Denpasar — The Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) handled at least seven fallen-tree or broken-branch incidents in the city between Oct. 17 and Nov. 3, 2026, as strong winds and rain affected Bali. The report was published on Nov. 4.
The newly reported total adds to a series of weather-related disruptions during the early rainy season. In a separate account, the Bali provincial disaster agency said 64 disaster incidents were recorded across seven regencies and cities on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2, with fallen trees and landslides among the main types of event. That report did not identify the seven Denpasar incidents as part of the same total.
Denpasar’s Dinas Lingkungan Hidup dan Kebersihan, the city’s Environmental and Sanitation Agency, is intensifying tree monitoring, maintenance and pruning, known locally as perompesan. The measures are intended to reduce hazards from trees and branches during periods of stronger wind.
Why it matters for residents and visitors
For people in Denpasar, tree-related hazards may affect roads, sidewalks and other public areas during rain and wind. A fallen tree or broken branch can obstruct traffic and require coordinated clearance by disaster-response and environmental personnel. Visitors moving through the city may therefore encounter temporary disruptions in areas where trees line roads or public spaces.
The provincial BPBD previously described joint responses involving BPBD Bali, BPBD Denpasar, the environmental agency, volunteers and local residents after strong winds caused fallen trees elsewhere in the city. It reported no deaths or property losses at those locations. The broader early-November weather pattern included moderate to heavy rain in Denpasar.
The seven-incident total and the city’s intensified pruning and monitoring response were reported. No completion date was stated for the additional maintenance work.
