Six people were killed by floods and landslides that have hit a number of areas in West Sumatra in the past two days. Floods and landslides were caused by heavy rains that flushed in recent days.
"Heavy rains have occurred since the last few days. This is thought to be the cause," West Sumatra Provincial Government Public Relations Head Jasman Rizal told reporters on Thursday night (11/10/2018).
Jasman said three people were killed as a result of being dragged into a flash flood in Nagari Tanjung Bonai, Lintau Buo District, Tanah Datar Regency, on Thursday night. Then three others died from being buried in a landslide in Parik Malintang, Padang Pariaman Regency, the night before, Wednesday (10/10).
In addition to the death toll, four residents of Tanah Datar Regency were declared missing by the flood. Search is still ongoing.
According to the Head of BPBD Emergency Division, West Sumatra Province Rumainur, floods and landslides hit a number of areas in West Sumatra. BPBD officers and Basarnas are trying to evacuate residents trapped in floods in various regions in West Sumatra.
Based on the records of the West Sumatra BPBD, there were six areas that were struck by the disaster, namely the City of Sawahlunto, the District of Lima Puluh Kota, Pasaman, Pesisir Selatan, Kabupaten Pasaman Barat, Tanah Datar, and Padang Pariaman.
