Jakarta, Oct. 1 -- The Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) has trained students with visual impairments at Budi Nurani Special School in Sukabumi, West Java, on how to respond during emergencies as part of Disaster Risk Mitigation Month, officials said on Wednesday.

Imran Whardhani, head of Disaster Mitigation at the Sukabumi-based PMI Office, said the initiative aimed to ensure people with disabilities can act effectively in emergencies.
