Furthermore, the mapping refers to the disaster risk assessment (KRB). This data serves as the basis for determining the type of threat, vulnerable locations, and necessary mitigation measures.
"From this study, we can identify which disasters frequently occur and where the vulnerable points are. This way, mitigation can be prepared more precisely," he explained. (Endah/ IST )
