This Is The Reason For The Acting Governor Of DKI Heru To Appeal To WFH Employees During Jakarta's Extreme Weather
JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Isnawa Adji explained the reason for the Acting (Pj) Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono appealed to employees to work from home (WFH) when Jakarta was hit by extreme weather.Isnawa said, when Jakarta rained heavily, the conditions that usually occur after that were many vehicles that just passed when the rain started to subside. At that time, there was a puddle caused by the rain."Why did the Governor of PJ convey that? Because of this, when Jakarta was raining heavily, the weather was extreme, then the total traffic jam was everywhere. For hours, people could not go home, were locked up in puddles, many trees fell," Isnawa said when contacted, Monday, November 7th.Therefore, even though there are no written rules, Heru appealed to the owner of the office building or company officials to apply WFH to their employees. This application can be done after the weather analysis that is usually issued by BMKG every day."Those who know whether the WFH or not, are the owners of the office building, right. The leaders are related to the workload. The appeal is of the nature. If there is an extreme weather warning from BPBD or BMKG, the WFH appeals," he said.Previously, Heru Budi Hartono asked his staff and related parties to immediately inform them if they found roads flooded due to extreme weather marked by high rainfall intensity.According to Heru, with information earlier, people can avoid roads that are prone to being inundated while driving or using public transportation to avoid long traffic jams."Together with the Head of BPBD, Dirlantas, the Department of Transportation, it could provide information to the public earlier regarding inundation-prone points, making them prone to congestion," said Heru, Monday, October 24.When they find out the inundation points, according to Heru, people will be able to easily choose a travel route that is safe from inundation and congestion. In addition, people can also decide to work from home (WFH)."Giving it earlier is better. I also saw the tools from the Transportation Agency providing information long ago, through TMC, through the official DKI channels, so that people can choose, namely to keep working or WFH," he explained.
