VIDEO: Floods Inundate Residents' Settlements In Kebon Pala, East Jakarta
JAKARTA - The Ciliwung River in the Kebon Pala area, Jatinegara District, East Jakarta, has again overflowed, causing dozens of houses to be flooded. Floods began to hit residential areas on the banks of the Ciliwung River since Sunday, November 7th.
The flood came suddenly without any notification from the local government. So people panic when they have to evacuate their valuables.
The flood has varying water levels, ranging from 50 cm to 100 cm. Flooding in this basin area comes from water delivery in the upstream sector of the Ciliwung River, namely in Bogor, West Java.
Recently, the DKI Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) said that the floods that had inundated a number of points in the capital all day had completely receded.
Head of Data and Information Center (Kapusdatin) DKI BPBD M. Insaf said, based on the recording at 18.00 WIB, all refugees had returned home because the flood had receded.
"Information about the current inundation has completely dried up from 30,470 RTs in DKI Jakarta. Refugees have returned to their respective homes," said Insaf in his statement, Monday, November 8.
It is known that high-intensity rain in Greater Jakarta resulted in flooding inundated 91 RTs in East Jakarta and South Jakarta, based on the recording at 06.00 WIB today.
