JAKARTA - A number of residential areas in the Warakas area, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, were again flooded on Sunday, January 18, 2026.
Previously, this area was also flooded on Monday, January 12, 2026.
The flood was caused by high rainfall until the existing drainage at the location could not accommodate and drain the downpour.
Purwati (50), a resident of Warakas V, Tanjung Priok, regretted the flooding that hit his settlement.
The reason is that he had just cleaned up after the flood on Monday, but the disaster came back.
"It just receded yesterday and cleaned up, the house was flooded again," Purwati told reporters, Sunday, January 18.
Purwati said the flood submerged all parts of her house with a height of about 40 cm.
In fact, said Purwati, she and her husband had just rested for a moment after cleaning their house which had been flooded for 3 days.
"Imagine in a week we have been flooded twice. We are tired and tired of being flooded, please governor," said the woman with 5 children.
Purwati said that this time the flood was no less severe than the previous flood. Water puddles began to enter the house since the morning after heavy rain overnight.
"My husband and I again picked up furniture and other items in the house that had not been cleaned up recently. Even though I still feel tired after cleaning, it has flooded again," he said.
Previously reported, the Mayor of North Jakarta, Hendra Hidayat, explained that his party continued to handle the flood that hit a number of areas by optimizing the pump engine owned by the North Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sudin on Sunday, January 18, 2026, afternoon.
"We are pumping as much as possible, all of the pumps owned by SDA are in standby condition," Hendra told reporters, Sunday, January 18, 2026.
