Posted 2nd May 2023
The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has readied all its resources in order to ensure the success of the 42nd ASEAN Summit in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), on May 9-11, 2023.
"After the G20 Summit, Moto GP Mandalika, and F1 Powerboat, BMKG will also participate for the success of the 42nd ASEAN Summit. We continue our preparation to help the event run well and smoothly," Head of BMKG Dwikorita Karnawati said in Jakarta on Sunday.
Karnawati revealed the agency's plans to ensure the success of the summit by continuously updating weather, climate, and earthquake information at all event locations.
To support this effort, the BMKG will place several tools to monitor and detect early potential earthquakes and tsunamis as well as early warning systems for potential forest and land fires, extreme weather, extreme waves, and potential tsunamis throughout the ASEAN Summit region, she said.
