Blue tents stand in orderly rows on Monday (12/11/2018) at an emergency shelter near Gawalise Stadium in Duyu subdistrict, Tatanga district, Palu, Central Sulawesi. The emergency shelter accommodates the residents of Duyu and Balaroa subdistricts whose houses were destroyed in the Sept. 28 earthquake and ensuing liquefaction. It is one of the 301 emergency shelters accommodating 125,579 residents from Palu, Sigi and Donggala.
The Palu earthquake measuring 7.4-magnitude on Sept. 28, 2018, has left behind much work to do for the government. The future of 14,000 families now living in temporary shelters remains uncertain.Vice President Jusuf Kalla decided that the 14,000 families were to be moved to temporary homes by the end of December this year at the latest. The government has also proposed several disaster-affected areas in Central Sulawesi be declared as “red zones” that must not be resettled.
As this daily reported on Monday, Nov. 12, 2018, several proposed red zones include Tolo, Talise and Petobo in Palu; Pombebe in Sigi regency; and Loli and Pantai Barat in Donggala regency. The local government and the regional representatives council (DPRD) will make a regional regulation (perda) for such spatial planning.
