Latest data updates for Flores Earthquake Tracker.https://watchboard.dev/en-ushttps://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-09-18/https://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-09-18/BNPB began building 2,029 temporary shelters (huntara) in East Manggarai, handing over the first unit in Kampung Bugis on 17 September, and confirmed residents may self-build to spec for reimbursement. The same day, BNPB and the Ministry of Health clarified that most of the 94 deaths classified as 'indirect' involved evacuees dying of chronic-disease complications rather than earthquake trauma — the first substantive explanation of that contested classification. Manggarai Regency separately extended its own emergency status through 28 September even though the province declared recovery underway on 12 September, and NTT convened a Kupang data-consolidation forum after BNPB, BPBD NTT's Inatana app, and a third recovery-planning tally produced three diverging casualty and displacement counts for the same 15 September date.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-09-07/https://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-09-07/BNPB chief Suharyanto briefed President Prabowo that the death toll has risen to 135, split for the first time into 48 direct and 87 indirect deaths, with 1,752 injured. Displacement plunged to 72,864 — sharply below both BNPB's own 166,829 figure and BPBD NTT's competing 96,385 count from 5 September, deepening rather than resolving the tracker's ongoing data-divergence story. Home-damage verification reached 50.39% (51,591 of 102,384 identified units), with East Manggarai recording the highest verified severe-damage count. The cumulative aftershock count hit 13,156, but weekly activity fell sharply to just 364 tremors, the clearest sign yet of the sequence tapering off. Aid distribution reached 2,142 tons via the Labuan Bajo and Maumere entry points as BNPB described health, education, economic and social activities beginning to normalize.Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-09-06/https://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-09-06/Provincial and national casualty counts diverged sharply on 5 September: BPBD NTT reported the death toll rising to 130 and displacement plunging to 96,385, while BNPB's parallel count held at 127 dead and 166,829 displaced — neither figure reconciled with the other, and the largest such gap of the response so far. Homes damaged rose to 99,568 and school damage to 2,633 per the same provincial tally. The aftershock sequence passed 12,000 events (12,438 BPBD NTT / 12,064 BNPB), including two new felt M4.6 tremors off Mbay/Nagekeo (4 Sep) and near Ruteng (5 Sep), neither causing damage. NTT Governor Emanuel Melkiades Laka Lena pledged layered oversight of incoming relief funds.Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-09-02/https://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-09-02/The confirmed death toll remains unchanged at 111 since 27 August. BMKG's aftershock tally passed 10,937 events as of 1 September, with officials reaffirming a clear downward decay trend toward a forecast late-September tail-off. Recovery efforts widened beyond emergency relief: the Agriculture Ministry reported 1,321.55 tons of rice and 7,000 liters of cooking oil distributed across all seven affected regencies, Indonesia's civil aviation authority began expedited structural repairs at five quake-damaged airports (Komodo, Frans Seda, H. Hasan Aroeboesman, Soa and Frans Sales Lega), and a fuller Education Ministry breakdown found 6,927 classrooms severely damaged with 785 schools still requesting emergency classroom units.Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-08-31/https://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-08-31/The confirmed death toll held at 111 for a fifth consecutive day (28-31 August, Day 17), with BNPB reporting no new fatalities. BNPB said 1,954 tons of aid — 98.39% of what it received — has now been distributed via air, sea and land routes, while the Air Force's own 729-ton, 15-day Halim Perdanakusuma relief airlift is winding down. BMKG's aftershock tally passed 10,232 events, and for the first time the agency described the decay curve as showing a clear declining pattern, though activity is still expected to continue another 3-4 weeks. Separately, the Education Ministry's assessment found 1,918 school units affected across seven regencies, with only 37 schools back to in-person classes and 295 on distance learning. Tourism recovery continued, with 7 of 18 assessed destinations and 6 of Flores' airports reopened.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-08-28/https://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-08-28/President Prabowo Subianto finally visited the earthquake zone on 26 August — eleven days after the mainshock, after two prior postponements — distributing Rp200 billion in aid across NTT province and its eight affected regencies. The confirmed death toll rose to 111 by 27 August before holding flat on Day 14 with no new fatalities reported. Displacement declined for the first time since the quake, falling from a 185,131 peak on 25 August to 176,621 on 27 August as families began returning home. BNPB's verified homes-damaged count rose to 77,912, and the agency launched an accelerated rehabilitation-reconstruction push across all seven affected regencies. Aftershocks passed 8,193.Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-08-21/https://watchboard.dev/indonesia-flores-earthquake/#digest-2026-08-21/BNPB and BPBD NTT raised the confirmed death toll to 83 (up from 75) as of 21 August, with displacement surging past 110,000 and homes damaged reaching 44,946. A magnitude 5.8 aftershock on 20 August triggered a fatal heart attack in Ruteng, and a previously uncounted 15 August death in Flores Timur Regency surfaced five days late, exposing a gap in the regency-level reporting system. Two cabinet ministers visited Sikka Regency on 19 August to distribute aid and condolence payments. BMKG has now recorded over 4,258 aftershocks since the mainshock.Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTdaily
