BNPB advances 385 temporary homes for Flores survivors in Manggarai

Manggarai — Construction of the first temporary-housing phase for Flores earthquake survivors had reached 109 units by Tuesday, September 29, 2026, according to Ekorantt.

The first phase covers 385 temporary homes in Manggarai. BNPB, Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency, is overseeing construction for residents whose homes were severely damaged by the Flores earthquake. The planned homes are intended to provide temporary accommodation while recovery continues across affected communities in Flores.

The construction affects communities in Flores, including Manggarai, where temporary housing remains a central part of the earthquake response. The scale of the planned first phase indicates the extent of the accommodation effort for residents whose houses sustained severe damage.

Media Indonesia reported that BNPB’s provisional data recorded 1,494 severely damaged homes in Manggarai. That figure provides context for the first phase of temporary housing and the number of residents who may require accommodation during the recovery period.

The reports describe the housing programme as a staged response. Construction and completion figures may change as BNPB and local authorities update their verification and building data. The 109 units recorded by September 29 therefore represent progress within the first phase, while the total plan remains 385 temporary homes in Manggarai.

BNPB’s work is focused on temporary homes for Flores earthquake survivors, with Manggarai included in the response. Further updates will determine how construction advances toward the planned first-phase total.
