High Rain Intensity, The Regional Disaster Management Agency Asks Sangihe Residents To Beware Of Natural Disasters

SULUT - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reminded residents of the Sangihe Islands Regency, North Sulawesi to be aware of potential natural disasters as high rainfall intensity hit the area.

The head of the Sangihe BPBD, Wandu Labesi, reminded residents not to be careless with the potential for disaster vulnerability in their area.

"We remind all residents to stay alert to natural conditions due to the rainy weather that hit Sangihe Regency," said Wandu Labesi in Tahuna, Monday, April 4, quoted from Antara.

According to him, at this time the Sangihe Islands Regency is entering the rainy season with high intensity so it needs vigilance from all residents.

"Village and kelurahan officials should continue to monitor the natural conditions around them, so that they take immediate steps if needed," he said.

Sangihe Regency, he said, is one of the areas prone to floods and landslides because it often occurs when it rains with high intensity.

"We all hope that there will be no disaster due to this natural condition, but the public must still be vigilant to avoid natural disasters," he said.

He reminded road users, especially vehicles outside Tahuna City, to be aware of fallen trees and road landslides.

"Road users, especially vehicles from outside the city, should always be aware of landslides and fallen trees and slippery roads in the rainy season like this because the roads in Sangihe are prone to landslides," he said.
