JAKARTA - The Rejang Lebong Regency Government (Pemkab), Bengkulu, invites local people to increase their prayers to God Almighty so that they are spared from disasters due to extreme weather that has occurred recently.
"We appeal and invite all people, especially Muslims in Rejang Lebong Regency, to always recite, pray, and pray to Allah SWT to be spared from disasters," said the Acting Regional Secretary of Rejang Lebong Regency, Elva Mardiana, in Rejang Lebong, Friday, December 12, reported by ANTARA.
He said based on the latest analysis of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) on December 11, 2025, the development of Tropical Cyclone 91S Seed has a significant impact on atmospheric dynamics.
This condition, he said, has the potential to increase the intensity of moderate to heavy rainfall which can trigger hydrometeorological disasters such as floods, flash floods, and landslides, depending on the level of vulnerability of each region.
According to Elva, prayers and requests for protection from God Almighty are hoped to be a joint effort so that the community can be spared from the impact of Tropical Cyclone 91S and other potential disasters, both in Rejang Lebong and other areas in Indonesia.
The appeal for increased vigilance and the invitation to pray was conveyed through a letter distributed to 156 villages and sub-districts in 15 sub-districts in Rejang Lebong Regency.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Rejang Lebong Regency, M. Budianto, said his party had prepared personnel for the Operations Control Center (Pusdalops), volunteers, and disaster management equipment.
"In addition to Pusdalops personnel and volunteers, we are also continuing to coordinate with the TNI, Polri, and other related institutions. If a disaster occurs at any time, we are ready," said Budianto.
He explained that the high rainfall in recent weeks made a number of villages and sub-districts in several sub-districts prone to disasters, such as floods, flash floods, landslides, and tornadoes.
BPBD appeals to people living along rivers, hillsides, and along the Curup-Lubuklinggau (South Sumatra) and Curup-Muara Aman (Lebong Regency) Cross Roads, to increase vigilance.
"If the rain with moderate to heavy intensity falls for a long time, residents are asked to temporarily evacuate to a safe place to minimize the risk and casualties due to natural disasters," he said.
