JAKARTA - Jakarta's weather at the end of October 2023 is still hot during the day. However, Chairman of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Ida Mahampang asked the DKI Provincial Government to prepare for the rainy season from now on.

Ida reminded the prediction of the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency regarding extreme weather in the form of heavy rain that could potentially come suddenly at the transition of the dry season to the rainy season.

Ida asked the DKI Provincial Government to anticipate the impact of heavy rains ahead of entering the rainy season, namely draining reservoirs, reservoirs and waterways connected to 13 rivers in Jakarta.

"The drain is done so that the waterways, reservoirs and reservoirs in Jakarta can accommodate more water than the heavy rainfall that will occur some time in the future," Ida told reporters, Tuesday, October 31.

Then at the peak of the rainy season which is predicted to occur in early 2024, Ida asked the DKI Provincial Government to intensify flood prevention efforts in Jakarta.

Given, DKI has allocated a budget of more than IDR 2 trillion in the flood control program in the 2024 APBD.

"The budget allocation for flood management is spread for various activities. Including, draining microchannels and similar budgets at the service tribe level," said Ida.

However, Ida admitted that the DKI DPRD did not approve the Water Resources Service to buy land again for additional reservoirs and reservoirs.

"In addition to draining, the normalization of the Cilwung River is also a priority that will be carried out in 2024. The DKI SDA Office does not need to buy land, but can use other OPD-owned land to build reservoirs or reservoirs," he said.

Previously, the BMKG predicted the start of the 2023/2024 rainy season to show that the rainy season is expected to start from November to December 2023, with a peak of 385 musm zones in January and February 2024.

As a recommendation to face the 2023/2024 Rainy Season, BMKG urges local governments, related agencies, and the public to be more prepared and anticipatory towards possible hydrometeorological disasters.
