The
Crisis Center is tasked to collect all relevant information and data
related to the imminent eruption of Mt. Agung located in East to North
east Bali, and publish releases at least once daily on updated
situation. Up to the minute information is to be gathered from the
authorities that include PVMBG (the Volcanological Agency), BNPB
(Indonesia National Board for Disaster Management), the Bali Police,
the Transport Ministry Office, the Airport Authorities, and the
tourist industry associations besides the Bali Tourism Institute at
Nusa Dua.
Please note:
Until today, Monday, 2 October 2017, the Warning level of Mt. Agung
has remained at its highest at level 4 (Awas-Danger) raised since
Friday 22 September. But, although volcanologists continue to warn
that an eruption is imminent, NO ERUPTION has (thankfully) taken
place so far. Nonetheless, the Warning is still On and all, including
tourists are warned to stay away from the 12 km red zone around the
crater, that includes Pura Besakih temple which is closed to
tourists. This is to avoid casualties should a pyroclastic hot cloud
suddenly thunder down the slopes at breakneck speed.
Should an eruption
occur, the authorities have already set up 6 loud sirens to warn
everyone to immediately vacate the designated danger zone. The air
navigation authorities have also confirmed that as soon as an eruption
occurs, all planes around the aerial navigation zone should avoid the
areas and will be diverted to a different route. Planes planning to
land in Bali will be diverted to 10 alternative airports around Bali
on other islands, depending on the direction of the wind.
Aside
from the area Mt. Agung located at Bali’s east to north east, all
other parts of the island of Bali, such as Nusa Dua, Denpasar, Ubud,
Sanur, Kuta, Seminyak and other popular resorts which are located far
from Mount Agung, continue to be safe for tourists and all
activities continue as usual.

related to a possible eruption of Mt. Agung will be published by
