Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian, who heads the Task Force for the Acceleration of Sumatra Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction, reported that the November 2025 disaster affected 53 regencies and cities and 4,533 villages and subdistricts, forcing more than 2.1 million people to seek shelter, and damaged more than 184,000 houses, 4,922 educational facilities, 954 healthcare facilities and 1,593 places of worship. The central government has provided approximately Rp12.34 trillion in budgetary support to affected regional governments, including Rp268 billion in emergency expenditure assistance, Rp10.64 trillion in additional regional transfers and a further Rp1.4 trillion in transfers.
The government's rehabilitation and reconstruction master plan runs through 2028 and covers 11,520 activities, including road and bridge construction, river restoration, school and housing rehabilitation, and recovery in agriculture and fisheries, requiring Rp100.67 trillion over three years to implement. All 87 hospitals have resumed operations; classes have resumed in 4,823 of the 4,922 affected school buildings, with the remaining 99 using emergency classrooms; national roads and bridges across the three provinces are fully operational; temporary housing is 99.84 percent complete at 20,803 units, and construction of 57,027 permanent homes is being accelerated.
