"According to the Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD), all areas in West Sumatra are now accessible," he said.
Mahyeldi thanked all parties for supporting the disaster response and said restored access would help accelerate aid distribution to affected residents.
The province continues to receive assistance for victims, including basic necessities, blankets, foam mattresses, and other supplies valued at Rp244 million (around US$15,000).
International NGO Al-Khair Foundation also delivered aid worth Rp600 million as a show of solidarity with disaster survivors.
Mahyeldi urged residents to remain alert despite improving weather, citing a BMKG forecast of a supermoon that could increase sea tides.
He called on communities in disaster-prone areas, particularly coastal and hilly regions, to stay vigilant.
According to BPBD data as of December 2 afternoon, Pesisir Selatan recorded the most evacuees at 83,463 people. In Agam, 6,320 residents evacuated; in Padang City, 4,456; in Solok, 3,133; and in West Pasaman, 2,607.
