Lampung, Indonesia Sentinel — Heavy rains that have pounded Indonesia’s Lampung Province since Friday, January 17, 2025, have caused widespread flooding, submerging homes and blocking major roads. The intense rainfall has left multiple areas inundated, with some regions hit harder than others.

Wakhidi, the head of the Bandar Lampung Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), confirmed receiving numerous reports about the floods. Data released by the Provincial Disaster Mitigation Center (Pusdalops PB) indicated that 19 locations in Bandar Lampung were affected, with the Way Lunik area and RE Martadinata Street experiencing the worst conditions.

According to report from CNN Indonesia, heavy rainfall across Bandar Lampung began around 3:00 p.m. local time, with flooding starting less than an hour later. Residents living near rivers reported that their homes were quickly inundated, prompting evacuations to safer locations.

Flooding in Way Lunik, Panjang District, which is considered to be the worst affected area, has reportedly submerged residents’ houses to the point where the water level almost reaches the ceiling.

Floodwaters also caused severe disruptions along the Southern Sumatra Highway (Jalinsum), particularly in Way Lunik, where the bypass connecting Panjang and Rajabasa was rendered impassable. The strong currents paralyzed traffic, leaving smaller vehicles especially vulnerable. Report said several cars and motorcycles were swept away by the surging waters.

Casualties and Ongoing Search Efforts

Provincial Disaster Mitigation Center reported casualties, including one fatality—a resident of RT 16, Panjang District—who was electrocuted during the floods. Another person was reported missing in Bandar Lampung, and search efforts are ongoing, according to report from Kumparan.

As of now, report on further casualties has not been released, as authorities are still assessing the current situation and the impact of the floods.

However, the full scope of the damage remains unclear. Wakhidi noted that data on the number of affected residents and regions is still being compiled. “There’s too much to account for right now. Our teams are focused on evacuating residents still trapped in the floods,” he explained.
