Project Location: Aceh
Activity Type: Public awareness campaign
Sector: Disaster Prevention and Management
Project Rationale:
Cadek is located in the coastal area of Aceh Besar and was affected by the tsunami of 2004. There is no vertical evacuation facility that has been built in this area. Tsunami mitigation in this area relies on tsunami evacuation routes. However, most people in the targeted area seem unfamiliar with the network of evacuation, given the fact that the number of newcomers living in this area has increased.
Two years ago, the area was set as a residential area. The communities living there are mostly newcomers. It is important to introduce the existing evacuation network to the existing community in this area to increase the capacity of the community to mitigate the tsunami hazard.
Project Beneficiaries:
Community in Mukim Klieng and Mum Silang
Priority Development Area:
Human development for a productive and healthy society
