"Today's information shows that the death toll increases by one, bringing the tally to two," Abdul Muhari, a spokesman of BNPB, noted in a press statement here on Monday.
In addition, the Regional Disaster Mitigation Office (BPBD) of Jember reported that one resident was reported missing due to flooding, he added.
Floods submerged the villages of Kaliwates, Sempusari, and Mangli in Kaliwates Sub-district; Rambi Puji and Ramigundam villages in Rambi Puji Sub-district; and Kemiri and Suci villages in Panti Sub-District, Jember District, on Sunday.
The flash floods swamped 440 houses, three places of worship, and two shops, thereby affecting 440 families comprising 1,668 people. However, the disaster did not trigger the evacuations of residents.
The floodwaters began to recede, though leaving behind trash and mud in the affected areas.
"The BPBD officers, assisted by residents, are still cleaning up materials left by the floods. Residents are cleaning houses and also helping clean the affected public facilities," Muahri noted.
