West Java, December 29, 2022 - Pertamina Patra Niaga West Java Regional (JBB) ensures readiness to serve and guarantees fuel and LPG availability in tourist areas and areas with potential disasters.

Besides that, Pertamina is also on standby in areas with potential disasters.

"Earlier, we checked, turns out that most of the South Coast area is prone to landslides. Of course, we do not expect bad things to happen. Still, we have to keep anticipating. Thus when obstacles happened, we respond quickly," Waljiyanto said during a visit to Pertashop in Ciherang, Tasikmalaya, Wednesday (28/12/2022).
