Hello Hive friends, may God always bless us all. I am so happy to be able to share posts again in our beloved GEMS community.
In this post, I want to share about our journey to escape the isolated area. At that time, even though it was already three weeks after the natural disaster that struck our area, several highway accesses were still cut off.
We were located in a rural area. One day before the flood and landslide, we went to my in-laws' house, which is located in a rural area. This village is about an hour's drive from the city center.
We stayed overnight in the village, and in the morning, we received news that the road back to the city was flooded, buried by landslides, and some roads were completely cut off. That day suddenly turned into a terrifying one: power outages, internet outages, and natural disasters were everywhere, almost everywhere in Aceh.
We were forced to live through days filled with anxiety and panic as food supplies began to run low. Everyone began to panic, buying and hoarding large amounts of food from stores, so that supplies began to dwindle and become scarce.
We tried to survive in the village, living through dark days and nights, aimless, trapped, isolated, and it was truly confusing. Our focus at that time was finding rice as a staple food for survival. With the remaining rice, we tried to survive, eating what was available. Luckily, we had vegetables and bananas in our garden.
The days grew increasingly tense. Fuel became scarce, the village became deserted, and the only way to get out to the shopping center was by walking. That day was truly draining on energy, thought, and sanity. Even getting information from outside was extremely difficult due to the loss of cellular service. Even our cell phones were completely useless that day.
That day, we also lost contact and communication with our relatives outside the city. We were completely trapped in the middle of the forest, flanked by hills. If we remained where we were, a long period of starvation would ensue.
Bitter days passed. Slowly, the road was opened through mutual cooperation. People, already starving, cleared the road and walked out of town in search of food. We were truly trapped in the middle of the forest, flanked by hills. If we remained where we were, a long period of starvation would ensue.
The only way out at that time was to leave the village on foot and search for food outside the city. This journey took up to three days and was extremely tiring. Days passed, and government aid only arrived after two weeks. They deployed heavy equipment and helicopters to reach isolated villages and open road access.
This natural disaster has taught us valuable lessons about how to strengthen each other, work together, and find solutions to survive during times of natural disaster. It also teaches us the importance of food security, having and stocking up on sufficient food supplies in advance, enough to last for one to two months. Disasters and everything that happens are experiences and lessons for the future.

Halo sahabat Hive, semoga tuhan selalu memberkati kita semuanya. Senang sekali saya dapat kembali berbagi postingan di komunitas GEMS yang kita cintai ini.
Pada postingan ini saya ingin berbagi postingan tentang perjalanan kami untuk keluar dari daerah terisolir. Pada waktu itu meskipun sudah minggu ke tiga paska bencana alam yang melanda wilayah kami, sejumlah akses jalan raya masih terputus.
Posisi kami berada di wilayah pendesaan, satu hari sebelum bencana banjir dan tanah longsor, kami pergi kerumah mertua yang berada di wilayah pendesaan. Jarak desa ini sekitar satu jam lebih perjalanan dengan berkendara dari pusat kota.
Kami menginap di desa, hingga pagi hari kami mendapatkan kabar bahwa akses jalan pulang ke kota telah digenangi banjir, tertanam longsor dan beberapa titik jalan bahkan terputus total. Hari itu seketika berubah menjadi mencekam, mati listrik, jaringan internet terputus, bencana alam dimana-dimana hampir di seluru wilayah Aceh.
Dengan terpaksa kami menjalani hari-hari yang penuh dengan kebimbangan dan kepanikan karena bahan pangan mulai menipis. Semua orang mulai panik, mereka membeli dan memborong banyak makanan di toko-toko, sehingga barang itu kian mulai berkurang dan langka.
Kami mencoba bertahan di desa, menjalani hari-hari dan malam yang gelap, tanpa arah, terjebak, terisolir dan itu sungguh membuat kami membingungkan. Fokus kami pada waktu itu adalah mencari beras sebagai bahan pangan pokok untuk bertahan hidup, dengan sisa beras yang ada kami mencoba bertahan hidup, makan dengan apa yang ada, beruntungnya kami memiliki sayuran dan pisang di kebun.
Hari-hari semakin mencekam, bahan bakar minyak mulai langka, desa menjadi sepi, semua aktivitas yang dapat dilakukan untuk keluar ke pusat perbelanjaan satu-satunya cara hanya dengan berjalan kaki. Hari itu benar-benar menguras energi, pikiran dan kewarasan, bahkan untuk mendapatkan informasi dari luar pun sangat sulit karena hilangnya jaringan seluler, bahkan ponsel kami pada hari itu benar-benar tidak berguna.
Hari itu kami juga kehilangan kontak dan komunikasi dengan kerabat kami yang berada di luar kota, ntah apa yang terjadi diluar sana. Rasa khawatir semakin membuat kesedihan dan ketakutan, setelah kami mendengar kabar dari orang-orang bahwa di wilayah pesisir juga terjadi banjir dengan cukup parah, pikiran saya melayang tidak terarah pada waktu itu.
Hari-hari pahit berlalu, pelan-pelan akses jalan dibuka dengan cara bergotong royong, orang-orang yang mulai kelaparan membuka akses jalan dan berjalan kaki mencari makan ke luar kota. Kami benar-benar terperangkap di tengah hutan, diapit dengan perbukitan, jika bertahan dan diam ditempat, maka kelaparan panjang akan terjadi.
Satu-satunya cara pada waktu itu adalah keluar dari desa dengan berjalan kaki mencari makanan keluar kota, perjalanan yang membutuhkan waktu hingga 3 hari, itu sangat melelahkan. Hari-hari berlalu, bantuan dari pemerintah baru masuk setelah minggu ke dua, mereka mengarahkan alat berat dan helikopter untuk menjangkau desa yang terisolir, dan membuka akses jalan.
Pelajaran berharga atas bencana alam yang menimpa ini mengajarkan kami tentang bagaimana cara untuk saling menguatkan antar sesama manusia, bergotong royong, dan penyelesaian solusi untuk bertahan hidup ditengah masa bencana alam. Hal ini jug mengajarkan untuk pentingnya memiliki ketahanan pangan, memiliki dan menyetok sejumlah bahan pangan lebih awal dengan jumlah yang mungkin bisa untuk dikonsumsi satu hingga dua bulan kedepan, bencana dan segalanya yang terjadi adalah pengalaman dan pelajaran untuk masa yang akan datang.
