Merapi Monitoring System

The flow of government

Information

Structural information flow within government

works well, but the information to the public

sometimes late.

Required a system that cut the flow

of informaton governance structures

in order to quicklyget information to the public for

preparedness.

• Higest curiosity of the public toward the information of

Merapi activity

• Public need access to information quickly and accurately

• Appears many communities and volunteers around

Merapi for sharing informating

• Many social media accounts to inform Merapi activity

• News issues concerning the activity of Merapi become a

sexy topic for mainstreaming media

read and share, news

information and content.
