Abstract:
This podcast episode examines the rare and devastating floods that struck Sumatra between 21 and 30 November, bringing together experts from the Bandung Institute of Technology to explain the event from meteorological and disaster risk perspectives. The discussion explains how a tropical disturbance that first formed on 21 November developed into an unusually rare cyclone near the equator, peaked around 25 November, and produced extreme rainfall across Aceh, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra. While the cyclone acted as the immediate trigger, the speakers emphasize that long standing vulnerabilities, including deforestation, land use change, settlement in floodplain areas, and limited disaster preparedness, significantly amplified the impacts. The episode concludes that although this cyclone was exceptional, flood risk in Indonesia is recurrent and likely to intensify with climate change, highlighting the urgent need for stronger spatial planning, effective early warning responses, improved community awareness, and sustained investment in disaster risk reduction.
