"There is no report of fatalities in the disaster," said Muklis, the head of the Lebak disaster mitigation office, here on Monday.
He noted that incessant heavy rains on Sunday triggered the floods and landslides.
The disaster-affected sub-districts are Leuwidamar, Cimarga, Sobang and Lebak Gedong.
Muklis stated that 70 houses were swept away and 100 others inundated, with floodwaters reaching a height of up to 50 cm.
In Sobang and Lebak Gedong, 16 houses are still under threat of landslides, while nine have been damaged and three others almost destroyed.
"Volunteers, military personnel and Red Cross officers have moved the victims, who have lost their houses, to safer areas," Muklis said.
The Lebak authorities have sent relief aid to the victims and also put the region's emergency personnel on alert, because heavy rains are forecast to continue in the coming few weeks.
A number of evacuation facilities, such as rubber boats and ambulances, have been kept ready in anticipation of emergency situations.
