        "content": "<p>The Central Sulawesi Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has\nreported that two villages, Mataue and Boladangko, in the Kulawi\nDistrict, remain isolated following recent flooding.<\/p>\n<p>Asbudianto, the Head of the Central Sulawesi BPBD, stated that a\nbridge connecting Bolapapu Village (Dusun 1) to Mataue Village (Dusun 2)\nhas been severed. Currently, the area is only accessible on foot,\nsignificantly hindering the activities of 30 households in Dusun 2. The\nisolated group includes 16 vulnerable individuals, comprising four\ntoddlers, nine elderly persons, and three people with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>While there have been no reported fatalities or displaced persons,\nthere is an urgent need for heavy equipment to clear flood debris and to\nconstruct an emergency bridge and gabions. Local officials in Boladangko\nand residents have begun cleaning debris independently to restore normal\nactivity.<\/p>\n<p>The Regent of Sigi, Moh Rizal Intjenae, has instructed the Head of\nthe Public Works Department and the local BPBD to prioritise clearing\nthe flood materials. He also confirmed that heavy machinery has been\nrequested to build an emergency bridge and install gabions in Kulawi to\nprevent further damage from potential subsequent floods.<\/p>\n<p>The flooding occurred in the early hours of Sunday (17\/5) due to\nrising river levels in Mataue and Boladangko villages, which ultimately\ncaused the collapse of the connecting bridge.<\/p>",
