Acknowledgment of Emergency Evacuation Plan
In conducting academic programs and exchanges abroad, the University of Washington makes every effort to protect the welfare and safety of the participants. However, the University is not able to assume responsibility for damage to or loss of property, personal illness or injury, or death of a participant while engaged in this field study program or as a result of involvement in the program.
To be completed by IFSP-Indonesia participants
I acknowledge that I have been given a copy of the IFSP-Indonesia emergency evacuation plan (attached) that outlines a course of action (and contact names and phone numbers) in the event of a need for emergency evacuation. I have read and understand this emergency evacuation plan.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLAN 2018
The usual port of entry for the IFSP-Indonesia is Jakarta. Our flights arrive at the Sukarno Hatta Airport in Jakarta and then we take the “jalan tol” (toll road) straight to Bogor (to the hotel/ homestay lodging and or the Bogor Agricultural Univ. – IPB, and their Primate Research Center – PSSP).
This route avoids all secondary roads in Jakarta and, in most cases, should be safe - even if there were demonstrations in Jakarta (city areas).
In the event that travel to the airport in Jakarta is deemed unsafe, the following evacuation plan could be implemented.
From Bogor
Travel east along Java by motor vehicle (rented car/taxi) to Surabaya (central Java) and take a flight to Singapore or to Denpasar, Bali. Singapore Airlines flies from Surabaya to Singapore several times a day and a number of international flights depart Denpasar daily. Although the Bali bombing of Oct 2002 was a devastating event, Bali is typically considered a safe location. During the political unrest that prompted President Soeharto’s resignation in May 1998, Denpasar, was designated a main congregation point for American citizens in the event that a US military-assisted evacuation was required.
From Tinjil Island
If the situation in Indonesia is such that return to Bogor/Jakarta is deemed unsafe (extremely unlikely), fishing boats will be used to travel east along the south coast of Java to a safe port to obtain motor vehicle transport to Surabaya for a flight to Singapore or Bali. If needed, the boats could be used to travel directly to Bali.
In all cases, one should attempt to avoid demonstrations and large gatherings that could turn violent.
