“The joint evacuation team, including the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), is still working to search for the landslide victims and is making maximum effort,” said Bergas Catur Penanggungan, the head of the Central Java BPBD.
The landslide occurred after heavy rain hit the area last Thursday, affecting residential areas in the hilly terrain.
Search and Rescue Operations
Earlier, Abdul Muhari, head of the National Disaster Management Agency's (BNPB) Data, Information, and Communication Center, stated that the joint team swiftly launched a search and evacuation operation shortly after receiving information about the landslide around 8:00 p.m. local time yesterday evening.
The BNPB confirmed that preliminary data showed a total of 49 residents were affected by the disaster. Of those, two were evacuated in critical condition, three were injured, 23 were found safe, and 21 others were missing and being searched for.
Abdul mentioned that as of 3:00 a.m. local time, 21 people were still missing. Furthermore, heavy equipment was deployed this morning to expedite the search and rescue process. “The search efforts continue to be maximized because we are still within the golden time,” he said, as quoted by Antara on Friday, November 14, 2025.
According to reports from field officers, he added, the landslide, covering hundreds of meters, instantly destroyed 12 residential houses across the Cibuyut, Cibeunying, and Tarukahan areas.
The BNPB urged the entire search and rescue team and the local community to remain vigilant against the potential for secondary landslides, as light to moderate rain is still forecast to occur throughout Majenang Sub-district until Sunday, November 16, 2025.
“We are continuously monitoring the weather and advising the public to avoid areas prone to landslides. Safety is our top priority,” Abdul stated.
