THE DAMAGED
Roads by
the earthquake and liquefaction disaster in Sigi, Central Sulawesi Province
that occurred on 28 September 2018, is now being repaired by the government.
The results of monitoring between Thursday, the road in Jono Oge Village, Sigi
Biromaru sub-district in the past few days was repaired by Sigi Government.
Seen, there are a number of heavy equipment deployed for smooth road works.

The road body starts to be piled up again so that the flow of vehicles
passing must be extra careful. In the village, said Eni, a local health cadre
worker, the road was in addition to being split, also down to two meters so
that it needed a lot of material to redistribute.

Jono Oge village, he said, was the worst village in Sigi affected by
the earthquake and liquefaction. According to him, 100 percent of the
residents’ buildings in the village were totally damaged and had to be rebuilt.

In the meantime, many residents still live in emergency tents while
waiting for the construction of temporary shelters to be built.

While the Assistant II of the Regional Secretary of Sigi, Iskandar
Nontji, said that all the infrastructure damaged by natural disasters in the
area would be repaired again.

However, because of the limited budget, it is certainly done in stages
and priorities. The intended infrastructures are roads and bridges, electricity
and telecommunications and irrigation. Especially the electrical infrastructure
has been repaired by PLN. All areas affected by the electricity disaster are
normal.

At present, Sigi Government is aggressively improving the damaged road
infrastructure to encourage the economic growth of the people who have been
affected by natural disasters. Likewise, education, health and houses of
worship will certainly be built or rehabilitated. But for liquefaction
locations, the settlements and other buildings will no longer be possible,
“said the former Head of the Sigi of Public Works Office. He admitted that
the community’s economy gradually began to rise again.**
