    Flash Floods And Landslides Hit Natural Tourism Areas

    A resident watches damaged houses and fallen trees from a bridge after a flash flood and landslide hit Mekarbuana village, Karawang district, West Java, on November 20, 2024. Flash floods and landslides hit Mekarbuana village, a natural tourist area with many villas and inns in Karawang, West Java, on November 19, 2024, after heavy rains fall for more than 2 hours. Although there are no fatalities, the disaster causes a number of stalls to be swept away by the water, dozens of residents' houses to be damaged, and a number of roads to be cut off by landslides. The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) appeals to the public to be vigilant and careful when choosing a vacation location, especially nature tourism, considering that Indonesia enters a change of season from summer to rainy season, and the La Nina phenomenon causes a high potential for natural disasters in a number of areas, especially those that are disaster-prone areas.
