2018 has been Indonesia’s deadliest year in a decade. Over 4,000 people died or were declared missing during the over 2,000 natural disasters across the archipelago. The earthquakes which hit the islands of Lombok and Sulawesi, in August and September respectively, have been the deadliest disasters. Over 2,000 people died and hundreds of thousands were displaced. On both occasions, TSF was among the first NGOs to arrive to the affected areas to support the local population and the rescue operations through satellite communication means. Rihanna, 26 years old. Teacher in a primary school . Victim of Sulawesi Earthquake - Sept. 2018 Thanks to the mobile connexion that TSF set up in this village she was able to contact her colleagues on Whatsapp to know if they were safe, if her school was damaged and when it will reopen. “ The electricity was off due to the earthquake. The whole city was dark. A lot of buildings were destroyed. The people were running and shouting in the street in panic. Parents were looking for their children; children for their parents. It was terrible. “ TSF Annual Report 2018 / 14
Lombok & Sulawesi Earthquakes General Information Context: Earthquake Start date: 28/09/2018 End date: 19/10/2018 Areas of intervention: Sulawesi Island Activities: • Support to coordination • Humanitarian calling operations • Ambulant Wi-Fi Key figures 1 Internet centre for humanitarian coordination 10+ organisations supported 480+ beneficiaries 100 GB of data exchanged for humanitarian coordination 7 Communities connected Lombok With its long-standing local partner, the NGO Airputih, mobile calling operations were conducted in the most remote villages. In the absence of internet, alternatives such as Facebook or WhatsApp could not be used and despite a partial recovery of mobile networks, it remained difficult to call abroad because of the high blow of communications. Hence, the few calls made abroad were essential for local people to report on the community needs and to seek financial assistance. General Information Context: Earthquake Start date: 06/08/2018 End date: 19/09/2018 Areas of intervention: • Lombok Island • Gangga Sub-disctrict Activities: • Telecoms assessment • Humanitarian calling operations • Connectivity for medical coordination Key figures 3 villages covered 15 000 beneficiaries 1 medical NGO supported TSF teams also provided the necessary materials for high-speed Internet access and trained Airputih teams to deploy it in a medical centre and coordination point set up by the NGO KUN Humanity System. Hence, the center was able to benefit from a reliable connection for its medical coordination activities. The medical team carried out itinerant operations in the Gangga sub-district area. This area is inhabited by more than 14,500 people and is relatively extensive, forested and difficult to access. Because of its isolation, this first care evaluation was necessary before any referral to a hospital. TSF’s connection allowed the clinic to transmit its reports to the Ministry of Health and an essential consolidation of data at the island level. Sulawesi TSF was solicited by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to reinforce the support of their emergency response and evaluation teams (ERAT) to the Indonesian National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) and local authorities. As soon as they arrived in Palu, TSF engineers installed an Internet connection for the ERAT humanitarian coordination centre which facilitated the work of humanitarian actors who were able to send their reports and transmit information on humanitarian needs. This connection was also important for the logistics organisation from Jakarta and Makassar. In parallel, TSF teams carried out mobile humanitarian calling operations and provided temporary internet access in isolated communities in the south and north of Palu. These operations enabled the affected population to contact their relatives, connect to their social networks, instant messaging platforms and communicate via voice or video.
