Receiving the report, Humbahas Police personnel together with a joint team from the Humbang Hasundutan Regency Government, BPBD, TNI and SAR volunteers immediately moved to the location.

He added that as a result of this incident, initially 11 people were reported missing.Eight residents’ houses were damaged and some were carried away by soil material, while one car was swept away by the flood currents.
“There were 11 victims, after a search was carried out, 6 people were found, 2 of them died, 4 others were seriously injured. So currently 5 more residents are still being searched for,” said Police Commissioner Manson.
Until now, the search process is still hampered by high rainfall, unstable soil conditions, and water flows that increase at any time.This situation makes the joint team have to work extra carefully.
“The search for the 5 residents who have not been found cannot be carried out optimally because conditions in the field are not yet possible. We remain alert and will continue the search as soon as the situation allows,” he added.
