Education Cluster agencies are developing contingency plans for providing education services to potentially affected children in the event of either expansion to 5 km for the radiological accident evacuation zone or evacuation of volcano danger zones. Cluster agencies anticipate having the plan completed by 26 April 2017. Cluster agencies report that most displaced children in metropolitan areas have access to educational services and supplies. Agencies are continuing their assessments for access to education for disaster affected children in more remote, rural areas, which continue to remain underserviced. Gaps & Constraints: Educational services and supplies for disaster-affected children in more remote locations. Lack of reserve stocks of educational supplies and temporary schoolhouse locations in the event of increasing the area of the radiological accident evacuation zone and / or issuance of a volcanic eruption evacuation OCHA brings together people, tools and experience to save live

. Health Cluster members report that potable water and sanitation facilities are available to most disaster-affected persons in larger, urban areas. Still problematic are small clusters of displaced persons in urban areas and affected persons in rural locations. The number of cases of water borne illness appear to have plateaued. PDAM officials and Infrastructure and Facilities Cluster members are continuing repair of water and sewerage lines in urban areas. Ministry of Health officials report that no hospitals or clinics have reported any cases of radiation sickness. Gaps & Constraints: Medical supplies for the treatment of water-borne illnesses. Return of regular municipal water and sewerage services in urban areas. Potential shortage of health care facilities in the event of either expansion of the radiological accident evacuation zone or implementation of a volcanic eruption evacuation. OCHA brings together people, tools and experience to save liv

Logistics and Equipment Cluster members continue their discussions on mapping alternative ground transportation routes from Adisumarmo International Airport in the event of a possible closure of Adisutjipto International Airport secondary to either (A) a possible increase to 3 km (mandatory) and 5 km (voluntary) of the radiological zone and / or (B) a volcanic eruption. Many of the highways and major roadways that would otherwise be used to transport relief supplies from Adisumarmo Airport to affected areas to the west and south of Yogyakarta City may become unusable as they lie within the possible expanded radiological evacuation zones or volcano danger zones. Assessments and mapping continue. Cluster members continue to report that some commercial trucking companies are still refusing to send their vehicles to destinations in or near the 2 km mandatory radiological evacuation zone. Cluster officials report that this loss of commercial transportation assets has had an adverse impact on the ability to deliver adequate relief supplies to affected persons in a timely manner. Cluster agencies are concerned that there will be insufficient vehicles available to assist with possible future evacuation operations should either the radiological evacuation zone be extended to 5 km or a volcanic eruption evacuation ordered. Cluster members are continuing their efforts to have more transportation assets made available and with mapping of evacuation routes. Cluster agencies have relayed that in the event of such additional evacuations, assistance from the TNI and possible support from responding MPAT Nations may be necessary. Debris removal operations focusing on clearing roadways continue. Cluster agencies are reporting that while debris removal in accessible metropolitan areas is progressing well, removal of debris from secondary urban streets and in more remote, rural areas, continues to progress slowly due to a lack of equipment

9 Cluster members are expanding their distribution areas to increase support to affected persons in more remote areas, rural areas or otherwise not living near larger displaced persons concentrations. WFP reports that initial bulk shipments of food aid are due to arrive in Tanjung Emas and Tanjung Itan on 25 April 2017. WFP may require assistance in transporting those shipments from the ports to warehouses near the affected areas. Some commercial trucking companies continue to refuse to send their vehicles into or near the 2 km radiological accident evacuation zone, further complication transport of relief goods to persons in the affected area. Ministry of Agriculture officials, FAO and Cluster member agencies involved in agriculture continue their assessment of the impact of the radiological accident on farms and gardens within 10 km of PTSA. Ministry officials and have relayed that they will accept assistance in assessing the impact the PTSA radiological accident may have had on agriculture. Grants, microfinance programmes and distribution of farm supplies to small farms have begun, as have grants and microfinance programmes for small and medium-sized businesses in the affected area.

10 Cluster agencies are reporting that they are seeing only small numbers of displaced persons voluntarily returning to their pre-disaster homes due to concerns over possible expansion of the radiological incident evacuation zones and possible volcanic eruption evacuation. Most returns are to rural areas away from the greater Yogyakarta City area. As a result, Cluster members are assessing temporary, longer-term housing alternatives for persons who are unable or unwilling to return to their pre-disaster homes. Cluster agencies are also continuing with assessments of shelter materials, water and sanitation supplies, and hygiene kits for persons already displaced or who may become displaced in the event of expansion of the radiation evacuation zone or volcanic eruption evacuation zone. Assessments show that children outside of large concentrations of displaced persons either do not have, or have only limited access to psychosocial services and child-friendly spaces. Cluster agencies are assessing their abilities to deliver these services and establish child-friendly spaces in areas with smaller concentrations of displaced persons. POLRI and Satpol-PP patrols around displaced persons settlements, coordinated in Sexual and Gender based Violence Working Group meetings, have proven to be successful. Reports of crimes and SGBV related crimes remain low. Gaps & Constraints: Shelter materials, water and sanitation facilities, and hygiene kits for persons who may be displaced secondary to expansion of the radiological evacuation zone and / or volcanic eruption. Longer-term, temporary housing options for displaced persons unable or unwilling to return home. Psychosocial care and child-friendly spaces in more remote concentrations of displaced persons.
