JAKARTA - Since New Year's Eve, Jakarta has been rendered helpless due to floods that have inundated a number of areas. The activities of Jakarta residents seemed paralyzed during the rain that flushed the capital.
Thousands of Jakarta residents who were affected by the floods had to be evacuated to evacuation places. However, not a few residents also remain in their homes, fearing that their valuables will be stolen during the flood.
Kapolda Metro Jaya, Komjen Gatot Eddy Pramono toured the three flood-affected areas. The three locations are in the IKPN Complex, Cileduk Indah 2 Housing and densely populated residential areas in Kalideres, West Jakarta.
The first location visited was the IKPN Complex, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta. There the flood height reaches one to two meters. Not satisfied just looking at the location, Gatot immediately went around using an inflatable boat.
"For the security side, I think there are enough officers from the TNI-Polri here, all of them, be it from the Army, from the Air Force, from the police, then there are volunteers and so on, that's enough," said Gatot after reviewing flooded residential locations.
It was said, if there were still many people who chose to stay in their homes even though the water was still high and it could get higher at any time. "Some of the residents are still upstairs on the second floor. We want to confirm whether the residents are safe and we declare it safe and while no one is sick," said Gatot.
To ensure the safety of valuables belonging to residents affected by the flood, Gatot said he would deploy all personnel to patrol these areas. He also asked people who are either in the refugee camps or who are still staying at their homes not to be anxious and worried.
"The flooded area can be crossed by boats, there are boats from the Navy, Marines, from the police, Kodim there, volunteers are also there. "We are worried that the goods will be taken by unscrupulous individuals who use the flood opportunity to take belongings of the residents," he continued.
On the sidelines of the police chief's blusukan, artist Nikita Mirzani appeared to provide assistance to flood-affected communities. Occasionally Nikita is surrounded by residents who want to take selfie with her at the flood location.
After reviewing the two locations, the group immediately departed for the third location in the Kalideres area of West Jakarta. At this location, Gatot saw the evacuation gathering point for residents affected by the flood.
Gatot listened to the complaints of the flood victims who complained about the logistical needs to the tents for shelter. "Earlier they asked for a tent, later we from the Polda will add a tent here. Then someone asked for a blanket, later we will also help with the blanket later," he said.
Gatot said he would discuss with relevant agencies to convey complaints from residents affected by the flood. Where today Gatot has listened to the complaints of residents from three different flood locations.
In addition, Gatot appealed to the public to help the victims who were affected by the flood. According to Gatot, there are still many victims who need help.
"First, the community still needs tents for evacuation, the two communities still need additional logistical assistance. So we appeal to people who really care about this flood problem, please the people here also need assistance and donations for the community to reduce the burden of this flood. in our society who are affected by this flood, "he explained.
