STORIES FROM THE GROUND


Behind every data point on PetaBencana.id is a real story—a family finding safety before floodwaters rise, a volunteer coordinating aid more effectively, a first responder reaching those in need faster.  These actions don’t just help in the moment—they create ripple effects.  Teachers report a significant decrease in school absences during extreme weather, as students and families can better prepare and respond to disasters. During the forest fires in Kalimantan, mothers expressed how the platform gave them a tangible way to protect their families, strengthening their role as women leaders in community resilience. Emergency managers highlight how PetaBencana.id has sped up evacuations and aid delivery, ensuring that help reaches those in need faster.
