Bali Floods Kill 14 as Waters Recede, Searches Continue

BMKG links the deluge to an atmospheric Rossby wave, with authorities shifting to search operations.

Overview

  • Officials report 14 fatalities on Bali and at least four more in East Nusa Tenggara, with two people still missing in Denpasar and additional missing reported on Flores.
  • Rain has eased and water levels are receding across affected areas, with more than 500 evacuees sheltering in schools and mosques as cleanup accelerates.
  • Two building collapses in Denpasar accounted for four of the deaths, while floods and landslides damaged roads, bridges and markets across multiple districts.
  • Road access to Ngurah Rai International Airport was flooded, limiting vehicles at times, though flights have largely continued operating.
  • Hundreds of rescuers, soldiers and police are deployed to searches, pumping and debris clearing, as Denpasar’s mayor declares an emergency and the president orders faster relief.
