JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) appealed to residents, especially along riverbanks, to be aware of flooding because the Cipinang Hulu Monitoring Post has an alert status or standby III.

"Information on the "disaster early warning system" to riverbank residents due to the increase in the Cipinang Hulu Post: 160 cm water level (TMA)," said BPBD DKI Jakarta through its official twitter account @BPBDJakarta, published in Jakarta, Friday, February 5.

BPBD DKI noted that the status increase from normal or standby IV to alert or standby III occurred at 04.00 WIB because the high rainfall caused an increase in water level.

"We anticipate that in about 4.5 hours the water will arrive at Pulo Gadung Water Gate," he said.

Areas that need to be anticipated include Cibubur, Cipinang, South Cipinang Besar, North Cipinang Besar, Dukuh, Halim Perdana Kusuma, Kebon Pala, Kramat Jati, Makasar, Pekayon, Pinang Ranti, and Rambutan.

The normal size of the water level at the Cipinang Hulu Monitoring Post is below 145 cm.

BPBD DKI also recorded an increase in the water level at the Pasar Ikan Water Gate at 04.00 WIB, reaching 202 cm with standby status II due to the impact of rain.

The water level limit in normal size at the Pasar Ikan Water Gate is below 168 cm.

BPBD DKI said that the anticipated areas that might be affected are Kamal Muara, Kapuk Muara, Penjaringan, Pluit, Ancol, Kamal, Marunda, Cilincing, and Kalibaru.

BPBD DKI will update early warning information related to the increase or decrease in water level at monitoring posts and floodgates.
