West Sumatra Governor (West Sumatra) Mahyeldi said based on information from regional apparatus organizations (OPD) as of Wednesday morning, all areas affected by the provincial hydrometeorological disaster had been accessed.

"Information this morning from the OPD, from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), thank God all regions have been accessed in West Sumatra," said West Sumatra Governor Mahyeldi in Padang, Wednesday, December 3.

Mahyeldi thanked all parties for their support for the disaster faced by most of the people of West Sumatra at this time.

With the opening of all access to affected areas, Mahyeldi hopes that the distribution of aid to communities in disaster-affected areas can be carried out more smoothly.

On the other hand, the provincial government continues to receive the distribution of aid for affected victims, one of which is from financial service industry players who are members of the West Sumatra Financial Services Industry Communication Forum (FKIJK) in the form of basic materials, blankets, foam mattresses and others worth Rp244 million.

Mahyeldi expressed his gratitude for the attention and support received, and said all forms of assistance provided were very meaningful for the disaster-affected community.

In addition, there is also assistance from the non-governmental organization (NGO) of the Al-Khair Foundation worth Rp600 million as a tangible manifestation of concern and solidarity to ease the burden on people affected by the disaster.

Mahyeldi appealed to the public to remain vigilant even though the weather had started to improve. This includes BMKG predictions for super moon phenomena that have the potential to tide higher than usual.

"For this reason, I urge the people of West Sumatra to remain vigilant, especially in potential disaster areas, such as areas on the coast and hilly areas," he said.
