"Unlike the south, there are frequent floods or puddles, the south often experiences extreme weather. Within half an hour there are 60 fallen trees, the Central (Jakarta) is relatively safe. Then in East Jakarta and West Jakarta there will be heavy rains or puddles," Isnawa Adji told reporters at the Central Jakarta City Government, Tuesday, December 13.

Even so, the Central Jakarta City Government will instruct the sub-district and village heads in its area to be more alert in anticipating disasters in the region.

"Together with any community element so that we can prevent disaster management," he said.
