Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator's Office in Jakarta.
SOUTH SULAWESI PROVINCE
I. SITUATION
1. Torrential rains lasting a three-day period starting Monday (18 June)
triggered flash floods in South Sulawesi Province. The Provincial
Coordinating Unit for the Management of Disaster (SATKORLAK PB) in South
Sulawesi reported (20 June) that flash floods with a height ranging
between one and two meters hit eight districts (Sinjai, Jeneponto,
Bulukumba, Bantaeng, Luwu Utara, Bone, Gowa, and Sidrap) midnight
Monday. Two districts, Gowa and Sidrap were also hit by landslides. The
worst affected area is Sinjai District. Little is known about the
condition of the survivors in the mountains as mudslides had blocked
road access to the region. The floods and landslides have damaged
hundreds of houses, inundated rice fields and caused fishponds to
overflow.
2. According to SATKORLAK PB South Sulawesi, floods have also affected
Soppeng District. The estimated total loss due to flashfloods and
landslides has reached Rp.519 billion (USD 55.2 million).
