“As of Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 12 p.m. local time, 14 people have been confirmed dead and two others remain missing,” said Abdul Muhari, Head of BNPB’s Disaster Data, Information, and Communication Center, in a written statement on Thursday.

The fatalities include eight people in Denpasar (the provincial capital), two in Jembrana, three in Gianyar, and one in Badung.

Abdul added that floodwaters, which reached heights of 1 to 3 meters (3–10 feet), also forced residents to evacuate to temporary shelters.

According to Bali’s Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), 562 people have been displaced — 327 in Jembrana and 235 in Denpasar.

Those displaced are currently taking shelter in public facilities such as schools, village halls, prayer rooms, and community centers.

Bali BPBD Secretary Gede Agung Teja Bhusana Yadnya said that floodwaters have now fully receded across the island.

“There are no more flooded areas. There have been no new flood points since the rain stopped yesterday afternoon,” he said.
