76 Disaster Points in Bali Following Three Days of Non-Stop Rain

The Bali Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has recorded 76 disaster points across the island due to extreme weather. Heavy rainfall has caused flooding, landslides, and fallen trees, impacting Denpasar and other regions. Authorities are monitoring the situation and evacuating affected residents, with no reports of casualties.

The Bali Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) recorded 76 disaster points due to extreme weather on the Island of the Gods. Heavy rain poured over several areas in Bali for three consecutive days and almost non-stop since Sunday (22/2).

The Head of the Bali BPBD, I Gede Agung Teja Bhusana Yadnya, said that the dozens of disaster points consisted of floods, landslides, and fallen trees. Teja detailed that floods were reported at 42 points, landslides (5), embankments collapsed (1), tornadoes (1), fallen trees (23), and retaining walls collapsed (4).

Of the total 76 incident points, almost half occurred in Denpasar and the rest were spread across seven other districts in Bali. Teja said that the very heavy rainfall also caused an increase in the water debit of rivers, including the Tukad Badung in the Pasar Badung area, Denpasar.

“The water level had reached an alert status, but currently the condition is gradually improving. Of course, we continue to carry out intensive monitoring through the early warning system and personnel in the field,” said Teja in his statement, Tuesday (24/2/2026).

The Flood Warning Alarm on Tukad Badung Sounds

It is known that the early warning system (EWS) alarm on Tukad Badung sounded at level 2 Alert or about 116 centimeters above the water surface, Tuesday early in the morning. Residents and traders are asked to be on alert in case of flooding due to rising river water levels.

Teja said that the Bali BPBD collaborated with the BPBD of districts/cities, the TNI/Police, and volunteers to evacuate residents affected by the disaster. As of 15.30 Wita, as many as 350 residents had been evacuated and temporarily displaced.

The Bali BPBD is still collecting data on damaged buildings and those flooded due to the non-stop rain. Teja emphasized that there were no reports of casualties or missing persons due to the extreme weather. He claimed that the impact of the bad weather that occurred in the last three days was still under control.

“Most of the incidents are local and have been handled. Some points are still in the process of being handled and we continue to monitor them periodically,” he added.

On the other hand, Teja said that the awareness of Balinese residents in maintaining environmental cleanliness has increased. According to him, this is evidenced by the small amount of garbage found at flood-affected locations.

“In most of the affected locations, the volume of garbage is relatively small. This helps minimize the impact of the puddles,” he concluded.

Several Tourists Evacuated

Meanwhile, floods also inundated the Jalan Dewi Sri area, Legian, Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali, since Tuesday early in the morning. The water began to rise around 04.00 Wita and continued to rise until it covered the entire road until yesterday afternoon.

The puddles as high as an adult’s waist made access from the north and south closed because vehicles could not pass. Until noon, the area was still paralyzed.

“Heavy rain from early morning around 3 am, the water started to rise. The rain didn’t stop,” said a Kuta resident, Made, when met at the location, Tuesday.

The floods caused by heavy rain for three consecutive days also affected a number of tourists who were on vacation in Bali. They appeared to wade through the floods just to get out of their accommodation.

A foreign tourist from Mexico, Hugo Rodriguez, said he joined a tour to experience the charm of Bali. However, the holiday situation, which was supposed to be pleasant, turned chaotic due to the floods.

“We joined a tour to learn about Bali, but everything looks chaotic because of the rain. We were planning to go to the beach just to take a look,” said Hugo.

The same situation occurred on Jalan Campuhan, Jalan Dewi Sri IV, Grand Dewi Sri, and Jalan Nakula V, Kuta District. Drivers were forced to turn around because the route to Imam Bonjol, Sunset Road, and Jalan Raya Kuta could not be accessed via Dewi Sri.

Not only in the Kuta area, floods also inundated the Jalan Bumiayu area, Sanur, Denpasar. A number of tourists were evacuated from hotels and villas where they stayed due to puddles of water that had flooded residential areas since Sunday (22/2) night.

The water began to rise around 22.00 Wita and reached its peak at 01.00 Wita, Tuesday. The puddles lasted until morning and flooded houses and lodgings.

Five Flights Affected

Extreme weather in Bali has affected a number of flights at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport. Communication and Legal Division Head of PT Angkasa Pura I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Gede Eka Sandi Asmadi, recorded that as many as five flights were affected by bad weather as of 15.30 Wita on Tuesday.

“PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia as the airport manager always coordinates with related agencies, namely BMKG and AirNav Indonesia to continue monitoring weather developments in the airport area, in order to ensure the safety and security of passengers in the operational activities of the airport,” said Eka Sandi in his statement, Tuesday.

Eka explained that the five flights affected by extreme weather at Ngurah Rai Airport consisted of two arrival planes and three departure planes. Meanwhile, Cebu Pacific with flight number 5J 281 from Manila-Denpasar was diverted to Makassar at 00.12 Wita. The flight only landed at Ngurah Rai Airport at 05.40 Wita.
