progress has been made with cleaning wells. A total
of 347 wells have now been cleaned. In addition, in a joint operation
between PU Klaten and PMI, another six pumps have cleaned 320 wells so
far. Meanwhile, provincial PU of Yogyakarta has cleaned 102 wells in
Bantul District.
30. In water trucking, the joint operation between UNICEF and PDAM is
still ongoing and the declining trend of the previous report has not
continued. The average amount of water trucked per day over the last few
days is above 260,000 litters. The total volume of water trucked through
this partnership is 9,100 m3. UNICEF has agreed to support the water
trucking operation for at least another month.
31. Responses from aid organizations include:
- Action Contre La Faim has completed the rehabilitation of 137 wells
and constructed 15 communal toilet blocks (two bath rooms and two
toilets each) and 50 individual household toilets.
- International Relief and Development, in partnership with UNICEF, will
provide water, sanitation and hygiene education activities in 100
temporary schools. So far assessments in 55 schools have been completed
to determine the required interventions.
- A preliminary result of AusAid's water and sanitation damage
assessment suggests that - despite extensive damage - on average the
functional facilities currently available, are meeting SPHERE standards.
The final report is expected next week.
- In the Hygiene Promotion working group, John Hopkins University -
working with UNICEF support - presented its findings of assessments
conducted in Klaten and Bantul, on the basis of which they will develop
hygiene promotion materials and capacity building for NGOs.
- The Spanish Red Cross have provided a total of 3,071 m3 of water from
three mobile water treatment plants by water truck to a total of 11,560
beneficiaries, including in Merapi-related IDP camps. They have also
constructed 48 toilets and 46 bathrooms.
- Oxfam/LPTP will construct a semi-permanent communal latrine in Wedi. A
total number of 139 x 2 cubicles will be constructed. The community
contributed 700,000 Rupiah/per latrine for the construction.
- Oxfam is phasing out from water trucking by the end of this week, as
in some areas there are now alternative water sources rehabilitated by
the community. The total volume of water trucked by Oxfam is 654 m3 to
about 5,300 people.
- YKY/ UNICEF has completed 85 latrine blocks (with a total of 157
toilets and 68 bathrooms/wash rooms) in Bantul and handed those
facilities over to the communities. Another 55 blocks (65 toilets and 29
bathrooms/wash rooms) are nearing completion in Klaten.
Food and Nutrition:
32. WFP food distribution has completed 84% of its plan together with
the cooperating partners. WFP focuses on addressing the most vulnerable
groups, i.e. households with pregnant women and nursing mothers,
children under five and the elderly.
33. UNICEF facilitated a training for Vitalita distribution to the NGO
partners.
34. The MP-ASI stock of UNICEF is limited, only 7,500 packages.
Education:
35. The cluster agrees that the majority of the cluster's target of 600
primary schools is now being covered with school tents.
36. An average of seven to eight tents have been installed in many of
the school sites, although quality and size varies.
37. Cluster coordination efforts indicate that approximately 200 - 260
primary schools are still in need of basic teaching and learning
materials for the new school year.
38. Yogyakarta Provincial Education Department expressed their concern
that there are a number of individual donors, private companies and NGOs
that give their donations directly to schools, without informing the
authorities. Partners are requested to avoid duplicating efforts at
schools where such cases have been identified.
39. The government had previously committed itself to provide textbooks
for all children. Distribution of textbooks is planned in October.
40. The usage of school uniforms will not be compulsory for the next two
school years.
41. Yogyakarta Provincial Education Department has suggested that
partners distribute school materials after the new term commences.
This will ensure that the intended beneficiaries receive the materials.
80,000 primary school children will receive basic learning materials.
Distribution is planned for the first two weeks of the new school
semester.
42. Gajah Mada University has started its assessment of approximately
1,000 damaged schools, supported by UNICEF.
Protection:
43. The Who-What-Where mapping exercise is ongoing. The activities of a
number of protection organizations, especially those focusing on gender
protection issues, meeting the needs of people with disabled family
members and child protection activities in Klaten, are still in the
process of being compiled for input into the mapping.
