PASAMAN BARAT - Dozens of temporary housing units for earthquake victims in Nagari Kajai, West Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra were damaged by strong winds that hit the area.
"Currently, the team is still validating data on the damage to temporary shelters for earthquake victims and residents' houses due to the strong winds," said Talamau sub-district head Andre Affandi at Simpang Empat, quoted by Antara, Saturday, May 28.
From initial data in Jorong Tanjung Beruang there are about 12 housing units, in Rimbo Batu five units and a number of other points in Pasa Lamo, Kampung Alang, Lubuak Sariak, Limpato, Timbo Abu, and Mudiak Simpang.
"Some of the residents whose houses were damaged or whose temporary housing was damaged took a ride in a neighbor's house which was not affected by strong winds," said Andre.
According to him, the team from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has been at the location since Saturday afternoon to provide assistance with the sub-district and nagari parties.
Strong winds that hit the area on Saturday afternoon caused the roofs of many residents' houses to be damaged and temporary shelters for earthquake victims were also damaged.
Moreover, he said, in Nagari Kajai currently many residents use temporary housing, because their houses were damaged by the earthquake on February 25 last.
"Hopefully there will be no more strong winds, so that residents in Nagari Kajai will not feel anxious anymore, especially for temporary residential houses made of tarpaulin," continued Andre.
A resident of Kajai Andi (38) said that as a result of the strong winds, many houses and temporary shelters for earthquake victims were damaged.
"Many residents are sleeping in their neighbors' houses and hopefully there will be no more disasters," he hoped.
