“Clarification of Issuance of Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens

January 14, 2016

Following the heinous attack that took place today in Jakarta, the U.S. Embassy issued two Emergency Notifications for American Citizens living in Indonesia. These e-mails were sent from an emergency response network with a Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) + 7 time stamp. The e-mails, sent at 11:44WIB and 12:36WIB respectively, were sent to registered American citizens to keep them apprised of the latest developments and provide important safety information for our citizens abroad. This information was also posted on the Embassy website at 12:16 WIB and 13:04 WIB. As Ambassador Blake conveyed earlier today via Twitter, we offer our condolences to the victims and their families of this heinous attack and stand ready to assist our Indonesian partners at this time.

Berikut ini paste dari message saya ke pihak U.S. Embassy Jakarta:

“Hi U.S. Embassy Jakarta,

Above is screen shot of “Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens Regarding Sari Pan Pacific Hotel and Sarinah Plaza” circulating in social media and Whatsapp groups, which stated you have sent the email several hours before the event happen. Please clarify this, anounce your clarification trough your social media account before this hoax spreads even more.”

“Hi Aribowo, we have published the clarification regarding this on our website (yesterday): http://jakarta.usembassy.gov/news/pr_160114en.html

Thank you for your kind concern.

Best regards.”

“Hi U.S. Embassy Jakarta,

Berikut penjelasan kedubes AS mengenai pemberitahuan darurat:

Setelah terjadinya serangan keji hari ini di Jakarta, Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat mengeluarkan dua Pemberitahuan Darurat untuk warga negara Amerika Serikat yang tinggal di Indonesia. Pemberitahuan Darurat tersebut dikirim melalui email, dari jaringan tanggap darurat yang menggunakan cap waktu (time stamp) “Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) + 7.”

Email-email tersebut, yang dikirim pada 11:44 WIB dan 12:36 WIB, dikirim ke warga negara Amerika yang terdaftar dalam jaringan tanggap darurat, untuk memberikan mereka informasi mengenai perkembangan terkini dan informasi penting yang menyangkut keselamatan warga AS di luar negeri. Informasi yang terdapat dalam email-email tersebut juga telah diunggah ke situs web resmi Kedubes AS pada 12:16 WIB dan 13:04 WIB.

Seperti yang telah disampaikan oleh Dubes AS Robert Blake melalui Twitter, kami mengucapkan turut belasungkawa kepada para korban serangan keji ini beserta keluarga mereka, dan kami siap membantu mitra-mitra Indonesia kami.
