Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra provinces were hit by floods and landslides in late November 2025.

According to data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), as of December 4, 2025, the disaster resulted in at least 776 deaths, 564 missing persons, and 2.6 thousand injured.

These three provinces are always hit by dozens to hundreds of natural disasters every year.

Based on BNPB data compiled by Databoks, during the 2015-2024 period, Aceh experienced between 85 and 381 natural disaster events per year.

This figure is a combination of floods, landslides, extreme weather, tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, forest fires, and droughts.

North Sumatra then experienced between 63 and 361 disaster events per year during the 2015-2024 period.

Meanwhile, in West Sumatra, disasters ranged from 62 to 246 events per year, with fluctuations as shown in the graph.

This data indicates that Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra provinces always face disaster risk.

Historical data on the number of natural disasters in other Indonesian provinces can be accessed in Data Series Databoks.
