Hytera Indonesia Supports Flood Relief Efforts in Sumatra with Emergency Communications Donation

2026-01-16

Jakarta, Indonesia – January 8, 2026 – Hytera Communications, a leading global provider of critical communications technologies and solutions, has supported flood relief efforts in Indonesia through a donation of emergency communication equipment to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), helping strengthen coordination for ongoing response operations in Sumatra.

In recent weeks, severe rainfall has caused widespread flooding and landslides across Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra, disrupting communities, infrastructure, and essential services. As BNPB leads national response and recovery efforts, dependable communication remains a critical enabler for coordination among rescue teams, field officers, and emergency command posts.

The donated communication equipment has been distributed by BNPB to rapid response teams operating in the field, including personnel, supporting emergency command and coordination tasks. By ensuring responders remain connected in challenging and rapidly changing environments, the support helps facilitate smoother information flow and more effective collaboration during rescue and relief operations.

This initiative reflects Hytera Indonesia’s continued commitment to standing alongside national authorities and local communities during times of crisis. “Effective communication is essential in disaster response, where conditions are unpredictable and coordination is complex. Support from partners such as Hytera helps our teams maintain connectivity and focus on what matters most—protecting lives and assisting affected communities”, said Deni Irawan, an IT expert at BNPB.

“With more than 20 years of continuous presence in Indonesia, Hytera has worked closely with local partners and authorities to support critical communications needs across the country,” said Mars Li, Director of PT. Hytera Communications Indonesia. “In moments like these, contributing to emergency response efforts is not just a responsibility—it reflects our long-term commitment to the communities we serve.”

Hytera's commitment to supporting crisis resilience in Indonesia and across the wider region is reflected in its long-standing engagement in disaster response. In 2018, Hytera provided emergency communications equipment to Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) following the earthquake and tsunami in Central Sulawesi, supporting coordination for search, rescue, and evacuation efforts. 

Beyond Indonesia, Hytera has also supported emergency communications in other major natural disasters over the years, reinforcing its belief that reliable connectivity plays a critical role in humanitarian response when communities face extreme challenges.

Hytera Indonesia expresses its sincere solidarity with all affected communities and deep respect for the dedication of emergency responders and volunteers working tirelessly on the front lines.
