MATARAM - The Mataram City Regional Disaster Management Agency, West Nusa Tenggara, appeals to fishermen to increase vigilance against the potential for high waves that are expected to occur in the next two days.
Acting Head of the Mataram City Regional Disaster Management Agency Akhmad Muzaki said, based on information from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), there was a potential for sea waves of 1.5 meters to 2.5 meters on March 4-5, 2026.
"BMKG predicts that on March 4-5, 2026, an increase in rainfall intensity is predicted, accompanied by strong winds, and high waves. The height of the waves is estimated to reach 1.5 meters to 2.5 meters," said Muzaki in Mataram, Antara, Tuesday, March 3.
BPBD has reminded fishermen in the coastal areas of Ampenan and Sekerbela to be alert to the impact of high waves. Similar appeals were also made to ferry operators around Lombok Island.
According to him, the BPBD disaster task force is also actively monitoring conditions in coastal areas and river basins (DAS) to anticipate the potential for flooding and flooding.
"Our monitoring at vulnerable points of puddles, floods, and overflows of canals and rivers is still relatively safe. However, the public must remain vigilant," he said.
He added, Mataram City is currently entering a transitional season marked by uncertain weather. This condition has the potential to trigger extreme weather until the end of March 2026.
All disaster handling personnel are asked to remain in emergency standby positions, especially to monitor coastal areas prone to tidal waves, beach abrasion, flash floods, and watershed areas.
The main disaster post is still on standby at the BPBD Mataram City Office on Jalan Lingkar Selatan, and is supported by posts at the village level and at the Mataram City Mayor's palace.
"For the post at the edge of the beach, we have dismantled it, and focused it on the local lurah office for more effective coordination," said Muzaki.
