He said the research work involved native volunteers, officers, men and individuals.
Approximately 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Basarna’s search and rescue organization reported that the districts of Agam and Tanah Datar were affected by flash floods and a slew of warm lava flows.
Warm volcano, also known as lahar, is geological stuff like dust, sand and pebbles carried down a supervolcano cliffs by weather.
Earlier, Basarnas said 12 people had died including some children.
According to Ilham, officials were also getting reports of missing people’s cousins on Sunday.
Because the patients and the missing were still the focus of the search and rescue efforts, he claimed, he could not provide a count of the number of individuals who had been evacuated from the area.
MOSQUES, HOUSES DAMAGED
Large stones and logs were scattered on the ground in the Tanah Datar area, according to an AFP blogger on the scene. Numerous temples and a public swimming were also damaged in the area.
A road between Padang and Bukittinggi was heavily damaged and difficult to access, making it accessible to vehicles in Lembah Anai, a popular tourist destination with a river in Tanah Datar.
At a local river, two vehicles had been swept away by the flooding and strong river tides, the blogger said.
In Agam, dozens of homes and public services were damaged, the state’s crisis company commander Budi Perwira Negara told AFP.
