Bali Police's Disaster Management Center Cooks Up Trouble as Funding Lacks
The Bali Police's Disaster Management Center, responsible for preparing and responding to various disaster scenarios, has been suspended indefinitely due to the lack of allocated funds.
According to sources within the police, the center had planned to conduct a series of drills and exercises to prepare for potential disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. However, with no budget in place, the initiatives have been put on hold.
"It's unacceptable that we're being asked to function without a clear financial plan," said an officer at the disaster management center. "We need funding to ensure our readiness and response capabilities are up to par."
The Bali Police has faced criticism for its handling of disaster preparedness in recent years, with some accusing the force of being unprepared for natural disasters.
This latest development has raised concerns about the police's ability to respond effectively to emergencies on the island. As one local resident noted, "We need a robust disaster management system that can prepare us for the worst. The suspension of the center's activities is a wake-up call we cannot afford to ignore."
