The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) said there were four sub-districts in Palangka Raya City that were affected by flooding until Monday, December 11.

Head of the Prevention and Preparedness Division of BPBD Palangka Raya City Heri Fauzi said, of the four sub-districts, 16 sub-districts were affected by flooding due to the overflow of the Kahayan and Rungan rivers.

"Of the 30 urban villages, 16 urban villages were affected by flooding, such as Bantrung Village, Tumbang Tahai, Marang, Tangkiling, Palangka, Bukit Tunggal, Petuk Katimpun, Tumbang Rungan, Pahandut Seberang, Pahandut, Tanjung Pinang, Langkai, Danau Tundai, Kameloh Baru, Bereng Bengkel and Kalampangan," said Heri in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan (Kalteng), Tuesday 12 December, confiscated by Antara.

For the latest conditions, he said, there was a decrease in the flood water level between 7-15 centimeters in a number of sub-districts, except in the Lake Tundai sub-district where the water condition was still standing.

"For Kameloh Baru Village, Bereng Bengkel, Kalampangan and Lake Tundai, the condition of the water survives the impact of the tide in the Pulang Pisau area, so the decrease in water discharge in these urban villages will be slow," he said.

Heri also informed that of the 16 sub-districts as many as two families, two houses, and a total of eight people were flooded. They are in Danau Tundai Village, which is currently in a state of survival water and there are no signs of a decline.

"Meanwhile, there are no residents whose houses have been submerged in water due to the flood disaster from the overflowing river around the settlement," said Heri.
