        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has\nconfirmed that efforts to normalise the dikes and to restore the living\nenvironment of residents affected by the floods in Aceh Tenggara\nRegency, Aceh, are being accelerated as floodwaters begin to recede\ngradually. Abdul Muhari, head of BNPB\u2019s Data, Information, and Disaster\nCommunications Centre, said in a Jakarta briefing on Friday that the\nresponse and recovery process continues even as the flood situation\nshows signs of improvement. The floods were caused earlier by an\nincrease in discharge from the Lawe Kisam and Lawe Kinga rivers since\nWednesday afternoon (20 May), which led to water overflowing into\nseveral residential areas. According to Abdul, the main focus of\nresponse at present is to accelerate the normalisation of the dikes and\nenvironmental rehabilitation so that residents can quickly return to\nnormal activities. In this regard, the Aceh Tenggara Regency BPBD has\ndeployed two pieces of heavy equipment to the affected sites in Deleng\nPokhkisen District and in the Lawe Sumur and Bambel areas to expedite\nthe dike normalisation process and reopen access that had been affected\nby flood debris. This step is being taken as a mitigation measure to\nanticipate possible further overflows should rainfall intensity increase\nin the area. In addition, the Aceh Tenggara Regency Disaster Response\nTeam (TRC) is still conducting rapid assessments, compiling data on\ndamage to residents\u2019 homes, and monitoring conditions of people in three\nsub-districts and nine villages affected. Preliminary data indicate 991\npeople from 252 households were affected by the floods. Material losses\ninclude three houses with minor damage and 249 other houses affected by\ninundation. BNPB also notes that communities have begun cleaning houses\nand public facilities through mutual cooperation with BPBD staff and\nfire and rescue personnel, while basic needs such as clean water are\nbeing distributed by PDAM Tirta Agara to assist residents\u2019 recovery\nafter the floods.<\/p>",
