KEPRI - Strong winds occurred in Bintan Regency, Riau Islands (Kepri). As a result, a tree fell on a resident's house in Penghujan Village, Teluk Bintan District.

Ramlah said strong winds occurred on Tuesday, January 24, at around 06.30 WIB. Although it was damaged, strong winds did not cause any casualties.

"The roof of the front of the victim's house was damaged by a tree," said Head of the Bintan Ramlah Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in Bintan, Riau Islands, Tuesday, January 24, as reported by Antara.

He said the fallen tree was right in front of a resident's house named Zamani. The size is quite large and has many branches and dry branches.

After the fallen tree incident, said Ramlah, local village government officials immediately went to the scene to evacuate and collect data on the losses suffered by the victims.

"The victim only lived alone. The related parties also tried to help repair the victim's house which was damaged after being hit by a fallen tree," said Ramlah.

Ramlah appealed to residents to be more aware of the potential for extreme weather in the last few days, where rainfall accompanied by intense winds has occurred, especially on Bintan Island.

"Residents are more careful, especially those living in coastal areas. For fishermen who will go down to sea, maintain security and safety in the midst of extreme weather," he said.
