Pos Pengamatan Gunung Merapi Kaliurang, located in Kaliurang, is the most vital volcanic observation outpost located directly within the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
Situated in the Pakem district of Sleman Regency, this BPPTKG station sits right on the bustling southern slopes of Mount Merapi. Because it is positioned so close to popular tourist spots and local residential hubs, the crew here faces a high-stakes mission. They monitor real-time seismic waves, gas emissions, and visual changes to detect early signs of volcanic activity.
By keeping a constant 24/7 vigil, Pos Kaliurang serves as Yogyakarta’s immediate frontline defense, providing critical data to emergency services and ensuring the surrounding communities stay safe, informed, and ready to evacuate.
