At the site of a landslide, 36-year-old Acang was holding onto his hoe. He was taking a break after working with volunteers all day long to find two relatives and a friend who had gone missing in the landslide.

The tsunami made Arif Munandar realize that he needs to be well prepared for disasters. Now, he wants to spend the rest of his life being a volunteer to help people during disasters.

Volunteers from several SAR organizations have been involved in the search for Lion Air flight JT-610, which crashed off the coast of Karawang on Monday. They have combed the sea surface and seabed, and even the skies, making sure not to neglect their own safety during the recovery operation.

Some have taken a two-week leave from work; some have brought their families with them. However, they are not on a holiday. They are the volunteers of the 2018 Asian Games.
