This process aims to identify the most urgent needs of those affected. "In times of disaster, human safety is paramount.

The initial distribution has begun in Manggarai, Nusa Tenggara Timur, with plans to expand the reach. Kindaris emphasized the importance of "being present when someone is in need" and ensuring PNM's aid reaches those who truly require it. Beyond immediate relief, PNM plans to support the recovery of families and ultra-micro businesses once safety and basic needs are met.
