SUKABUMI - Heavy rains that fell almost all day caused the land-retaining talu (TPT) of the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the Sukabumi City Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) on Jalan Baros, Sukabumi City, West Java to landslide on Sunday, November 6. "This landslide occurred because the TPT foundation was eroded by water from the Cisuda River plus soil contours that were increasingly unstable due to rain almost every day," said the Head of the Sukabumi City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Imran Wardhani, quoted by Antara, Sunday 6 November.

The landslide disaster was hit by the TPT Secretariat of the Sukabumi City PKS DPD. According to Imran, despite the landslide disaster in Limusnunggal Village, Cibeureum District did not cause damage to buildings or casualties, but his party was worried that this landslide would spread more and more. This is because the unstable soil conditions are coupled with the destruction of the TPT foundation by the Cisuda River water. So from preventing landslides from spreading, the disaster management officers deployed formed the most often and strengthened the foundation.

In addition, the Sukabumi City PKS DPD is advised to install wire gabions at landslide locations in anticipation of similar aftershocks. "Prevention of flooding due to the flow of the Cisuda River being blocked by avalanche material, we are also trying to evacuate rocks carried by landslides from the river," he added. Imran appealed to the public with extreme weather conditions that occurred in the last few days which were marked by heavy rain accompanied by wind and lightning, residents to always be vigilant. Then do not survive in disaster-prone locations or houses such as trees prone to falling, riverbanks and cliffs. It would be nice for residents living in that location to evacuate temporarily, if the potential for a disaster is high enough to anticipate casualties in the event of a disaster.
