Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi asked all parties to increase vigilance and preparedness to face the potential for extreme weather over the next week.
Budi advised the public not to travel outside the city if it is not urgent or important.
"Personally and institutionally, we must anticipate both what is being recorded. We must be vigilant. I urge you that if it is not really important, don't leave the city, so it is safer," he said in a press conference at the Ministry of Transportation's End of Year, 2022 Performance Achievements and Work Plans of the Ministry of Transportation 2023, Tuesday, December 27.
Meanwhile, the Spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation Adita Irawati asked land, air transportation operators, especially in the marine sector not to force themselves to operate if the weather is not friendly.
"What is clear is that we have also asked operators both at sea and in the air not to force themselves to carry out operations if the weather is not possible. Especially at sea, because in the sea it is relatively more dangerous, yes, because of high waves and so on," said Adita.
In fact, said Adita, the Kesyahbandaran Office has also firmly asked operators not to operate if sea waves are high.
"So the harbormaster has also been firm with the operator, if it turns out that the high waves are bad, don't force it. Indeed, the consequences are a delay, but yes, it is to stay safe," he said.
Adita also asked transportation operators to update information to passengers in the event of a weather problem.
This is because it relates to the possibility of delaying travel.
"We ask operators to update flight statuses on passengers if there is a delay. It must be notified as soon as possible," he said.
"We always emphasize that we follow the update from the BMKG, if I'm not mistaken, every 6 hours there are updates. So that's what is being held," he continued.
