At least 2,245 residents in Bekasi\nRegency, West Java, and Klaten Regency, Central Java, are experiencing\ndifficulties obtaining clean water.<\/p>\n<p>In its disaster report for the period 15 June 2026 at 07.00 WIB to 16\nJune 2026 at 07.00 WIB, BNPB stated that dry hydrometeorological\ndisasters are starting to emerge in several areas, alongside ongoing\nfloods and forest and land fires (karhutla).<\/p>\n<p>In Bekasi Regency, drought has hit Ridogalih Village, Cibarusah\nDistrict, after the area received no rain for approximately the last\nmonth up to Monday (15\/6). As a result, 296 families, or around 800\npeople, are experiencing difficulties obtaining clean water for their\ndaily needs. In response, the Bekasi Regency Regional Disaster\nManagement Agency (BPBD) has distributed clean water aid to affected\nresidents. BNPB stated that water distribution will continue until all\ncommunity needs are met.<\/p>\n<p>Similar conditions have also occurred in Klaten Regency, Central\nJava. The drought, which has lasted throughout June, has affected three\nvillages in Kemalang District: Kendalsari, Tegalmulyo, and Tlogowatu.\nBNPB recorded that 393 families, or 1,445 people, have been affected by\nthe drought and are experiencing difficulties accessing clean water.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the drought, BNPB also recorded flooding in Murung\nRaya Regency, Central Kalimantan, on Monday (15\/6). The flood affected\n44 families, or 278 people, with 36 of them forced to evacuate. Affected\nareas include Kalasin Village, Beriwit Village, Bahitom Village, Muara\nJoloi II Village, and Tumbang Lahung Village.
