The Head of the Klungkung Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), I Putu Widiada, said the loss was still temporary data.

"That's our temporary data. We haven't checked the losses for sure and it's the residents who are affected like that," said Widiada, when contacted on Tuesday, December 14.

Meanwhile, residents are now carrying out activities as usual. Clean water channels that were affected by the flood can now be used again.

"Residents from yesterday have opened a shop. Now the water has flowed, yesterday the water died. Now the water has flowed normally and residents have been selling as usual," he added.

BPBD said that the most severe impact of flash floods was tearing down the dividing walls of residents' houses. In Ped Village there are several broken roads. Floods occur due to the effects of extreme rainfall.

"The reason is that information from the BMKG of extreme rainfall, from Batumadeg Village is extreme rainfall and in another village it is unusually heavy. The regent has donated basic necessities. We will repair public facilities," said Widiada.

From the recapitulation records of the BPBD in Klungkung Regency, Bali, the impact of the flood losses included a number of stalls being destroyed, livestock dying, the fence walls of residents' houses collapsing, toilet business buildings destroyed, and the beach security embankment breaking.

Then in Batumadeg Village, the roads and piers were broken, the water reservoir was broken, the walls of the temple were broken, the goods and merchandise of the residents were washed away by the flood. Meanwhile in Suana Village, the locals' shop was destroyed, motorbikes were damaged and washed away, and cars were damaged.

Furthermore, in Batununggul Village, 55 families' houses were submerged in water. Then in the village of Lembongan, the yard security embankment and the scaffolding were broken.

Meanwhile, the Regent of Klungkung I Nyoman Suwirta set a transitional status for disaster emergency recovery, after the flash flood disaster.

"The determination of the status of the disaster emergency response is very important, so that the BTT (Unexpected Shopping) budget can be used for disaster management so that it can open access for the community," said Suwirta.

This unexpected budget must also be disbursed immediately. The reason is that the disbursement of funds from the APBD for this year cannot be carried out after December 25.
