JAKARTA - Heavy rains made waterways overflow and flooded residential areas in Pesaku Village, West Dolo District, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, on Saturday.

Head of the Emergency Division of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Central Sulawesi Province Andy Sembiring said that the flood had affected at least 10 families in the village.

"The intensity of the rain is high enough that the drainage is unable to accommodate a lot of water, causing water to overflow into residential areas," he said when contacted from Palu City.

"The situation at the end of the drizzle is still ongoing and the overflowing water is starting to recede. We pray that the flooding will be resolved as soon as possible," he added, quoted from ANTARA, March 12.

Andy said that the BPBD Central Sulawesi and Sigi Regency rapid response teams were still collecting data on the impact of the flood and helping residents whose houses were flooded.
