This Disaster disturbing many or people life. The Ashes from the merapi is also not good for health. It is said so because the structure of the merapi ashes is like a sharp glasses. The effect of this is in a long term so it is cannot be felt instantly. The merapi also make many business have to closed their shop temporary. Like people who live in the danger zone , like kaliurang, because of this  people who live in around there have to take refugee. Hotel have to closed down too. Also Airport is need to closed down too, and worse of it, even only jogja who closed down their airport, many other country doesn't allow their flight going to indonesia. Many people palnts and livestock also died, the government already giving promise to they who suffer lost of livestock will get a compensation.

Many changes of environment that happen, Like in merapi itself, right now in the peak of it can be seen a curve like in the top. In cangkringan that used to be a beautiful place, right now is already like a Wasteland that cannot be lived at anymore.
