Residents build independent shelters to anticipate flash floods

A resident, Ronandi (60), is installing a door in the self-built shelter at Korong Surantih Parak Pisang, Sungai Buluh Utara, Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra, on Friday (10/7/2026). Residents have chosen to construct a three-meter high rescue shelter with an area of 3 x 2 meters due to fears of another flash flood in the area, similar to the one that occurred in November 2025 as a result of collapsing riverbanks and high sedimentation.
