JAKARTA - The West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Government (Pemprov) together with the Mataram City Government (Pemkot) has prepared a relocation scheme for residents affected by the flood in the Bugis Neighborhood, Bintaro Village, Ampenan District.
"As an emergency measure, the NTB Provincial Government together with the Mataram City Government has prepared evacuation tents to accommodate residents affected by the disaster. The government has also prepared a follow-up handling scheme, including the option of temporary relocation while waiting for a permanent solution," said NTB Governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal after reviewing the residents of the Bugis Neighborhood who were affected by the flood through a written statement in Mataram, Friday, quoted by Antara.
He also emphasized the importance of planned and measurable coastal disaster mitigation. Iqbal, the nickname of the NTB Governor, also urged residents to remain vigilant as the BMKG predicts the potential for rain and strong winds until January 26, 2026.
The NTB Governor had a dialogue with Sukma residents of RT 03, Bugis Neighborhood, who were affected.
Residents hope that the government will immediately provide treatment for houses damaged by waves, as well as prepare short-term and long-term solutions for coastal settlements.
Head of the Bugis Environment Suherman explained that high waves began to occur since Wednesday, January 21 at around 20.00 WITA with a wave height of 1.5 meters.
The condition is much more extreme than previous days and triggers strong blows that exacerbate abrasion around residential areas.
"Every night we stand guard, from eight to one o'clock. The waves are very big, unlike the previous days," he said.
Suherman added that six residents' houses suffered the most damage, with three houses being washed away, and three other houses were severely damaged so that they were no longer habitable. A number of other houses were also affected, but some could still be used to a limited extent.
"Three houses were swept away and three other houses were severely damaged. Other houses were affected, but can still be used," he said.
