Mentawai Island tsunami

the President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has instructed regional administrations to relocate people living in disaster-prone areas, after several natural calamities hit Indonesia this month.

Speaking in a press conference during his visit to the tsunami-hit Mentawai Islands in West Sumatra, Yudhoyono said learning from the tsunami that struck on Monday, as well as the flash flood in Wasior, West Papua, earlier this month, it would be reasonable to tell local administrations to find better settlement locations for some residents.
