Situation Overview
Almost 2 months after the last series of above 6 Richter Scale earthquake hit the Island of Lombok and Sumbawa, people whose houses were damaged or who were alert with the impact of earthquake still live collectively in several displacement sites identified in 1st round of DTM site assessment. For people whose land already cleared from rubble and debris, they have started building and living in their own shelter regardless of whether or not they received any support from government, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), private sectors, NGOs, religious entity. Unfortunately, there has been no comprehensive record on the number of IDPs living in displacement sites and their mobility when they were no longer stays in their displacement sites as what has been outlined in the result of the 1st round of DTM site assessment. This condition led the coordinator of Displacement and Protection cluster, in collaboration with local universities in Lombok and Sumbawa, decided to roll out the 2nd round of DTM site assessment in Lombok and Sumbawa with technical support of IOM Indonesia.
Based on the finding, the number of displacement sites assessed in the 1st round have decreased from 2,700 to 989 (1,691 sites were closed and 21 sites were still used but the number of IDPs living in that sites was less than 16 people and 4 person) but 66 sites apart from aforementioned numbers were established after 16 September 2018 and were not assessed in the 1st round. The number of population displaced also decreased from 432,015 to 124,144 people with various reasons of return.
The type of the displacement sites were dominated by spontaneous sites (802 sites) without proper planning to be utilized and became place of displacement with 90,367 people. 792 sites were majority layouted by tarpauline tents and there were no single sites reported to have no food stock/support in this reporting periods.
