inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police (INP) dispatched a humanitarian mission team to East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) to assist communities affected by the flash floods and landslides in Mauponggo District, Nagekeo Regency, NTT Province.
The disaster, which occurred last Sunday, resulted in 6 deaths, 3 missing, 5 seriously injured, and 10 slightly injured. Meanwhile, 37 families had to evacuate due to damage to their homes. In addition to residential areas, the disaster also damaged 66 rice fields and gardens, 16 roads, 6 bridges, 5 irrigation points, and cut off electricity and clean water networks.
To ease the burden on the community, INP has sent humanitarian aid through two transportation routes.
First, aid was dispatched by Aircraft CN295 in the form of 1,008 ready-to-eat food packages, 100 foam mattresses, 154 blankets, 50 solar cell lamps, and 5 20 Kva generators. This aid will later be handed over to the NTT Regional Police to be distributed to the affected community.
Secondly, aid was also sent by sea using KP. IBIS – 6001 which departed from Marina Harbor, Labuan Bajo, to Marapokot Harbor, Nagekeo Regency, on Monday (15/9/2025) at 17.00 WITA.
In addition to logistics and emergency electricity facilities, INP also prepared medicines and consumables (BHP) to support the health needs of residents affected by the disaster.
The Head of the Community Development Coordination Agency of INP, Inspector General Edy Murbowo, emphasized that this humanitarian mission was a concrete manifestation of the National Police's concern for the community.
"Hopefully, what we gave can ease the burden on the people affected by the disaster. We are also ensuring that affected police members also receive assistance so they can return to their duties and serve the community well," said Edy Murbowo.
He added that the aid sent is expected to meet the urgent needs of residents, particularly access to electricity, clean water, daily supplies, and emergency health services.
