Question of the day: Why can’t emergency information be relayed through the central government or scientists and the established local government leaders (e.g., neighborhood level RW and RT) and the vast system of mosques in Indonesia? There are mosques in virtually every area and there are usually megaphones for the call to prayer. Technically-speaking, couldn’t there be a coordinated system of handphones provided to or voluntarily supplied by local leaders who then they themselves or some other designated person communicate valuable information to the public over the megaphone system from the mosques? Hmmm… Is there a better, more efficient and effective, suggestion?
