As a result, hundreds of residents were forced to flee. Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Bogor Regency, West Java, stated that 474 residents were successfully evacuated from the flash flood in Tugu Selatan Village, Puncak Area, Cisarua, Bogor.
"134 heads of families (KK) or 474 people have been successfully evacuated," said Secretary of the Bogor Regency BPBD Budi Pranowo.
Hundreds of victims of flash floods are now seeking refuge in mosques, which are not affected by the flood. Budi said the flash flood had damaged dozens of residents' houses and several access roads were impassable by vehicles.
Until now, he has not been able to confirm whether the victim or the victim was washed away by the overflowing river, because it is still in the process of being treated.
