In The Next 7 Months, Cianjur Residents Are Asked To Beware Of Heavy Rain And Landslides
CIANJUR - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Cianjur Regency, West Java, has set a hydrometeorological disaster alert status for the next seven months. This determination was carried out as an anticipatory measure against the potential for extreme weather that often hit the area.
Secretary of the Cianjur Regency BPBD Asep Sudrajat said the alert status was in effect from October 2025 to April 2026, in accordance with the Decree of the Governor of West Java and the Decree of the Regent of Cianjur.
"The application applies from the north to the south of Cianjur because it enters a period of transition from dry to rainy season which is prone to disasters such as strong winds, floods, landslides, ground movement, to high waves," said Asep in Cianjur, Antara, Sunday, October 19.
He appealed to the public to increase vigilance and preparedness to face potential disasters, especially when heavy rains fell for more than two hours. BPBD has also alerted hundreds of volunteers throughout the Cianjur area.
A total of 354 volunteers were alerted in each village to monitor conditions, make reports, and evacuate in the event of a disaster. In the past week alone, there have been a number of incidents such as tornadoes and landslides," said Asep.
According to him, the decision to determine the status of disaster alert is also following up on information from the BMKG which predicts that high rainfall will still occur in the West Java region in the next few months. The West Java Provincial Government has previously set a hydrometeorological disaster alert status in all districts/cities.
