JAKARTA - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) recorded at least 24 trees fell during extreme weather conditions in the last three days in Maros Regency, South Sulawesi (South Sulawesi).
"The bad weather conditions since Saturday (10-12) January caused dozens of trees to fall and there were 12 houses affected by strong winds and heavy rain," said BPBD Maros Secretary Nasrul in Maros, South Sulawesi, Tuesday, quoted by Antara.
He said the impact of the extreme weather caused a power outage for several hours in a number of areas, especially those directly affected such as on the Bantimurung and Bonto Masunggu roads, Maros Baru District.
At the location, one resident's house was severely damaged to almost flat, two houses were moderately damaged and three houses were slightly damaged.
In addition, the fallen tree caused the main PDAM electricity pole to collapse due to the attraction of the electricity cable at the location of the Maros Regent's Office.
Responding to this, the BPBD Maros Rapid Response Team has evacuated fallen trees in the last three days, including in the Soreang, Barandasi, Dahlia Street, and Taroada Housing areas.
Responding to this condition, the BPBD Maros appealed to residents to remain vigilant against the potential for extreme weather that can occur at any time.
In addition, residents are asked to immediately report the incident that occurred in the field so that action can be taken immediately by the relevant parties.
