Update 3 Jul 2018 = Heavy rains have raised the Uru Creek water level and flooded Hpakant of Kachin State since Monday. Some wards and villages of the township have been flooded – there’s also flooding in Lonekhin and Hpakant bridges. Residents have been evacuated as floods worsen, according to the Township Information and Public Relations Department. Credit - Information and Public Relations Department ------------------------------- At least 11 people were killed in a flash flood in Hpakant township in Kachin State triggered by daylong heavy rains that loosened mountains of soil, a senior town official told The Myanmar Times on Sunday. U Kyaw Swa Aung, Hpakant township administrator, said at least 70 houses were destroyed in the landslides on Saturday. He said six people were injured in the accident. “Rainfall was high. People living in huts near the mountains and scavengers died in the landslide. Earth cuttings are piled randomly and recklessly here,” U Kyaw Swa Aung. “When it rains heavily, some places are blocked, At present, we are clearing the cuttings that blocked the ditches flowing into Uru creek.” U Kyaw Swa Aung said reddish-coloured watery mud rushed down the mountains and inundated the town. Residents are worried the muddy water could loosen the soil and cause landslides. Due to the extraction of jade in Hpakant, ten people died in one day as there is loose soil everywhere and locals are anxious because of the risk of it collapsing. Five people died from the floods between Soot Aung and Ma Mone village in Sate Mu village tract of Hpakant, and lakes formed at these locations as loose soil piled up to block the drains. This is evident of the environmental destruction of Hpakant, said U Nawng Latt, an executive of local environmental group Green Land. “People don’t do environmental related cases systematically. Besides, the Jade Law says the digging depth should not be over 30 feet. But people are actually digging up to 500 feet deep. The soil is dumped wherever they want. River tributaries are not maintained. We residents suffer anytime it rains,” said U Nawng Latt. Because of undisciplined jade digging in Hpakant since 2007, many forests and mountains were damaged and 23 creeks disappeared, he said. As the creeks disappeared, the water course changed and eroded soil mounds, said U Kyaw Swa Aung. “We are able to clear the ditches. If it rains more, the soil mountains will be eroded and may lead to landslides. Hpakant is a mining area, and the disposal of soil is not systematic. People are living in downtown areas by expanding and building on the mountains of earth. These places can collapse when it rains heavily. We are studying the places where landslides can happen,” said U Kyaw Swa Aung. “We will ask state officials to build retaining walls,” he said, adding that public awareness is critical to wards and villages that could suffer from landslides.

3 HEAVY PEOPLE AND 118 HOUSE DAMAGES DUE TO EARTHQUAKE 5.7 SR IN SARMI The tectonic earthquake with a strength of 5.7 SR shook the area of Sarmi Regency on 15/6/2018 at 07.57 WIB. BMKG reported the earthquake with epicenter located at coordinates 1.93 LS and 138.93 BT, or precisely located at sea near the coast at a distance of 67 km northwest of Sarmi, Papua Province at a depth of 10 km. Considering the location of the epicenter and the depth of the hypocenter, it appears that this umi gempab belongs to the shallow earthquake classification resulting from the subduction activity of the Pacific Plate in New Guinea Trench north of Jayapura. BMKG analysis results, the source mechanism indicates that this earthquake is triggered by tilting enlargement which is a commission between horizontal and upward movement (oblique-thrust). The earthquake is not a potential tsunami. People around Sarmi feel a strong shock for 2-3 seconds. People panicked and scattered outside the house. Temporary report from BPBD Kabupaten Sarmi there are 3 people seriously injured due to crashing house ruins. As many as 118 houses were damaged, 86 houses were severely damaged and 32 houses were slightly damaged. BPBD Kabupaten Sarmi deployed a rapid reaction team to collect data collection. The main obstacle is the distance and the road to the affected location is in a state of serious damage, making it difficult for rapid reaction teams to collect data and distribute aid. Distance between districts is far apart and access is limited. Data collection is still done by BPBD. BNPB posts continue to monitor and coordinate with BPBD Kabupaten Sarmi. @sutopopurwo Head of Information Data and Public Relations Center of BNPB # earthquake # earthquake
