Floods inundated hundreds of houses in Indonesia's Gorontalo province, affecting 929 people in three villages.
"The floods occurred due to heavy rainfalls that caused Paguyuman river located in the area to overflow," an official at the national disaster management agency BNPB, Abdul Muhari, said.
The BNPB's Gorontalo office has so far reported no casualties and injuries in the flooding, reports Xinhua news agency.
It has sent a fast response team to handle the emergency situation and evacuation process there.
