A housing complex located near Adventis Airport in Doyo, Sentani, Papua, is seen on March 18 after being hit by flash floods. A total of 72 residents died and 43 others were declared missing. The floods damaged hundreds of houses in the area.

It is necessary to change the attitude of the people and the government in responding to recurring natural disasters in a number of areas that have claimed lives and property.

Last week, landslides and flash floods struck in Central Bengkulu; Gresik, East Java; Pulau Sembilan, South Kalimantan; and across Sulawesi from north to south. Earlier, flash floods also affected people living downstream in Jeneberang, South Sulawesi, and Sentani, Papua.
