Utilities Apps in Indonesia

Info BMKG is the official app for Indonesian weather forecasts, earthquake information, tsunami-related information, air quality, maritime conditions and early warnings. Enable relevant notifications, but do not wait for the phone if local authorities, sirens or natural warning signs require immediate action. If a strong or long earthquake is felt near the coast, move inland or to high ground. Check current BMKG information plus official volcano or park advice before hiking, taking a boat or routing near an active volcano. Conditions and exclusion zones can change faster than a static country guide. Save emergency and assistance details outside the app. As reviewed in August 2026, police can be reached nationally on 110. The general 112 service is free where implemented, but the official program is not nationwide. Save the local fire, ambulance, hospital, insurer, accommodation and embassy contacts for each destination, and expect that English may not be available. Ask a trusted Indonesian speaker to help when safe. Medical facilities vary sharply outside major cities, and payment or evacuation guarantees may be required. Keep insurance documents and essential medical information offline. For a lost passport, theft or serious incident, obtain a police report and contact the relevant embassy or consulate. Do not sign a statement you cannot understand without interpretation. Apps do not solve weak emergency response, remote marine rescue or volcano access. Leave an itinerary with someone, carry power and water, and use a reputable guide or boat operator for remote activities.
