Heavy Rains Accompany Transitions In Sangihe, North Sulawesi, BPBD Wanti-wanti Lane In The Highlands

SULUT - High rainfall intensity accompanied transitions in the Sangihe Islands Regency, North Sulawesi (North Sulawesi). The local Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) asked residents to be aware of the potential for natural disasters that arise due to the weather.

"Heavy rains accompanied by winds often hit Sangihe Regency, so people are asked to increase their vigilance due to the transitional weather," said Wandu Labesi in Tahuna, Tuesday 10 May.

According to him, residents need to increase public awareness of disasters caused by heavy rains accompanied by strong winds because Sangihe is a disaster-prone area.

"If you want to travel overland by vehicle or through plantation areas, mountains and cliffs, you need to be careful and alert from possible landslides and fallen trees," he added, launching Antara.

The impact of heavy rains with high intensity and a long time can cause flooding, so residents who live in flood-prone areas must also be vigilant.

"We ask all people who live in disaster-prone areas to continue to increase their vigilance because it is raining in Sangihe Regency," he said.

According to him, those who live in watersheds and hillsides that are prone to disasters should continue to increase their vigilance.

He also asked the village and sub-district governments to immediately contact BPBD in the event of a natural disaster. "The village and sub-district governments are expected to remain vigilant and carry out monitoring in their respective work areas," he said.
