  • Indonesia’s police held a readiness assembly in West Java ahead of the 2026 Aman Nusa I and II operations.
  • Deputy Police Chief Dedi Prasetyo said the forces must prepare for prevention, emergency response and post-disaster recovery.
  • Police will prepare personnel and equipment for evacuations, searches, site security, field kitchens, medical support, logistics and assistance to vulnerable groups.

Indonesia’s police have begun preparations for Aman Nusa I and Aman Nusa II, operations designed to respond to threats to public order and natural disasters across the country.

Deputy Police Chief Dedi Prasetyo led the readiness assembly in Cikeas, West Java, on Monday, representing the national police chief. He stressed that preparedness must cover every stage, from prevention and emergency response to recovery after a disaster.

Indonesia is a country with a very high level of disaster vulnerability because of its complex geological, geographical and climatic conditions. Indonesia also lies in a region with a high risk of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

· Dedi PrasetyoThe deputy police chief explained why national disaster preparedness must remain high.

Dedi cited data from Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency showing 1,730 natural disasters since January 2026. Floods, extreme weather, landslides and forest and land fires accounted for most of the incidents. The disasters have killed 397 people and forced more than 4 million residents to evacuate.

In this context, the National Police must always be present as one of the forces of the state ready to provide a rapid response through services and humanitarian assistance to communities affected by disasters through Operation Aman Nusa II.

· Dedi PrasetyoHe described the police role in disaster response under Aman Nusa II.

He also pointed to heightened volcanic activity in several parts of Indonesia, particularly the eruption of Anak Krakatau in the Sunda Strait. “Indonesia is a country with a very high level of disaster vulnerability because of its complex geological, geographical and climatic conditions,” Dedi said. “Indonesia also lies in a region with a high risk of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.”

Under Aman Nusa II, police are preparing personnel and equipment for evacuations, search and rescue, securing disaster sites, traffic management and evacuation routes. They will also establish field kitchens and hospitals, provide clean water and logistics, and offer health, psychosocial and trauma-recovery services, especially for children and other vulnerable groups. Aman Nusa I will address public-order dynamics both on the ground and in digital spaces. Dedi said the operations must coordinate with the military, disaster agencies, government institutions, local authorities, volunteers and the wider public.

The expression of opinions in public is a constitutional right of the people that we must respect and protect.

· Dedi PrasetyoHe addressed the public-order responsibilities covered by Aman Nusa I.
