"A deadly surge of flash floods and landslides have struck Indonesia's Sumatra Island, leaving at least 84 dead, many missing and thousands displaced. Footage filmed in Solok on Friday shows floodwaters engulfing villages and farmlands, as military personnel assist locals fleeing to shelters. "We have deployed about two hundred military personnel to aid in flood disaster mitigation in the Solok area," said Lt. Col. Kav Sapta Raharja, commander of the Solok Military District Command. Head of Solok Regency Regional House of Representatives (DPRD, Ivoni Munir, is calling on President Prabowo Subianto to assist relief efforts in the area. "We are appealing for aid," he said. "We hope [the President] will immediately provide assistance, especially for primary needs, because some of our community members have had their homes destroyed." "Also, we need a follow-up action post-disaster to be able to rebuild, as hundreds of hectares of agricultural land have been destroyed in Solok," he added. On Friday, the Indonesian Navy deployed warships, helicopters and troops to deliver supplies and evacuate residents across North and West Sumatra, where severe flooding and landslides continue to expand into new areas. The Solok Regency Government has declared a 14-day hydrometeorological disaster emergency, effective November 25, following days of uninterrupted rainfall. Officials say the designation is intended to accelerate relief, logistics and recovery operations as villages remain cut off by mud, debris and collapsed roads. According to the Aceh Disaster Management Agency, the floods have severely impacted North Aceh, Lhokseumawe, Bireuen, Central Aceh, Bener Meriah, Pidie and Pidie Jaya, affecting approximately 33,817 households. From October to March, seasonal rains regularly trigger floods and landslides across the archipelago's 17,000 islands, home to millions in mountainous terrain and low-lying flood-prone zones."
