'We’re focusing on search efforts while coordinating evacuation for affected families,' said Abdul Malik, head of the provincial rescue team. Over 80 homes and 16 bridges were damaged as muddy waters swept through Tanah Datar regency, disrupting entire communities.
Indonesia’s disaster agency (BNPB) reported that heavy machinery has been deployed to clear roads blocked by landslides. The disaster—linked to seasonal monsoon patterns—highlights growing climate-related risks in vulnerable regions. No warnings were issued before the floods struck late Saturday.
