Flooding is a frequent disaster in Indonesia. The National Disaster Management Agency recorded 1,704 disasters between January and September 2016; 584 of these were floods, and 47 were floods accompanied by landslides.

Increased vigilance against the threat of disaster is necessary to prevent casualties. During the January-September 2016 period, disasters in Indonesia resulted in 411 deaths, 128 of which were caused by floods.

High rainfall and the decreasing amount of absorbent land are suspected to be the causes of the high number of flood disasters and casualties. Evictions and relocations have been implemented in several areas to mitigate this disaster.
