"The search and rescue process is ongoing, conducted by a joint SAR team consisting of various related elements. Safety and precision remain the top priorities in the evacuation process," said Abdullah.

The incident has garnered attention from the central government. Therefore, the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Suharyanto will directly review the emergency disaster response at the affected location on Friday evening. "As directed by President Prabowo Subianto, this visit carries the mission of ensuring that all emergency disaster response efforts are conducted optimally, integratively, and comprehensively," he stated.

Previously, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) through the Deputy for Emergency Management (Deputy 3) Budi Irawan and the Quick Reaction Team (TRC) had departed earlier to the affected location. Upon arrival, they immediately assessed the site and provided logistical support and equipment. Budi also led the initial coordination with relevant inter-agency stakeholders.

From the preliminary report, Suharyanto stated that search and rescue remains the top priority. There are 20 individuals who have not yet been found. They are suspected to be buried under the landslide debris.

The process involved approximately 200 personnel, including Basarnas, the Regional Disaster Management Agency, Tagana, PMI, TNI, Polri, and volunteers as well as local communities. These personnel were supported by logistical assistance and equipment, including heavy machinery and water pumps. "We hope that all missing residents can be found soon," said Suharyanto.
