Indonesia is developing a continuous, uninterrumpted warning system for natural disasters by building a duplicated command centre in Jakarta and Bali regions and installing by 2027, 17 new marine radars also in North Sumatra, Central Kalimantan and Riau to monitor earthquakes, storms, tsunamis, volcanic activities, extreme weather, dangerous waves and rains that threaten both boats, coastal centres and tourist resorts.
The new system, which aims for greater speed and reliability, is being developed to ensure that the warning network remains active even if one command centre fails and will integrate data into a single national platform monitoring.
This is an enhancement of the existing Indonesia Tsunami Early Warning System (InaTEWS) which has been upgraded since the 2004 tsunami.
During the hearings in parliament, the Director of the Indonesian Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) Teuku Faisal Fathani, shared this information with Antara News, stating that the aim of this massive modernisation is to ensure the continuous operations of the early warning network and improve the speed of data transmission on extreme weather events and natural disasters.
The official added that thanks to the system with two control centres, the entire network will remain operational even if a failure occurs in one of the regions, and that the maritime radar is essential to monitor in an efficient way, heavy rains, strong winds and high waves that pose a threat to navigation and tourism.
According to the director, the accuracy of the BMKG’s meterological and geophysical information has already exceeded the planned national targets reaching 102.9%, while the level of public satisfaction with the agency’s services in the third quarter of 2025 was 99.73%.
