SOLOK, thekabarnews.com—Rescue authorities have ended their search operation after finding the last person reported missing following a flash flood in Arosuka, Solok Regency, West Sumatra, raising the confirmed death toll to two.

The joint search team found the victim dead on Friday, September 25. Authorities identified the two fatalities by the initials DA, 21, and A, 59.

“After all reported missing people were found, the search operation ended and teams shifted their focus to cleanup and recovery,” acting BNPB disaster data and communications head Berton S.P. Panjaitan said in a statement reported on Saturday, September 26.

The disaster struck at about 7:45 p.m. on Monday, September 21, after heavy rain fell over Solok Regency. Rising water in several channels, including the Batang Laso River, coincided with a landslide on a hill near the river system.

The resulting flow carried water, mud and rocks into the Solok regency administration office complex and nearby residential areas. Debris also reached the Solok–Padang highway, disrupting access through Arosuka.

A BMKG analysis confirmed that heavy rain had affected Gunung Talang since the afternoon. The agency issued successive severe-weather warnings for West Sumatra between 5:40 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. that day.

Four other residents suffered injuries. Authorities classified three residents’ injuries as minor, while medical staff treated a seriously injured resident before transferring them to a hospital in Padang.

The latest assessment listed 98 affected homes. Nineteen sustained severe damage, while 16 suffered moderate damage. Officials classified 52 homes as lightly damaged, with the remainder flooded or considered at risk.

The disaster affected 12 government buildings and severely damaged six of them. Two bridges and five road sections need repair.

The flood damaged water pipelines supplying water to five housing complexes. Authorities have deployed water tanks as repairs are underway.

Around 480 residents stayed at official residences, mosques and other temporary sites, while others found accommodation on their own. Field teams are still adjusting those figures as they reconcile damage reports with civil registration data.

Agricultural losses covered an estimated 57 hectares, including 42 hectares of rice fields. The disaster damaged seven cars, while officials continued counting the affected motorcycles.

The revised figures are higher than BNPB’s preliminary assessment on September 24, which recorded 474 displaced residents and 44 damaged homes. The difference reflects the continuing verification process rather than a separate disaster.

BNPB has supplied food, family kits and protective equipment through its ready-to-use emergency fund.

Solok authorities aim to complete an estimate of temporary-housing requirements by September 28, prioritizing families whose homes are unsafe.

Vice President Gibran Rakabuming visited the affected area on Friday and asked officials to accelerate repairs to the Arosuka Bridge and other public facilities.

“The priority now is to restore the main access and ensure that the roads used by residents are safe,” he said, as quoted by the Solok regency administration.

With the search complete, the emergency response now centers on restoring electricity and clean water while arranging safer temporary accommodation.

Authorities will also prepare a post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction plan based on updated technical and risk assessments.
