According to data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), from the beginning of the year until November 1, 2022, there have been 3,045 natural disaster events throughout Indonesia.

The most frequent disasters during this period were floods (1,253 events), extreme weather (931 events), landslides (564 events), and forest/land fires (249 events).

Meanwhile, there were 22 earthquake events, 22 high tide/abrasion events, and 4 drought events.

From the beginning of the year until November 1, 2022, the most natural disasters occurred on Java Island, specifically in West Java, Central Java, and East Java provinces, with the number of events detailed in the graph.

Meanwhile, the fewest natural disasters occurred in Jambi and Papua provinces, with 8 events each during the same period.

The Director of Disaster Risk Mapping and Evaluation at BNPB, Dr. Ir. Udrekh, stated that more than 100 regions still lack disaster-prone area maps.

The Secretary of the Directorate General of Regional Development at the Ministry of Home Affairs, Sri Purwaningsih, also stated that obstacles in disaster management in regions frequently occur, one of which is due to a lack of understanding of regional government authority.

"Strengthening is needed for regional governments, especially for BPBDs, in the implementation of their duties in tangible steps," said Sri Purwaningsih, as reported on the official BNPB website on Wednesday (November 2, 2022).
