Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto pledged to rebuild infrastructure while visiting areas impacted by floods and landslides on Sumatra that left thousands homeless and 474 people missing as of Monday.
Some areas of Indonesia remained unreachable on Monday after the disaster damaged roads and downed communications lines, with residents in impacted areas relying on aircraft to deliver supplies.
Flooding displaced 290,700 people in the provinces of North Sumatra, West Sumatra and Aceh, the National Disaster Management Agency said.
Mr Prabowo, who visited North Sumatra on Monday and was expected in West Sumatra and Aceh during the day, said the government's response is reaching those in need.
"We need to confront climate change effectively," Mr Prabowo said. "Local governments must take a significant role in safeguarding the environment and preparing for the extreme weather conditions that will arise from future climate change."
