“The house of the Deputy Mayor of Padang is also used as a temporary evacuation site,” he said.
Apart from that, there are temporary refugee locations, such as Parak Gadang, Musala Mustaqfirin, and Pemancingan Elementary School.
He said that at a number of flood points there were still those who needed assistance, such as in the Dadok Tunggul Hitam area and its surroundings.
“We together with the police, military and Basarnas carried out the evacuation and distributed logistical assistance,” he said.
In addition, four landslides occurred in the city of Padang in the Bukit Gado-Gado area.
“We have coordinated with the Public Works Service and related parties to bring heavy equipment for evacuation,” he said.
