Bandung Maps Flood and Landslide Risk, River Bank Residents Asked to Prepare Evacuation

BANDUNG, GARISBUMI.com – Residents living around river borders in Bandung City are asked to recognize the increase in water discharge and prepare evacuation plans for the rainy season. The Bandung City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) emphasized that community preparedness needs to go hand in hand with drainage maintenance to reduce disaster risk.

Bandung City BPBD Chief Executive Didi Ruswandi said his party had mapped areas prone to flooding, landslides and strong winds. According to him, the potential for landslides is generally in the northern region, with areas mentioned including Cidadap, Cibiru and Ujungberung.

Meanwhile, the potential for flooding is spread across the central to northern areas of Bandung City, both in the western and eastern parts.

"Know the characteristics of a river when it is about to overflow. Then, have a plan for where to evacuate and how to secure the assets," said Didi, as quoted by Diskominfo Bandung City.

Two landslides and a number of inundation points

In a statement delivered at Bandung City Hall on Monday (2/11/2026), Didi said that BPBD recorded two landslide incidents during the previous week.

One of them occurred in the Cikalintu area, which according to Didi has quite a big risk. Another incident was a cliff landslide in Cidadap with relatively limited impact.
