SUKABUMI, INDONESIA — Torrential rains that lashed Sukabumi Regency on Monday (27 October 2025) triggered flash floods and landslides across several areas, leaving homes damaged and communities isolated.
According to data from the Sukabumi Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), at least 63 locations were affected, including the sub-districts of Cisolok and Cikakak. In response, DT Peduli Sukabumi swiftly mobilised to deliver emergency assistance to affected residents.
As an initial step, DT Peduli’s team conducted a field assessment in Cikahuripan Village, Cisolok Sub-district, to identify the most urgent needs of survivors. The team then distributed 26 packages of ready-to-eat meals through a public kitchen and provided basic food supplies, including rice, eggs, and cooking oil.
Beyond distributing aid, DT Peduli Sukabumi also initiated a community clean-up operation in Tugu Village, Cikahuripan, helping residents clear mud and debris from homes, roads, and public facilities.
One local resident, Dudun, recalled the terrifying moment when the flash flood struck his home:
“The water came so fast. My family and I had no time to save anything. Everything was swept away — even our clothes.”
Meanwhile, Gina Muharram, Program Officer of DT Peduli Sukabumi, stated that the team would continue to assist residents throughout the emergency response phase.
“We are also conducting further assessments in several areas that have not yet received aid to ensure a more equitable distribution of assistance,” she explained.
DT Peduli Sukabumi continues to coordinate closely with BPBD and other relevant agencies to expedite further relief distribution. Through the spirit of solidarity and community cooperation, the recovery process is expected to progress more rapidly — allowing affected families to return to their daily lives safely and with dignity.
