1. On 18 October, heavy rains caused a flash flood and a number of landslides, inundating an area in two sub-districts, Kecamatan Semadam and Kecamatan Bukit Tusam. Six villages are reported to have been affected. The flood and landslide carrying mud inundated about 400-500 houses, affecting 1,000 internally displaced persons. At least 5 people are reported dead. The Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) reported that the disaster seriously injured 68 people and slightly injured another 143.
2. Limited road access due to thick mud has created difficulties to quickly move the affected communities from their houses. There is no electricity and clean water in the affected villages. The road from Medan to Kutacane is open and accessible, and communication using mobile phone was reportedly possible in the affected area.
