Biak Numfor Regency, Papua is prepared to become a social food barn in the Saereri Bay customary area to store food ingredients needed by the community when a disaster occurs in the area.
"If Biak is included as a social granary area, we Biak Regency Government Numfor will support the program of the Ministry of Social Affairs," said Biak Regent Herry Ario Naap in Biak, Monday.
He admitted that the geographical location of Biak Numfor Regency is very strategic in the middle of the Saereri area, covering Supiori, Nabire, Waropen and Yapen Islands regencies to Manokwari Regency, West Papua.
Regent Herry said the existence of social granaries in disaster-prone areas is very important to maintain the availability of food, especially when a disaster occurs.
He hoped that the existence of social granaries in certain areas would prove that the state was present to help and serve the people affected by natural disasters.
"We judge that the social granary program is very good for maintaining the food needs of the community in the event of a natural disaster," he said.
In 2022, the Ministry of Social Affairs will intensify the formation of regencies/cities as social granaries to ensure that the food needs of the community are met when natural disasters occur in certain areas.
