A number of residents who were victims of landslides in Sukahurip Village, Pangatikan District, Garut Regency, West Java, received food and vitamin assistance. "Trials for countermeasures have been carried out, such as evacuating cars dragged from below as well as logistical assistance for residents," said Head of the Garut Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Satria Budi in Garut, Antara, Sunday, November 20. After receiving information about a landslide incident, the officers immediately dispatched them to deal with it and also evacuated a number of two and four-wheeled vehicles that were dragged by landslides. In addition, he continued, basic assistance such as food needs has also been distributed to help people affected by the disaster, as well as from related agencies to conduct studies on plans for assistance to repair houses. "Logistical assistance has been distributed, as well as a study from the Tarkim Office for housing problems, technically how it is in the relevant agencies," said Satria. In addition to the attention of BPBD, there was also assistance from PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) Area Karaha which distributed 50 packages of food needs and vitamin medicines to maintain public health. PGE Area Karaha Manager, Catur Hendro said that the basic food and health needs package that had been provided was a form of the company's concern for disaster victims and vulnerable groups around the disaster site. He conveyed that after receiving information about a natural disaster incident, his party immediately coordinated with the local village and regional governments to prepare the assistance needed by disaster victims. "Assistance is not the only time, this is a form of our commitment to maintain the synergy of the residents, and muspika," he said. He conveyed that Sukahurip Village is the ring of one operational area of PGE Area Karaha which has always been the target of distributing aid in the form of a CSR program or its sudden nature such as a disaster. "After we coordinated with the center, then we drove to the crime scene to distribute aid directly," said Catur. Sukahurip Village Head Asep Lukman expressed his gratitude for the attention of providing assistance to residents affected by natural disasters. The assistance provided from PGE, he said, will then be distributed to the community which is expected to help ease the burden on the lives of residents affected by natural disasters. "Of course, this assistance eases the burden on the community, we are very grateful," he said. He revealed that the disaster began when heavy rains and then there was a blockage of waterways which eventually destroyed building materials and caused landslides. The incident, he said, caused 10 houses to be affected, then some residents had to flee to relatives and neighbors' homes because their houses were damaged and threatened with landslides. "Some have fled to the homes of neighbors and relatives, some can still be occupied," he said. In addition to destroying residents' houses, he said, the disaster dragged and damaged two units of four-wheeled vehicles and seven two-wheeled vehicles, livestock, and plantation areas. He conveyed that this was the first time this had been caused by a blockage of waterways, and the condition of the house's buildings was around the cliffs. "In that area, it was only the first time, because there was a blockage of waterways, now they have been cleaned," he said.
