PALU, KOMPAS — The Palu Legislative Council (DPRD) in Palu, Central Sulawesi, will meet with the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), disaster experts, and related parties to hear their views on the disaster hazard zone (ZRB) map in Palu and surrounding areas as input for a discussion on revising the regional spatial plan (RTRW).

Palu DPRD councilor Mutmainah Korona said the BMKG, disaster experts, and related parties were being invited to the meeting so the Palu DPRD would have the right information for developing a detailed and accurate disaster management plan. "We will not rush the discussion on revising the RTRW and the detailed spatial plan (RDTR)," he said in Palu on Tuesday (1/28/2020).
