It seems that there has been a very few reports and stories from Indonesia in your space, despite the fact Indonesia is the worst hit country. That's the problem with the English-based flow of information that has created so much distorted views of the world.
I suggest you to be more active in recruiting people who can translate Indonesian into English, to give the disaster reports more comprehensive.
