BANDUNG, Selasa (22/10) – Angin kencang terjang kecamatan Kertasari dan Pangalengan kabupaten Bandung sejak Minggu (20/11) sekitar pukul 21.00 WIB hingga Senin (21/10) pukul 14.00 WIB. Angin kencang dengan intensitas rendah ke tinggi terus menyapu Kecamatan Kertasari dan Pangalengan.
Dampak Dari kejadian ini sekira seribu rumah dan fasilitas umum mengalami kerusakan. Selain itu, angin kencang ini menumbangkan pohon sehingga menyebabkan akses jalan tertutup. Tidak hanya itu, sejumlah gardu listrik ikut tumbang dan mengakibatkan listrik mati di hampir seluruh wilayah terdampak.
Rumah Zakat Action merespons kejadian ini dengan menurunkan tujuh orang relawan pada hari Selasa (22/10). Akses menuju lokasi cukup sulit dilalui disebabkan kondisi jalan, padamnya penerangan, dan lemahnya jaringan internet. Tim relawan berkoordinasi dengan BPBD Kabupaten Bandung, kemudian menuju pengungsian di Desa Banjarsari Kecamatan Pangalengan dan menyediakan pos hangat. Esoknya, berpindah menuju lokasi pengungsian di Desa Neglawangi Kecamatan Kertasari dan menyediakan pos hangat serta membantu warga merapikan atap bangunan yang rusak berjatuhan disebabkan angin kencang.
Pada beberapa wilayah, gardu listrik sudah diperbaiki oleh petugas, namun di sebagian wilayah lain masih padam hingga Rabu malam. Meski demikian, pohon tumbang yang menghalangi jalan, sudah dipindahkan oleh tim gabungan dengan bantuan alat pemotong chainsaw.
Warga mulai kembali beraktivitas sejak hari Rabu, meskipun pada sore hari harus kembali menuju lokasi pengungsian di area masjid. Warga bersyukur tidak ada korban jiwa akibat kejadian ini.

BANDUNG, Tuesday (10/22) – Strong winds have hit Kertasari and Pangalengan districts of Bandung Regency on Sunday (11/20) around 21:00 West Indonesia Time until Monday (10/21) at 14:00 West Indonesia Time. Strong winds with low to high intensity continue to sweep Kertasari and Pangalengan Districts.
The impact of this incident is that about a thousand houses and public facilities were damaged. In addition, the strong winds uprooted trees, causing access roads to be blocked. Additionally, a number of electrical substations also collapsed and resulted in electricity down in almost all affected areas.
Rumah Zakat Action responded to this incident by sending seven volunteers on Tuesday (10/22). Access to locations is quite difficult due to road conditions, lighting outages, and weak network connection. The volunteer team coordinated with the Bandung Regency BPBD, then headed for the evacuation in Banjarsari Village, Pangalengan District and provided a warm post. The next day, the team moved to the evacuation site in Neglawangi Village, Kertasari Subdistrict and provided a warm post and helped residents tidy up the roof of the building which had fallen due to high winds.
In some areas, the electricity substation has been repaired by officers, but in some other areas, the electricity is still down until Wednesday night. However, the fallen tree blocking the road had been moved by the joint team with the help of a chain saw cutter.
The residents began to return to their activities since Wednesday, even though in the afternoon they had to return to the refugee location in the mosque area. Residents are grateful there were no casualties due to this incident.
