Following a string of fatal floods, Indonesia's Sumatra island will need 51.82 trillion rupiah ($3.11 billion) in restoration and recovery funding, according to senior government officials.
According to government figures, 950 people had died as a result of the floods and landslides caused by the typhoon as of Monday, and 274 were still unaccounted for. In Malaysia and southern Thailand, the storms also claimed the lives of nearly 200 people.
The chairman of Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency, Suharyanto, stated that as the organization continues to assess the extent of the damage, the amount of recovery funding required for the three provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra may yet rise.

At a cabinet meeting presided over by President Prabowo Subianto in Aceh province late on Sunday, Suharyanto stated that Aceh requires the most money of the three impacted provinces, totaling 25.41 trillion rupiah.
According to him, 12.88 trillion and 13.52 trillion rupiah will be needed for North and West Sumatra, respectively.
According to him, some parts of North and West Sumatra, which have recovered rather well, will soon start the restoration process.The government constructed 40-square-meter plywood temporary homes for those impacted by natural catastrophes.
"In the next phase, they will be relocated into permanent houses, built by the housing ministry," he stated.
Prabowo stated that his estimates were "similar" in response to the initial anticipated recovery cost, but he did not specify whether or not he would sanction the expenditure.
"The point is we have the capacity and we will do it meticulously and do our best to manage it," Prabowo stated.
Prabowo added that there were still severe situations in several places, including in rice fields, dams, and many homes."The local leaders reported that there are quite a number of houses that we must help rebuild," he stated.
"In some places, there are still challenges," he stated, adding that providing the inhabitants with clothing and medication had to be given top priority.
