Morning report of Team GKI Jogja
1) Last night’s eruption made everyone panic, 2 cm of dust covered everything, the road is no longer visible, GKI’s command post 1 had to be relocated due to the enormous amount dust and sand covering the building, trees fell, and cars broke down.
2) Therefore, this morning we changed the plan: coordinating with Satkorlak, all volunteers are prohibited to use motorcycles due to danger, volunteers have to wear goggles and masks. This was a chaotic morning.
3) The primary mission in the morning is still aiding the children who are stressed due to the closure of schools.
4) Evicting several congregation members near Merapi. (Paulus lie)
