Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi (literally Fire Mountain in Indonesian/Javanese), is an active stratovolcano located in Central Java, 28 kilometers (17 mi) north of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. I was there on November 10, 2010. By this time 153 people had been reported to have been killed and 320,000 were displaced. The area was restricted and this was as close as I was allowed to go. Prior, on 25 October, the Indonesian government raised the alert for Mount Merapi to its highest level (4) and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground. People living within a 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) zone were told to evacuate. The evacuation orders affected at least 19,000 people; however, the number that complied at the time remained unclear to authorities. Officials said about 500 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded on the mountain over the weekend of October 23-24, and that the magma had risen to about 1 kilometer (3,300 ft) below the surface due to the seismic activity. Later the eruptive activities again increased requiring a continuation of the Level 4 alert and continued provision of exclusion zones around the volcano. By November 8, the death toll had increased to 275. The toll had risen to 324 by November 24. The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) explained that the death toll had risen after a number of victims succumbed to severe burns and more bodies were found on the volcano’s slopes.
Indonesian army and police personnel are assisting in the evacuation efforts.

Looking at volcano Mt.Merapi from King Boko Site
To keep the volcano quiet and to appease the spirits of the mountain, the Javanese regularly bring offerings on the anniversary of the sultan of Yogyakarta's coronation. For Yogyakarta Sultanate, Merapi holds significant cosmological symbolism, because it is forming a sacred north-south axis line between Merapi peak and Southern Ocean (Indian Ocean). The sacred axis is signified by Merapi peak in the north, the Tugu monument near Yogyakarta main train station, the axis runs along Malioboro street to Northern Alun-alun (square) across Keraton Yogyakarta (sultan palace), Southern Alun-alun, all the way to Bantul and finally reach Samas and Parangkusumo beach on the estuary of Opak river and Southern Ocean. This sacred axis connected the hyangs or spirits of mountain revered since ancient times—often identified as "Mbah Petruk" by Javanese people—The Sultan of Yogyakarta as the leader of the Javanese kingdom, and Nyi Roro Kidul as the queen of the Southern Ocean, the female ocean deity revered by Javanese people and also mythical consort of Javanese kings

Mount Merapi is one of the active volcanoes located in central Java. it is the most active volcanoes in Indonesia which has erupted and vomiting red hot lava which break the area of Kali Adem. It is just 35 minutes drive from Adi Sucipto Yogyakarta Airport. Author: Bali Hotels and Tours
Less then 3km from the volcano, nothing survived. Trees were burned and fallen in all directions since the burning ash created local vortexes. Green turned to grey, life to death
Thousands of people are still arriving at Yogyakarta's Maguwoharjo stadium.
The President of Indonesia Susilo has now declared the volcanic eruptions a "national disaster".

After a harrowing night fleeing the new eruptions of the volcano, many exhausted people simply lie down and sleep amongst the chaos.

Jujur. Tak mudah untuk membantu recovery kembali hunian bagi warga korban merapi yang tempat tinggalnya tersapu awan panas dan lahar panas. Setelah tiga bulan berlalu dan aktivitas kemanusiaan tak segempita kala Merapi erupsi, tragedi kemanusiaan sesungguhnya baru dimulai.
Al-Azhar Peduli Ummat, Front Umat Islam (FUI), dan Yayasan Klaten Peduli Ummat (YKPU) satu dari beberapa lembaga yang masih berkiprah di Merapi. Setelah membangun pipanisasi air dari Merbabu ke Merapi sejauh 12 KM, kini kami mulai membangun rumah untuk korban Merapi di Balerante, Kemalang, Klaten. Sebagian area di Balerante tersapu awan panas kala itu.
Kini warga memilih kembali ke rumah semula yang telah musnah dengan membuat bedeng seperti kandang ayam. Pilihan kembali ini dirembug bersama relawan Al-Azhar Peduli Ummat dan YKPU. Pengalaman Al-Azhar Peduli Ummat membangun 600 unit rumah bagi warga korban gempa di padang dimusyawarahkan dengan warga.
Masyarakat Balerante pun memutuskan kembali jika ada relawan yang mendampingi untuk membangun rumah.
Alhamdulillah, ada 100 unit rumah yang bisa dibangun di lokasi rumah mereka yang telah hilang oleh awan panas. Tapi ada ratusan rumah lain yang juga menunggu. Hari ini sudah 14 unit yang sedang dibangun dan 4 rumah siap ditempati. Lokasi pembangunan rumah di atas tanah mereka sendiri.
Rumah ini tipe 36 dilengkapi dapur dan kamar mandi. Untuk mencapai 100 unit, Al-Azhar Peduli Ummat tentu tak mampu sendiri. Pembangunan rumah ini juga melibatkan peran warga korban merapi. Peran Anda, kita, dan lembaga serta perusahaan bisa disinergikan dalam program ini. Kami mengundang untuk membangun kembali
kehidupan warga korban merapi. Kapan jika tidak hari ini? Mari segera tunaikan amanah kemanusiaan yang telah dipercayakan pada kita.narsa