44. According to the evolving information from the Who-What-Where
mapping, there are eleven Klaten, four Gunung Kidul, three Bantul, two
Kulon Progo, and one Sleman sub-districts with no or very minimal
coverage. A one-day Protection Strategic Planning and Coordination
workshop will be organized to bring together the stakeholders, including
those who do not attend the regular cluster meetings, to take strategic
decisions on programming issues, using the Who-What-Where mapping.
45. The Child Protection Working Group identified that to date a total
of 120 safe spaces for children, with 55 in Bantul and 57 in Klaten,
have been established by international and national NGOs. Following the
first meeting of the Klaten Child Protection WG, efforts are now
underway to ensure a more comprehensive mapping of child protection
activities being undertaken in Klaten, where the current mapping has
demonstrated large gaps in coverage.
46. The Psychosocial/Mental Health Working Group reports 144 mental
health referral cases (65 male and 79 female) have been identified since
the earthquake, with 42 new cases directly resulting from the disaster,
and 102 cases of relapse as a result of stress from the earthquake.
Early Recovery
47. Transitional shelter is becoming an urgent issue with the rainy
season on the horizon. Some tents are already starting to deteriorate.
The Transitional Shelter WG is working closely with Gajah Mada
University and the Emergency Shelter Cluster on how to support and
facilitate the construction of Rumah Cikal(2) - more than a tent but
less than a house, and that meets or exceeds SPHERE Standards.
48. The Guideline on Reconstruction and Rehabilitation published by the
provincial governments of Central Java and Yogyakarta will be circulated
among the WG members so that international organizations have a common
understanding and reference in conducting reconstruction and
rehabilitation activities.
49. District government invited the local and international NGOs to
submit proposals on small scale and home based industry rehabilitation.
Local NGOs and universities have prepared eleven proposals.
International NGOs are still focusing on emergency activities, rather
than on such areas.
AGRICULTURE
50. A working group meeting was held on Monday 2 July at the Provincial
Agriculture Office in Yogyakarta to develop the format for a database
for the agriculture sector group. This format was discussed and accepted
by the group at the regular weekly meeting on 5 July. Submission of
information into the database by individual organizations has begun, and
all group members are expected to bring this information to the next
sector meeting, when the format for the database will also be reviewed
and suggestions made for revision.
51. A working group meeting on the assessment of damage to agriculture
cluster by the hot gases, ash and lava from Mt. Merapi, was held on 1
July at the Agriculture Faculty at the University of Gajah Mada in
Yogyakarta. This meeting focused on questions for an assessment of
individual households. A follow-up meeting will be held on Saturday 8
July to develop the questions for the Focus Group Discussions. It is
hoped that the assessment methodology and questionnaires will be
finished and approved by 15 July.
LOGISTICS
52. The regular procedure for customs clearance through Jakarta has
resumed.
53. IOM's vehicle fleet currently consists of 102 trucks and 33 minivans
operating at full capacity. Reduction of the fleet of trucks (from 98 to
86) and of light vehicles (from 57 to 33) has been proposed. IOM has
delivered 10,071 tons of food and non-food items for a total of 44
organizations, including the government, UN agencies and international
and local NGOs.
54. Atlas Logistique will resume activities on Monday 3 July for a
five-month period, focusing the support to local NGOs, as the necessary
funds have now been secured.
55. Atlas Logistique will continue to operate a 400m2 warehouse suitable
for the storage of medicine; however, as of 4 July, it is fully
occupied.
COORDINATION & SECURITY
56. The next education coordination meeting, facilitated by UNICEF in
Yogyakarta will be at 9am, Wednesday, 12 July.
57. The next working agriculture sector meeting will be held on Monday
10 July at 11:00 am at the Provincial Agriculture Office in Yogyakarta.

Footnotes
(1) Some agencies were distributing two tarps per family, though this
has now been reduced to one in conformity with Emergency Shelter
Coordination group guidelines. This number is reduced from last week's
figure to try and take account of this factor.
(2) Literally, "seed housing".
