The joint SAR team until Thursday afternoon managed to evacuate 10 victims of flash floods that hit Jorong Toboh, Nagari (village) East Malalak, Malalak District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra (West Sumatra) in a state of death.

"Currently, we have found 10 victims with dead conditions," said Padang Basarnas personnel Rian Agus Putra as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, November 27.

In addition to the victims who died, the joint team has also evacuated a number of residents who suffered minor, moderate, to severe injuries to the nearest hospital for intensive care.

He said 10 victims were found at a number of points but not so far from residential areas suspected of being swept away by flash floods, while the survivors were evacuated from residents' homes with various injured conditions.

"The location of the discovery is not too far from the settlement. So maybe the victim was carried away by the current and avalanche material," he said.

Some of the injured residents suffered injuries to fractures due to the flash floods that hit the area on Wednesday (26/11), at around 15:45 WIB.

In addition, the joint team evacuated pregnant women to the elderly (elderly) to the hospital.

During the operation, Basarnas deployed 18 personnel and a number of officers from BPBD, TNI, Polri, Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) to volunteers.
