BNPB bakal gelar Operasi Modifikasi Cuaca (OMC) untuk meredam dampak abu vulkanik Gunung Anak Krakatau menggunakan pesawat di Bandara Pondok Cabe dengan dua metode, yaitu memicu hujan untuk membawa turun abu atau menyemprotkan kabut halus air jika tidak ada awan hujan. Erupsi Gunung Anak Krakatau sejak Jumat (4/9) menyebabkan abu vulkanik menyebar hingga ke Jakarta, Banten, dan Lampung sehingga beberapa bandara ditutup sementara.
