PT Masmindo Dwi Area (MDA) has deployed its Emergency Response Team (ERT) to join the ESDM Disaster Response humanitarian mission in support of disaster management efforts in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

The team was officially dispatched by MDA President Director, Trisakti Simorangkir, on Tuesday (August 18). For this mission, MDA is sending three emergency response personnel who will join the ESDM Disaster Response team and other relevant stakeholders in the affected areas.

In his remarks prior to their departure, Trisakti said that the involvement of MDA’s ERT Team represents the company’s support for collective efforts to assist communities affected by the disaster. He also reminded all personnel to prioritize safety, maintain coordination, and carry out their duties with a strong sense of responsibility.

“Your departure carries a humanitarian mission and the responsibility to help communities facing difficult circumstances. Stay safe, maintain team solidarity, follow the coordination of the ESDM Disaster Response team, and give the best of our abilities to support those on the ground,” said Trisakti.

Prior to deployment, the MDA ERT Team prepared its personnel and various supporting equipment required throughout the mission. With their emergency response competencies, the team is expected to contribute to various disaster management efforts in the field, in accordance with the directions and needs established through coordination with ESDM Disaster Response.

This deployment reflects MDA’s spirit of mutual cooperation and commitment to supporting humanitarian efforts whenever assistance is needed. MDA hopes that the entire mission will be carried out safely and smoothly and provide meaningful support to communities affected by disasters in NTT.

The involvement of MDA’s ERT Team in this humanitarian mission also builds on the team’s experience in responding to disasters in various parts of Indonesia. Previously, the MDA ERT Team has participated in disaster response efforts, including a landslide in Bonglo, Palopo, in 2024; flash floods in Luwu Regency in May 2024; a landslide in Padang Hamlet in 2025; as well as flood response efforts in Barru and Soppeng Regencies, South Sulawesi, in 2025.
