JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has prepared a number of steps to minimize the impact of the potential for La Nina which is expected to hit by the end of 2025.
"We have coordinated across sectors to anticipate La Nina," said Head of the DKI Jakarta BPBD Data and Information Center (Kapusdatin) Mohamad Yohan as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, October 8.
According to him, La Nina, which is expected to hit Indonesia by the end of 2025, needs to be watched out for, especially the impacts that may arise, such as potential flooding and inundation in the capital city.
Therefore, the DKI Jakarta BPBD has coordinated across sectors with relevant agencies such as the Water Resources Service (SDA), the Environment Agency (DLH), the Transportation Service (Dishub), and the TNI-Polri to ensure preparedness for increasing rainfall due to the La Ni genus phenomenon.
In addition, the DKI BPBD together with the Water Resources Service (SDA) also strengthens the early warning system and ensures that disaster preparedness posts in every city administration area function optimally.
" Routine checks on water pumps, reservoirs, and floodgates continue to be carried out to ensure all infrastructure is ready to use," he said.
He also appealed to the public to remain vigilant and actively monitor weather information from the BMKG and the official DKI Jakarta BPBD channel because community involvement in preparedness is very important, especially in areas prone to inundation.
BPBD DKI emphasized that early mitigation is the key in dealing with the potential for La Nina considering that its impact can be widespread on community activities, infrastructure, and the economic sector in Jakarta.
"The public is advised if they find or experience a state of emergency, they can contact the Jakarta Alert Call Center 112," said Yohan.
