This report has been prepared by the RC/HC Office in Indonesia based on information provided by the National Coordination Board for Disaster Management (BAKORNAS PB), the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), Act Forum Indonesia, Church World Service (CWS), and media reports. Recent heavy rains in Central Sulawesi Province have led to severe flooding and landslides.
I. SITUATION
1. BAKORNAS PB rectified its reported number of casualties and as of this afternoon, the death toll is at 45. BAKORNAS also noted that 378 IDPs remain in IDP camps established by the local government. OCHA staff in the field found that three IDP camps in Kolonedale (capital of Morowali district) are empty. Previously, IDPs had taken shelter in emergency tents set up by officials, while others were occupied in government buildings, mosques, churches and homes unaffected by the floodwaters.
2. CWS reported that telephone connections and electricity in the area have resumed. The rain stopped today in the affected areas. Some hamlets continue to be isolated, such as Uebangka in Pancamakmur village, where 45 households (324 people) received air drops relief assistance by helicopter. This hamlet of 9 km2 is inundated with water heights varying between 3 to 7 meters. In Bunta village, Petasia district, hectares of farming land were destroyed and residents are now facing a second harvest failure. Last April, floods also affected this area. The village head has highlighted the need for seeds and fertilizer to support their agricultural activities.
3. CWS reported that the 30 km road connecting Ueruru to Baturube (capital of North Bungku) is now passable.

The BAKORNAS PB Chief Executive Officer, the Head of Morowali District, and the SATKORLAK PB Central Sulawesi Head arrived in Baturebe on Friday 27 July and convened the first coordination meeting. The meeting was attended by government officials, Military, Police, PMI, CWS, and World Vision International (WVI). Three teams were formed (rescue, logistics, and rehabilitation) to accelerate up assistance to the affected population.
