1. Total investment in DRR activities has been increasing significantly, i.e., from only IDR 2,6 Trillion in 2006 to almost IDR 9 Trillion in 2011. In 2012 the government intends to increase the budget allocation for disaster risk reduction to a level of IDR 10 Trillion (equivalent to USD 0.9 Billion). The actual investments on DRR are probably even greater since some activities are embedded in other activities. The ratio of DRR investment to total government budget is about 0.7%, while the ratio to total central government budget is around 1 % in 2011-2012. 2. A large proportion of DRR investments (about 75% during 2006-2011) is allocated for Disaster Mitigation and Prevention activities, to control floods, lava flowing, coastal abrasion, etc. The second biggest investment program is for Disaster Preparedness activities such as formulation of mechanism for preparedness and disaster risk reduction, formulation and testing of emergency disaster management plans, organization, installation, and testing of early warning system, etc. The third biggest area of investment is for Research, Education, and Training (about 5.9%).
