Solok flash flood causes fatalities and triggers massive reconstruction efforts

A devastating flash flood struck the Arosuka area in Solok Regency, West Sumatra, on the night of September 21, 2026. The disaster, triggered by heavy rainfall reaching 94 mm per day, caused significant damage to government offices, vehicles, and residential areas.

Search and rescue operations have confirmed one fatality, identified as 21-year-old Dafi Arrahman, while one individual, 59-year-old Agusral, remains missing. Several residents were injured and treated at local hospitals. The flood also displaced dozens of people and caused damage to multiple buildings.

While the main road connecting Solok and Padang was temporarily severed by debris, Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian reported that access has since been reopened. The government has initiated a recovery phase, with President Prabowo Subianto allocating approximately Rp38 trillion for disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation across 25 ministries and agencies. BMKG has warned that the potential for extreme weather and further heavy rainfall remains high in the region.
