JAKARTA - A total of 10 houses in Semelagi Kecil, North Singkawang District, Singkawang City, West Kalimantan (Kalbar) were flooded on Monday 2 December.
Head of the Singkawang Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Nana Priyana said the flooding that occurred was due to the high intensity of rainfall on Sunday, December 1 night.
"This causes puddles from the east, which have a higher position, to flow north," he said, confiscated by Antara.
Based on today's monitoring, he continued, the water level is about 15 centimeters, while there are two houses with flood depths reaching about 30 centimeters.
"BPBD Singkawang immediately coordinated with the Lurah Semelagi and the Head of RT 10 to conduct a survey of the flood location," he said.
According to him, the current flood is still not dangerous because it can still be handled by residents. However, BPBD Singkawang is still waiting for news from the RT/Lurah if evacuation is needed.
