Provincial BPBD reported 200 people displaced in Air Napal Subdistrict and Bang Haji Subdistrict in Genting Village with 417 people. BPBD and related agencies continue to provide refugee services in the sub-district.

Meanwhile, a total of 554 housing units were severely damaged (RB), 160 were moderately damaged (RS) and 511 were slightly damaged (RR).

YANGON (AFP) - Violent storms which saw hailstones the size of golf balls rain down across Myanmar have killed at least eight people in recent days, toppled pagodas and damaged thousands of buildings, officials said on Sunday (April 24). The freak storms struck across five states on Friday and Saturday after weeks of heatwave temperatures regularly topping 40deg C. "From what we know now there are eight people killed and 7,500 houses destroyed during these days," Phyu Lei Lei Tun, director of the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, told AFP, adding that the toll may increase as more information becomes available. Six of the victims died in Yay Tha Yauk village in the central region of Mandalay after flash flooding. Other regions that were struck included Sagaing and Magway as well as the states of Shan and Chin. Pictures and TV footage showed huge hailstones crashing onto flooded streets and clattering off metal roofs as residents rushed for shelter. "I felt afraid of the strong wind, the rain and the hailstones when I looked out the window," Yin Myo, a resident of Mandalay, told AFP. "Some hailstones were as large as golf balls, most about the size of ice cubes you put in drinks," she added, saying her aunt‘ house had been damaged. The state-run Global New Light of Myanmar said more than 1,700 pagodas were damaged by gale- force winds in the southern state of Shan on Friday night. Pictures on social media showed some of the pagoda spires, which were hundreds of years old, lying shattered on the ground. Like much of the Greater Mekong region, Myanmar has been hit by drought in recent weeks amid a particularly fierce dry season.

As informed earlier, the community situation was conducive several hours after the earthquake with a depth of 17 km. To this day (14/4), BPBD of Banggai Islands Regency has identified 1,986 people in 6 villages in Buko Selatan District and 400 others displaced in the An-Nur Trikora Mosque Complex, Salakan Village, Tinangkung District. Whereas in other districts, residents have returned to their homes. In Morowali District, 2 people suffered injuries while evacuating. Until Saturday (13/4) the Rapid Reaction Team in several affected districts continued to collect data and appealed to the community to return to their homes and ask residents to remain vigilant. This earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 shook the territory of Morowali, North Morowali and Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi. The earthquake had an epicenter at coordinates 1.89 LS and 122.57 BT, precisely in Tolo Bay, at a distance of 82 kilometers southwest of the Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi Province, with a depth of 17 kilometers. The Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said that taking into account the location of the epicenter and the depth of the hypocenter, this earthquake was a shallow type due to active fault activity. BMGK suspects that the fault structure that has become the earthquake generator is the Peleng Fault, whose route is southwest-oceanic on Peleng Island and continues to Tolo Bay.

JAKARTA - Flooding is not really a new thing for the community around the banks of the Citarum River in Bandung Regency, West Java Province. Moreover in Baleendah and Majalaya Subdistricts because in a year people can experience flooding around 10 times.

Medium to high intensity rainfall that has fallen since Wednesday 6/3/2019 has caused flooding in 12 villages / sub-districts in 10 sub-districts in Bandung Regency on 6/3/2019 until now.

Areas that are flooded are in the Districts of Dayeuhkolot, Baleendah, Bojongsoang, Rancaekek, Cileunyi, Majalaya, Banjaran, Cicalengka, Kutawaringin, and Ibun.

Floods are caused by overflow of the Citarum River and drainage that is not able to drain surface runoff. The flood height is between 40 cm to 280 cm.

A total of 22,105 HHs were affected by flooding:
• Baleendah District 5,271 households
• Sub-district. Dayeuhkolot 3,005 families.
• Bojongsoang District 2,370 households.
• Rancaekek Subdistrict 3.383 KK.
• Cileunyi District 3,373 households.
• Majalaya District 1,929 households.
• Banjaran District 2,414 households.
• Cicalengka District 85 families

Even though the floods were quite extensive and residents' houses were flooded, only 90 families / 283 people were displaced. Displacement of refugees as follows:
• Kec. Dayeuh collects 5 families / 17 people.
• Kec. Baleendah: 68 kk / 226 people.
• Kec. Bojongsoang: 17 families / 40 people.
Chronology:
As a result of the high intensity of rainfall since Wednesday (03/05/2019), the Ciatarum river is overflowing again.
BPBD TRC Kab. Bandung along with TNI, Polri, Basarnas, PMI, Tagana, SKPD, and volunteers evacuated victims. Assistance is channeled to refugees.
Repeated flooding in this area requires comprehensive handling of the Citarum watershed. Baleendah area and its surroundings are densely populated settlements and industries. The topographic condition is concave with the base of the Citarum River shallow due to sedimentation. Frequent flooding in settlements causes people to adapt to existing natural conditions. The community has prepared a boat and knows where they have to evacuate. There are rarely fatalities even though they are often flooded.
