The central government is preparing about 35 excavators for areas at risk of follow-on flooding as heavy rain continues.
Home Affairs Minister Muhammad Tito Karnavian handed over post-disaster recovery aid in Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh, while inspecting flood-hit areas on Tuesday, November 10. The aid included portable fire pumps and support equipment to clear mud and flood debris from public facilities and residents' homes. Tito, who also leads the Sumatra Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Acceleration Task Force, said the central government has allocated funds to procure about 35 excavators for areas prone to follow-on flooding. The aid was handed over when he visited Masjid Giok ahead of President Prabowo Subianto's visit to Nagan Raya.
