Aceh study center to boost disaster literacy: National Library

In the National Library, there are many manuscripts that explain about disasters

Jakarta The National Library (Perpusnas) said it is providing support to the National Archives of Indonesia (ANRI), which has built a Disaster Archive Study Center in Aceh.

“This study center aims to provide educational facilities to the community related to disaster literacy. Its presence will encourage many parties to prepare references and knowledge related to disasters,” Perpusnas Head Muhammad Syarif Bando said in a written statement received here on Saturday.

The archive center has been opened as part of efforts to educate the public about potential disasters, which can serve as a global lesson, he added.

“In the National Library, there are many manuscripts that explain about disasters,” he informed.

However, he emphasized, the most important thing is how the public can learn about the signs of impending natural disasters.
