The floods damaged a number of houses in Bandarlampung City on January 17, and now the Bandarlampung City Government (Pemkot) said that the houses damaged by the floods would be repaired.

"Until now, we are still recording the houses of residents damaged due to flooding," said Bandarlampung Mayor Eva Dwiana in Bandarlampung, as reported by ANTARA, Sunday, January 26.

He also asked the sub-district and village heads to immediately calculate how many houses were damaged and the losses suffered so that their residences could be repaired as soon as possible.

"We have created a team chaired by the Regional Secretary and Bandarlampung City Assistants in 20 sub-districts. We hope that the team can work optimally and focus on building damaged houses," he said.

However, Eva Dwiana emphasized that the houses of residents affected by the flood but the buildings above the river will not be rebuilt in their original location.

"In Waylunik, in Panjang District there is a house in the kitchen that is destroyed, but it is standing on the river. So this is not true," he said.

According to him, houses that are above the river or eating river channels are no longer justified because they can block the flow of water that can cause overflow.

"We will still build houses that are destroyed above the river. But you also ask that the location not be there again, later it will be discussed with the owner of the house," he said.

It is known that heavy rains that flushed Bandarlampung City on Friday (17/1) with high intensity and a long period of time affected a number of areas in the local city by the severe flooding.

Floods that hit areas in Bandarlampung have different heights and are at the lowest on the waist of adults.

The flood also made four-wheeled vehicles in Waylunik swept away by the flow of water. Even Yos Sudarso Street to Panjang District is difficult to pass by four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles.
