Construction of Phase Two Temporary Housing in West Aceh Completed 100 Percent
Meulaboh (ANTARA) - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of West Aceh Regency has confirmed that the construction of six temporary housing units (huntara) in the second phase at Lawet Village in the regency has been completed 100 percent.
“Although the buildings are ready to be occupied with adequate electricity and water facilities, the process of mobilising the community and distributing logistics is still hindered by weather factors and geographical access,” said Acting Head of BPBD West Aceh Regency Teuku Ronald Nehdiansyah in Meulaboh on Tuesday.
Teuku Ronald stated that the six huntara units will eventually be occupied by six families of flood victims, who are currently staying with relatives after their homes were severely damaged by the natural disaster that occurred on 26 November 2025.
“Alhamdulillah, electricity and water are already available, the buildings are also complete and very ready to be occupied,” he said.
Teuku Ronald mentioned that the total number of huntara units built by BNPB in West Aceh Regency is 12 units, spread across two locations: six units in Jambak Village, Pante Ceureumen Subdistrict, and six units in Lawet Village, Pante Ceureumen Subdistrict.
“The huntara in Jambak Village is currently occupied by the community,” he said.
As for the huntara in Lawet Village, he said, it is currently awaiting the community mobilisation process. Although the infrastructure is ready, the main challenge at present is access to the huntara location in Lawet Village, Pante Ceureumen Subdistrict, which requires crossing a river.
The latest report indicates that the river’s water flow is currently high, so the delivery of essential goods and the mobilisation of residents cannot yet be carried out for safety reasons.
“We are continuously monitoring the weather conditions. The distribution of logistics and the relocation of the community to the Lawet huntara will be carried out as soon as the river’s water level decreases and the road access becomes safe to pass,” said Teuku Ronald Nehdiansyah.
