TRENGGALEK - SDN 2 Kertosono Building, Trenggalek Regency, East Java, is threatened with collapse after the cliffs below were eroded by landslides.
Head of BPBD Trenggalek Wingi Atmono in Trenggalek, said that the soil movement triggered by erosion of water during heavy rain occurred on Saturday afternoon and caused a loss of around Rp. 150 million.
In addition to classrooms and offices (lecturers' rooms), library buildings are also prone to being affected by soil movement if it rains again with high intensity.
"The landslide was caused by the swift flow of water that entered the school grounds due to the high rainfall that flushed the Panggul area and its surroundings,"villai was quoted as saying by ANTARA, Sunday, April 2.
To overcome this, residents assisted by joint officers worked together to close the waterway and dredge the foundations of the collapsed fence.
Teachers and students are advised to remain vigilant against the potential threat of further landslides.
"We advise to be more careful. The location of the landslide is close to the library room and far from the classroom. However, it is possible that everything can happen regarding subsequent landslides and so on," he said.

In addition to the high rainfall, from the results of the assessment, the high water discharge flowing in the yard was due to residents' activities that stemmed the ditch around the school to water plants in rice fields.
However, the water embankment broke, so it overflowed into the school yard and hit the fence with high pressure. School buildings in the highlands make landslides vulnerable.
"After the assessment, there was also a human error. There was a river that was dammed (the embankment was built) by residents and was not strong enough to hold water and burst, so water overflowed into the school grounds and landslides occurred which caused the school fence to collapse," he said.
