ITS sends assessment team, PPA delivers 2 tons of aid to NTT
ITS is preparing a second phase in five regencies, while PPA will send logistics in two stages on 19 and 22 August.
Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember sent two teams to Nusa Tenggara Timur to handle the post-earthquake response, consisting of a humanitarian aid distribution team and a team to assess damaged buildings and infrastructure. ITS Rector Bambang Pramujati said the assessment is needed to sort buildings that are still safe to use from those that require further handling. In the initial phase, four trucks of logistics were dispatched and distribution expanded from a target of six to nine points in Manggarai, Manggarai Timur, and other areas in Flores. ITS is also preparing a second phase focused on Manggarai Barat, Manggarai Timur, Ende, Nagekeo, and Sikka. Separately, PT Perusahaan Pengelola Aset and BNPB distributed 2 tons of aid in two stages through Lanud Halim Perdanakusuma and in collaboration with Ikatek Unhas.
