TANJUNGPANDAN - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Belitung Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, has successfully evacuated a number of vehicles trapped in the flood on Jalan Serai Wangi RT. 003 / RW.002, Bantan Village, Membalong District. "BPBD personnel managed to evacuate a number of vehicles trapped in the flood so that they could not pass," said Head of the BPBD Belitung, Agus Supriadi, quoted by Antara, Saturday, January 10.
According to him, the vehicles that were evacuated consisted of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. "In total, there were dozens of vehicles that the evacuation team managed to evacuate in the field until the afternoon," he said. "While the road section that was flooded was 150 meters long," he said. With that condition, continued Agus, it is very impossible for vehicles to pass, because the water level is quite dangerous. "Then the team immediately went down to the field to evacuate the vehicles," he said. "The flooding that submerged the road section was caused by the extreme weather of heavy rain that hit Belitung. "The flood was caused by heavy rain that hit Belitung since yesterday until this morning, causing the river to overflow," he said.
Agus ensured that the current flood conditions had gradually receded and could be passed by both two- and four-wheeled vehicles. "However, we still urge drivers to remain cautious when passing through the road," he said.
