awareness of the dangers of using pesticides
that are not good for the environment or
public health431. This program is based on

Mitigation: Risk and Vulnerability Reduction
Indonesia's geographical position on the equator and as an archipelagic country raises its risk
for various types of hydrometeorological disasters, such as floods, droughts, extreme weather,
abrasion, and forest fires. In addition, the position of the Indonesian region in the "ring of fire,"
withmany active volcanoes, also raises the potential of volcanic eruptions. Therefore, Indonesia
has a National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) to cope with emergency conditions that
arise from natural disasters. One of the countermeasures carried out by BNPB is the
management of logistical assistance during an emergency.
