Padang's Landslide 13/09



Beside the flash flood that hits one of the districts in the urban village of Batu Busuak, landslides also buried the West Sumatra city of Padang.

The landslides covered four houses, two people were found dead, while two are still in the search. The death toll was immidiately evacuated and taken to the funeral home to be buried the next day.

Novrizal, the head of Regional Disaster Management Agency of Padang proclaimed to evacuate the victims. Since the terraing was quite heavy and the road is narrow to reach the location, the evacuation was halted for quite a time.
