Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The  National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) reported that floods and landslides dominated disaster incidents nationwide over the past week, affecting multiple regions from West Java to eastern Indonesia. 

Heavy rainfall and unstable weather patterns triggered widespread hydrometeorological disasters, damaging homes, infrastructure, and displacing hundreds of families.

“Wet hydrometeorological hazards continue to dominate disaster events across Indonesia,” said BNPB Disaster Data and Information Center Head Abdul Muhari on Friday (16/1/2026), as cited by antaranews.com

The agency recorded landslides in Sukabumi, West Java, floods in Jember, East Java, Lombok Barat, West Nusa Tenggara, and Talaud Islands, North Sulawesi, as well as tornado-like winds in Situbondo and North Konawe. Affected areas reported hundreds of households impacted, with dozens of homes sustaining heavy to light damage.

Local disaster management agencies, supported by the police, military, and village authorities, have deployed rapid response teams to conduct evacuations, assessments, and distribute emergency aid. 

Abdul confirmed that most floodwaters have begun to recede, while monitoring and data updates continue.
