"The evacuees were accommodated in 15 refugee centers," a spokesman of the Bima city administration Syahrial Nuryadin said here on Monday.
The people are accommodated in a number of mosques and the office of the city mayor and other public places, Syahrial said.
"The city authorities are busy helping the evacuation while organizing distribution of food for the displaced people," he said.
The hardest hit by the flood are five sub-district areas including Kumbe, Dodu, Nungga, Kodo and Raba.
Heavy downpour upstream brought the disaster to those areas with rivers of Padolo and Salo overflowing their banks inundating villages and rice fields.
Flood waters also stormed into the city of Bima putting five sub-district in the city under water including.
Some of the evacuees returned home on Monday after the flood waters began to recede, Syahrial said.
Reports and landslides have also come from a number of other regions under the erratic weather hitting the country lately.(*)
