Flooding since Sunday, around 20:00 pm leaving thousands of homes across the region almost submerged. Even in some areas, flooding is quite large, so people had to be evacuated to higher locations, including mosques and religious assemblies.
"Almost all Nagara sub-District residents evacuated to the area of Kandangan direction, because the water level in the area reached one meter, even more," said Fathur, rescue team members in Kandangan, HSS District capital, Monday (8/4).
According to Fathur, the flood came suddenly and very quickly, so most people do not have time to save their belongings. Residents directly went outdoors without bringing any equipment.
Flood this time is the biggest in recent years, because almost all HSS submerged, except that there are upland areas, such as Loksado and others.
" No flood in the upland areas, but landslides at some points, so residents must remain vigilant," he said.
In addition to soaking housing and roads, as well as offices, floods also caused the suspension bridge at Kandangan Ulu broke it ropes and almost swept away. These conditions make the access disconnected and people could not perform activities as usual.
Floods that inundated parts of HSS, making paralyzed the activities of people in the offices, markets, and even educational activities.
Most of the government activity is also focused on helping the flood victims. Expected, the water will continue to rise, because the current weather in the area was still drizzling.
