A total of 4,088 families (KK) and thousands of hectares of agricultural land to the Bima Regent's Office complex were affected by flash floods and landslides that occurred in Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), last Monday.

"The data summarized so far, as many as 4,088 families, thousands of hectares of agricultural land and ponds have been affected. Even the Regent's Office and Grand Mosque complexes have also been submerged," said Head of Emergency and Logistics of the Bima Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) M Nurul Huda in Bima, Antara, Tuesday, January 21.

He said this flood caused 11 villages in six sub-districts in Bima Regency to be submerged. This flood was caused by heavy or high rainfall which was also accompanied by lightning and strong winds. "This condition took place from 14.45 WITA to before sunset," he said.

Huda said that this condition then caused flooding and landslides. BPBD Bima Regency continues to try to coordinate with sub-districts, police, Koramil, and local villages.

"The goal is for related parties to make observations, collect data and review quickly as well as disaster emergency handling of affected areas," he said.

He said he would continue to coordinate further with related agencies regarding the impact and handling and authority.

"The urgent needs are currently logistical assistance and clean water," he said.

He appealed to the entire community to remain alert to extreme weather and disasters that occurred such as flash floods, tornadoes, and landslides.

"Even if they find the impact of these disasters, they should immediately report directly to BPBD, sub-district head office, village office, Babinsa, and local Bhabinkamtibmas," he said.
