According to a report from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), there were 51 natural disasters in Indonesia during the period of July 1-7, 2024.

Head of BNPB's Data, Information, and Disaster Communication Center, Abdul Muhari, stated that this number of disasters increased compared to previous weeks.

"During the transition or dry season, the number of disasters with significant impacts in the last four weeks has never exceeded 30 incidents," said Abdul in a press conference on the BNPB YouTube channel, Tuesday (July 9, 2024).

In the first week of this month, floods dominated with 33 incidents, equivalent to 64% of the total national natural disasters.

However, based on predictions from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), almost 50% of Indonesia has entered the dry season.

"We are actually heading towards the peak of the dry season, July-August, but floods still dominate," said Abdul.

Then there were 6 extreme weather events, and 4 forest and land fires (karhutla).

"Even at the peak of the rainy season, it doesn't mean we don't have forest fires. These two contrasting hydrometeorological disasters are always present in every period," said Abdul.

In the first week of this month, there were also 3 landslides, 2 earthquakes, 2 droughts, and 1 high tide/abrasion.
