"For this reason, I appeal to the people on the banks of Ciliwung to be vigilant. Especially Jakarta residents, it is possible that this runoff will arrive in the Jakarta area at around 06.30 on Monday morning," said Bogor Mayor Dedie A Rachim, Sunday night.

Until 23.30 WIB, his party was still monitoring the situation and condition of the water discharge at Katulampa Dam.

To minimize the impact of disasters at vulnerable points, the Bogor City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the Bogor City Fire Department, along with other SAR potentials and regional elements have been dispatched to the location.

The Head of BPBD for Bogor City, Hidayatullah, said that currently officers have been deployed to various potential points or disaster-prone.

"We have distributed our friends since receiving reports upstream of the Ciliwung and Cisadane rivers, because the city of Bogor is the track of the two rivers," he said.

In mitigating this disaster, his party has made efforts as early as possible to minimize the impact of disasters.

As of 23.30 WIB, there have been six reports of disasters consisting of collapsed roofs, flooded roads, fallen trees, landslides, and so on.

Apart from BPBD, the Bogor City Fire Department officers also took various anticipatory steps to reduce the impact of disasters.

In Bebek Village, RT 002/010 Kedung Halang Village, North Bogor District, Bogor City, firefighters evacuated an elderly person named Paroh when the Ciliwung River overflowed.

The Danru Team 1 of the Cibuluh Post Fire Department, Agus Kurniawan, said that when he came to the location, he saw that the water discharge began to rise and cross residential areas.

"Iya, ketika debit air naik, kami melihat ada lansia. Kemudian kami bujuk untuk dievakuasi karena air sudah merendam teras depan rumah warga," kata Agus.

"Then we carried Grandma Paroh and evacuated her to a local resident's house which is far from potential flooding or landslides. Alhamdulillah, now it is safe and has been evacuated," he said.
