Landslides in Indonesia

Flash flooding and landslides throughout a remote area in Indonesia, Wasior,  has killed at least 29 people.  Another example of LDC response to disaster as rescuers has a difficult time getting into the region and the local people are still sifting through the rubble trying to find survivors.  The mudslide was very unexpected as one resident noted 'Water mixed with rocks, mud and logs gushed out... Many people didn't have time to save themselves.'  Water over most roadways has prevented rescue and the region has also been hit by blackouts and townpower lines which leaves communication for help far more difficult.  Thousands have had to leave their homes with hundreds of homes damaged and a reported 30 completely gone.  Tents and medical supplies are needed but with lack of roadways and communication it may be hard to get them in fast enough.  Landslides and flooding are reported to kill dozens every year in the vast array of Indonesian Islands.
