Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono ensured that victims and refugees of the Pertamina Plumpang Depot fire, North Jakarta will receive the best handling. Babies and toddlers will be focused, by providing special food supply assistance.

"Our assistance is prioritized for survivors who are still babies and toddlers, namely in the form of food assistance. We are working with Pertamina to pay attention to (food supply, ed), especially refugees who have babies and toddlers," Budi said in a written statement, Saturday, March 4.

Budi assessed that this baby and toddler should be a concern because they cannot be independent. It's different from adult refugees.

"Adult survivors can certainly try to cook food according to their needs. However, when it comes to babies and toddlers, special food must be done," he said.

"We have also coordinated this with the Polda Metro Jaya. Meanwhile, post-fire anticipation has been made by the Ministry of Health," continued Budi.

Furthermore, Budi has also ordered the head of the relevant technical office to prepare facilities and infrastructure for the refugees. Do not let them get their furore, including sanitation.

For this problem, the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency will certainly intervene. There are additional toilets that will be sent to the refugee camps.

"Yes, all needs have been done. Regarding sanitation, there are already in Puskesmas, GOR, residents' houses, and the Environmental Service Office. We provide bathrooms, toilets will also add toilets from the Environment Agency," said Budi.

Meanwhile, North Jakarta Deputy Mayor Djuaeni said there were 10 temporary shelters. This location is prepared for residents affected by the fire consisting of adults, the elderly, children, and toddlers.

The evacuation locations provided are the North Jakarta PMI Office, North Rawa Badak Village Office, Assholihin Walang Mosque, RPTRA Rasela, Al Quroma Mosque RW 03 Rawa Badak Selatan, Rawa Badak Selatan Village Office, Al Muhajirin RW 07 Mosque, SD IT Gema Insan Mandiri, Golkar Building, and North Jakarta Manpower and Energy Sub-Department Office.
