The Regional Disaster Management Agency of Trenggalek Regency, East Java, deployed three units of excavator-type heavy equipment to get rid of all landslide material that covered the Trenggalek-Bendung main route since Thursday night, April 19.

The Head of BPBD Trenggalek, Winai Atmono, as quoted from Antara, said that normalization efforts were maximized so that access for residents living in the city area of Bendungan District and around the foot of Mount Wilis would soon recover.

"We did it until the evening, and Alhamdulillah, the four landslide points that closed the road access to the city center of Bendungan sub-district were successfully removed," said Sapi.

Sacrificial, assisted by the sub-district head, Danramil and the police chief directly monitored the process of clearing landslide material until late at night.

Even when it rains with low intensity, it rains again. Three units of heavy equipment operated simultaneously continue to be moved to accelerate the normalization of the main lanes of the residents of the Dam, the majority of which are located on the slopes of Mount Wilis towards the land area, especially Trenggalek City.

After the mud, stone and wood/fallen tree materials were removed using heavy equipment, a number of fire engines were deployed to spray the streets from the rest of the mud so that vehicles could safely pass through them.

It is said that the volume of landslides at the second point is the largest.

The avalanche length reaches 25 meters, with an altitude of 15 meters and a width of 8 meters.

To open the pile of landslides, his party received the assistance of one unit of heavy equipment from the Bagong Dam national project.

The government plans to add heavy equipment to speed up evacuations.

His party acknowledged that the closed Trenggalek-Public Mobility Dam in the city of Bendungan District was almost paralyzed. Because the available alternative routes are only suitable for motorcycles.

"We urge residents, especially passing motorists to remain vigilant. Especially when it rains to avoid the risk of further landslides at landslide-prone points," he said.
