the past few weeks triggering ash columns and ashfall on villages around the volcano Data from the Semeru observation post in Lumajang showed that the volcano had erupted three times between midnight and 3 am on Feb 7 The mountain spewed thick grayish ash columns between 500 and 700 meters above the summit Semeru observation post official Mukdas Sofian said the volcano erupted 55 times on Feb 8 we could not observe all of the ash columns because the mountain's summit was obscured by fog," said Mukdas Mukdas cautioned the public to stay clear of areas within 500 meters of the Besuk Kobokan River because of the potential for pyroclastic clouds and lahar that could extend up to 13 kilometers from the summit residents are prohibited from engaging in any activities within an 8 km radius of the summit because of the risk of falling rocks residents have been warned to be on alert for potential pyroclastic clouds a violent type of debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material along the Besuk Kembar and Besuk Sat rivers and their tributaries Authorities have maintained Mount Semeru's status at Level II advisory on the four-tier volcano alert system have experienced moderate to heavy ashfall in recent days prompting authorities to advise residents to wear masks and goggles when venturing outdoors an official at Semeru's Curah Kobokan observation post said the ashfall was triggered by strong winds at the summit which carried volcanic material from the volcano's daily eruptions that had accumulated on the mountain slopes "These strong winds have also made it challenging for us to observe Semeru's ash columns," he said Head of the Lumajang Disaster Mitigation Agency said the eruptions that occurred on Semeru in the past few days were still considered normal volcanic activities we urge residents living at the foot of the mountain to stay away from rivers due to the significant risk of lahar flows especially given the ongoing bad weather," he said Semeru has been showing heightened volcanic activity since November The 3,676-meter volcano erupted 475 times in January alone The volcano experienced two massive eruptions in the past few years including an eruption in December 2021 that killed 51 people and forced nearly 10,000 others to flee their homes authorities were forced to evacuate 2,000 residents living around the mountain after it spewed a cloud of ash 15 km into the sky Authorities recently announced that the volcano would be off limits to the public until further notice citing safety concerns due to increased volcanic activity and the ongoing adverse weather conditions in the area sending ash into the skies over Lumajang Regency A column of volcanic ash was thrown approximately 1 km (0.62 miles) high according to the Geological Agency of

tributaries of Besuk Kobokan Mount Semeru Erupts on Eid al-Fitr Morning Najla Nur Fauziyah Petir Garda Bhwana TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Mount Semeru in East Java erupted again in the early hours of Monday launching incandescent lava into Besuk Kobokan River in the southeast in Supit Urang Village The Semeru Volcano Observation Post on Mount Sawur recorded 28 instances of lava flows over six hours with heights ranging from 1 to 2.4 kilometers.  "Hot clouds and lava avalanches are still occurring but they are rarely observed visually due to foggy weather," said the Head of the Geological Agency Wafid said the eruption also resulted in cold lava as rainfall intensity was still high at Mount Semeru Surrounding residents are asked to stay vigilant of deposits of lava materials and hot clouds along the rivers with headwater from the peaks of Mount Semeru.  "The interaction between high-temperature material deposits and river water has the potential to cause secondary eruptions," he said Mount Semeru's volcanic activity is still intense The number of recorded volcanic shocks shows that seismic activity on Mount Semeru is still high Deep volcanic and harmonic quakes indicate the accumulation of materials beneath the surface of Mount Semeru.  Previous results of deformation monitoring with Tiltmeter and GPS equipment showed no increase in pressure at Mount Semeru "This indicates an increase in pressure on the body of the volcano," said Wafid The Geological Agency still determined Mount Semeru’s volcanic activity at alert Level III The Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation (PVMBG) asked locals and visitors to steer clear from the southeast sector of the mountain especially the area under 13 kilometers from the top of the crater The public is also asked to avoid doing activities 500 meters from the banks of the Besuk Kobokan River due to the risk of hot clouds and lava expansion up to 17 kilometers from the peak.  Editor’s Choice: Cilacap

responded to multiple emergencies in 2021 namely Ile Lewolotok volcano eruption and tropical cyclone response in Lembata (East Nusa Tenggara/NTT province) earthquake in Mamuju (West Sulawesi province) Semeru eruption in Lumajang (East Java province) Plan Indonesia has been working closely with subnational Community Engagement and Accountability Working Groups (CEA-WGs) This case study aims to provide an analysis of the implementation of the three pillars of CEA in the recent three emergencies in Lembata and Lumajang to which Plan Indonesia had responded The experience and lessons learned are expected to positively contribute to improvement in accountability and effectiveness of future humanitarian response in Indonesia The first case study in Lembata showed how resources were allocated specifically for promoting CEA and initiating feedback mechanisms in an emergency to the long-term social accountability through the call centre 112 Learning from earlier responses to volcano eruption Plan Indonesia dedicated resources (budget and human resources) to set up initiation process through multi-stakeholder engagement CEA workshop and training Communication channels were made available and various IEC materials were developed for wider outreach Sharing feedback analysis with other humanitarian actors was aimed to influence collective commitment for improved assistance Some invaluable feedback including the preference of family kit over distributed construction toolkit dignity kits for adolescent boys (not only girls) and feedback for priority needs and eligible families for the CVA program The second case study highlighted the establishment of CEA-WG in Mamuju through technical facilitation to strengthen the local leadership Plan Indonesia supported a deployable technical consultant who assist to convene and facilitate coordinated meetings before definitive leadership was in place Supported by Plan Indonesia’s partner the establishment of Displacement and Protection Cluster and CEA-WG were fruitfully facilitated including pilot implementation of feedback mechanisms in 3 villages political dynamics and coordination challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic the pilot provided key lessons on what communication mechanisms worked better with the rural community whose connectivity and ICT infrastructure are limited The third case study emphasised the integration of the existing social accountability platform Plan Indonesia team supported the response lead with a summary report in the cluster meetings as an entry point for discussing the needs of CEA Technical training for Community Information Group (KIM) was agreed to be a strategic step to leverage the public information outreach and proactively collect feedback from the community Since the platform was designed for general feedback to public services the platform is not suited for handling sensitive issues/reports especially because of its requirement for personal identification the lack of integration with the nongovernmental feedback mechanisms and accessibility issues (web-based platform) the platform offers the potential for a scalable model for promoting commitment to nexus it is concluded that effective CEA requires the right mindset and commitment the presence of COVID-19 has stretched local resources and capacity to respond to feedback in regards to requests for assistance some key recommendations include investment in evidence-based advocacy messages and inclusive engagement increasing wider visibility of CEA-WG and maintaining its regular engagement improving cross-cutting issues understanding in CEA addressing capacity gaps of humanitarian organisations at the subnational level and setting up coordinated and accountable responses to coping with multiple emergencies 2021 the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) Surabaya held a socialization of Business Mentoring for the Social Entrepreneurship Program (ProKUS) in
