The average water level reaches more than 1.5 meters, so people have no choice, other than to evacuate to public places, one of which is meunasah. The flood also submerged four school buildings and community farms. Until now, the water is still inundated community settlements. Meanwhile, inter-district roads have begun to recede.
The floods that submerged North Aceh today have begun to gradually recede. However, residents living in the area around the embankment are still staying in the refugee camps for fear of further flooding. Even though the flood has receded, residents have not returned to their homes because of the location of their houses on the banks of the river, so they are prone to being hit by another flood.
The sub-district roads were also inundated and in the body of the road the water was between 30 to 50 centimeters. Road users who want to pass, are forced to slow down their vehicle, and queue to avoid water entering the engine of both two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles.
Meanwhile, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) of Malikussaleh Lhokseumawe Station reminded people in North Aceh to be aware of flooding following the potential for rain in the next few days. Moderate to heavy rain accompanied by lightning and strong winds in the late afternoon and evening has the potential to occur in North Aceh Regency and its surroundings, including Lhokseumawe City and Bener Meriah Regency.
The potential for high rainfall can cause a number of rivers to overflow so that they submerge residential areas and community agricultural areas. In addition to flooding, he said, heavy rains also have the potential to cause landslides and the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency appealed to the public not to be careless and remain alert to potential natural disasters such as floods and landslides. We also ask the community to increase mitigation to reduce the impact if a disaster occurs.
