Indonesia will have an international-class
disaster emergency training center by 2013 that will be built in Sentul area of
West Java province, an official told reporters here on Tuesday.
Wisnu
Widjaja, head of Education and Training Center of Disaster Mitigation at the
National Agency of Disaster Management (BNPB), said that the United Nations
will provide teaching and training modules.
"Our
president said that the training should be an international-class one,"
said Widjaja.
He
added that the facilities are expected to become an international training
center that could be used by foreign officials.
"Look,
you want to see remains of earthquake or volcano eruption, we have them. These
could be some kind of disaster laboratory," said Widjaja.
He said
that UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon on March 20 is scheduled to visit a 4
hectare-land where the training center will be located.
According
to Widjaja, his office keeps coordinating with foreign agencies such as Germany
and Japan, and especially the UN.
