The Regional Project (RP) site visit of Kali Code near Yogyakarta took place from February 13 until February 22, 2011. At the height of the preparations for the site visit, Mt. Merapi erupted and the area was subsequently overwhelmed by ensuing floods. Indonesia Regional Project Working Group (RPWG) as well as Pemerti Kali Code (Yogyakarta Code Community Forum), co-hosting the Kali Code visit, had to undertake a serious assessment of the feasibility of the February site visit.
