JAKARTA - The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, asked the government to finalize its readiness to face the impact of disasters due to extreme weather that are predicted to occur ahead of the 2023 New Year.

"We ask the central government to cooperate with the relevant Regional Governments, TNI/Polri, BNPB-BPBD, Basarnas, BMKG, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure readiness for the impact of disasters," said Puan in her statement, Wednesday, December 28. Previously, BMKG and BRIN predicted that the areas of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) could potentially experience heavy rain. The area is also expected to experience flooding due to rain. The former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (PMK) reminded that disaster impact readiness must be carried out carefully. So that according to him, the potential for casualties could be reduced.

Puan also reminded the public to always be vigilant and must be able to ensure the safety of themselves and their families.

"People's safety must be a priority. Do not let there be a gap in the worst possibility," said Puan.

On the other hand, the chairman of the PDIP DPP emphasized the importance of mitigation to reduce disaster risk. Both physically infrastructure and human resources. Disaster mitigation socialization, said Puan, also needs to be massive.

"All parties must work together to overcome natural disasters so that the safety of the people can be guaranteed," he concluded.
