Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has introduced biometric validation for distributing Temporary Housing Funds (DTH) to disaster victims in Sumatra, eliminating the need for ID cards or family registers. The system uses stored fingerprint and photo data from population records to verify identities. This ensures aid reaches recipients even if documents are lost in the disaster.
