The Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) has launched an "outreach" initiative to ensure that victims of the recent earthquake in East Nusa Tenggara do not lose their vital civil registration documents. This proactive measure is crucial for individuals who may have lost everything in the disaster.
The program aims to prevent a secondary crisis for the affected population. Without proper identification, victims could face significant hurdles in accessing government aid, social assistance, and other essential services. Dukcapil's efforts are designed to provide a lifeline, ensuring that these essential documents are replaced or secured, thereby facilitating the recovery process.
By bringing its services directly to the affected communities, Dukcapil is demonstrating a commitment to supporting the resilient population of East Nusa Tenggara. This initiative underscores the importance of civil documentation in times of crisis and highlights the government's role in ensuring that citizens can rebuild their lives with their identities intact.
