Of this total, floods accounted for the largest share, at 49.42% of all disaster events, followed by extreme weather and forest and land fires (karhutla).

Below is the number of disaster events in Indonesia by type, according to BNPB data as of November 28, 2025, at 08:40 AM Western Indonesian Time (WIB):

Recently, several regions have reportedly experienced disasters, such as volcanic eruptions in East Java Province and floods to landslides in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra Provinces.

In Aceh Province, for instance, from November 18-27, 2025, the Aceh Disaster Management Agency (BPBA) reported that floods hit 16 regencies/cities.

These disasters affected at least 119,988 people, with 20,759 of them displaced.

“Most of these events are still triggered by high rainfall, strong winds, and unstable geological conditions, leading to floods, ground movement, and landslides,” as quoted from BPBA.
