PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Two Pusdalops PB teams from the West Java Provincial BPBD immediately went to the flood location in Bandung Regency, Thursday (11/21/2024). The flood itself began at 16.30 WIB.

The team led by the Head of Emergency and Logistics Division Bambang Imanudin, headed to Panyadap Village, Solokan Jeruk District. Meanwhile, the other team headed to the BNI intersection area in Majalaya District.

The West Java Provincial BPBD coordinated with the Bandung Regency BPBD. The two teams from the West Java Provincial BPBD immediately departed for assessment assistance while bringing rubber boats.

Acting Head of West Java BPBD Anne Hermadianne Adnan said, from the results of the field team's monitoring, at the BNI Majalaya intersection, the water has receded. Meanwhile, the embankment of the Cisunggala River, a tributary of the Citarik River, broke in Panyadap Village, Solokan Jeruk District.

"Preliminary data shows that the incident resulted in three houses being damaged and four residents being injured. Bambang also visited the injured victims," said Anne Hermadianne, Thursday (11/21/2024).

According to Anne, the cause of the flooding that occurred in Kampung Puja RT03/02 and RT 01/03 Panyadap Village, Solokan Jeruk District, was due to high intensity rain.
