East Java drought crisis and emergency response

Overview

The water crisis in East Java has escalated from legislative calls for long-term infrastructure to a widespread emergency. Initially, members of the East Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) criticized reactive measures, such as water tank distribution, and urged the government to implement permanent solutions to combat drought impacts caused by El Nino.

Following these warnings, twenty-two regencies and cities in the province have declared drought emergency or alert statuses. The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reported that the drought potential could affect approximately 1.58 million people across 29 regencies. While most areas remain under alert, Mojokerto, Lumajang, and Situbondo have transitioned to emergency response status. Current mitigation efforts involve the distribution of clean water via thousands of shipments and the provision of logistical supplies like water tanks and tarpaulins to support residents and agricultural irrigation.
