Brilio.net/en - Heavy rain that hit Bandung last week led to a two-hour flood that swept several main roads of the city, especially the Pasteur area.
The water began to overflow at around 2:30 p.m. local time and the cause of the flooding remains unclear.
According to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), the city itself still has no Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD).
"West Java BPBD along with other elements such as the military, police, Tagana, SKPD and volunteers are still collecting data. Bandung City Government has so far not formed a BPBD," said the BNPB Head of Data Information and Public Relations, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho through a press release, Monday.
People are suggested to improve preparedness against floods and landslides. According to Sutopo, BMKG predicted rainfall will continue.
Here are some photos and videos from the scene retrieved from twitter with the hashtag #pasteur, Monday.
