The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reported that the floods that hit the two areas have now expanded, submerging a total of 51 Neighborhood Units (RT), up from the previous 49 RT. In some locations, water levels reached extreme points, even up to 3 meters, as happened in Cawang Village, East Jakarta.
According to Mohamad Yohan, Head of the DKI Jakarta BPBD Data and Information Center, puddles at various points range from 60 cm to 300 cm. The worst situation was recorded in East Jakarta, especially the Cawang area, which is currently the main concern of field officers.
Heavy rains that have flushed the DKI Jakarta area and its surroundings since Saturday (5/7) night have become the main cause. In addition, the increase in the status of the Katulampa Dam and Depok Post to Alert 3 (Alert) helped accelerate the overflow of the river into residential areas. This causes inundation to start happening in the early hours of Sunday, around 03.00 WIB.
"The high rainfall and overflow of the Ciliwung River are the main triggers for flooding this time," Yohan explained, as quoted by ANTARA.
