There are 120 adults and 80 children in the refugee camp. Their existence is temporary, waiting for the development of the situation until they return to their respective homes. The presence of the Regional Police Chief at the location was greeted by several children who cheerfully sang the song "welcome father". Having clapped along with the children, the Regional Police Chief immediately chatted with several refugee residents.
"What do the people here lack? If there is anything, you can contact the Chief of Police. What facilities are lacking here? How about it, is it good here or at home?" explained the Central Java Regional Police Chief.
The joke from the Regional Police Chief made the atmosphere fluid so that it provoked the residents to have a longer intimate dialogue. The Regional Police Chief provided motivation and consolation for residents to be patient after the swarm earthquake hit their village.

"This visit also includes checking the implementation of the health protocols. Even in the refugee camps, the health protocols must still be carried out. Therefore, the Regional Police's Medical and Health division, together with the National Armed Forces and the Regional Government, will continue to monitor. We pray that there will be no aftershocks," he said.
