BANDA ACEH - As many as four houses in Karang Rejo Village, Bukit District, Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh Province were damaged by a tornado.

Head of BPBD Bener Meriah Safriadi said the strong winds occurred at around 15.34 WIB.

"Two houses were heavily damaged and two houses were slightly damaged and there were no victims in the disaster," he said, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, February 22.

Regarding the handling of the impact of the disaster, his party immediately distributed emergency response assistance to residents affected by the disaster.

"We immediately distributed logistical assistance such as rice, cooking oil and zinc to repair the roofs of houses blown by the wind," he said.

He said the condition of the four residents' houses might still be able to be occupied in an emergency for a while without the need to evacuate, while repairs were made to the roof of the house that was blown away by the wind.

"Because the only thing that was damaged was the roof of the house, maybe even if you evacuated to a family place for a while, for the two houses that were heavily damaged," he said.
