JAKARTA - The rain that flushed the Jakarta area and its surroundings on Friday, November 10 at night caused an increase in the water level at the Pulogadung floodgate, East Jakarta, Saturday, November 11 in the morning.

Based on information from the X account of the DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the water level (TMA) at the Pulogadung floodgate reaches 600 centimeters (cm) with alert status or standby status 3. Alert status 3 at the Pulogadung floodgate has occurred from 23.00 WIB to 00.00 WIB.

However, other floodgates, such as Katulampa, Depok, Manggarai, Karet, Krukut Hulu, Pesanggrahan, Angke Huluz Pluit Reservoir, Fish Market, Cipinang Hulu and Sunter Hulu are still monitored normally or standby 4.

The DKI BPBD disseminated information through social media and notifications to the sub-district and village heads regarding the condition of the water level at the Pulogadung floodgates.
