East Jakarta City Government Guarantees, Less Than 1 Hour Flood Victims Can Receive Food Assistance

JAKARTA - The East Jakarta City Government (East Jakarta City Government) has accelerated food assistance for flood victims in the area. In less than an hour, the food aid can be received by the affected residents.

Assistant for Administration and People's Welfare of East Jakarta Administrative City, Achmad Salahuddin, said that the target was calculated from reports from the RT/RW management regarding the number of refugees.

"As soon as possible, less than an hour. Because there is already a public kitchen in the flood area by KSB (Disaster Alert Village) officers," said Achmad Salahuddin in Jakarta, Antara, Friday, November 5.

Salahuddin added that reports on the number of refugees will continue to be reported starting from the RT to RW levels, then the lurah to the East Jakarta Social Sub-Department.

In addition to providing ready-to-eat food, the East Jakarta Social Service Sub-Department (Sudin) also helps provide logistics for public kitchens for flood victims.

"This depends on the data conditions of the affected residents and the existing KSB officers. Establish a public kitchen whose basic goods are supplied from the Social Sub-Department or directly backed up logistics," said Salahuddin.

It also targets medical needs for flood victims who are evacuating not too late.

"Apart from the Health Sub-Department, the East Jakarta PMI has also prepared a medical team and a psychologist team, then there are necessary equipment such as an ambulance, in this case PMI is ready to help," he said.
