How the score is calculated
The score starts at 8. It adds points from recorded affected, deaths, displaced and casualty counts, plus terms found in the story title, event type or status. For each count, only its highest matching band is used.
- Affected people
- 1–999: +5 · 1,000–9,999: +12 · 10,000–99,999: +20 · 100,000–999,999: +28 · 1 million+: +35
- Deaths
- 1–9: +8 · 10–99: +14 · 100–999: +22 · 1,000+: +30
- Displaced people
- 1–9,999: +6 · 10,000–99,999: +12 · 100,000+: +18
- Casualties
- 100 or more: +8
- Story wording
- +10 for terms such as catastrophe, famine, war, conflict, major earthquake, mass casualty or critical. Otherwise, +5 for active, ongoing, emergency, outbreak, cyclone or hurricane.
Score bands: Watch 0–24 · Moderate 25–49 · High 50–74 · Critical 75–100. Scores are capped at 100. Missing or unparseable figures add no points.

Situation
A flood in Nagari Simpang Tonang, Dua Koto district, Pasaman regency, West Sumatra, left one person dead after the person initially reported missing was recovered. The final national-authority entry records one death and no one remaining missing.
The flood began on 18 September 2026 after heavy rain caused the Aek Koronok and Batang Jember Tonang Raya rivers to overflow. The earlier BNPB and AHA Centre reports recorded 55 households and about 55 homes affected, two homes damaged, five hectares of agricultural land affected, and three households temporarily displaced to relatives' homes. Those earlier figures remain in the evidence history and are not converted into estimated person totals.
