Floods that occurred due to continuous rain on Friday, February 19 to Saturday, February 20 made 1,722 residents of East Jakarta evacuate. The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has also prepared 10 refugee camps.

"The number of refugees is 1,772 out of 514 families. All of them are from the East Jakarta area and there are 10 refugee locations that are also being prepared in the East Jakarta area," said Acting Head of BPBD DKI Jakarta Province Sabdo Kurnianto in a written statement, Sunday, February 21.

Furthermore, there were five people who died as a result of this flood. One of them is an elderly citizen of male gender due to locked in the house.

"The victim is a 67-year-old male who is locked in the house in Jatipadang, South Jakarta," he said.

Meanwhile, four of them were three boys who were swept away by the flood while playing in South Jakarta and West Jakarta. "And a seven-year-old girl who drowned in West Jakarta," he explained.

"The public is advised to remain cautious. In case of an emergency, they can contact Call Center 112. As well as report if they find inundation/flooding through the JAKI application and disaster maps, and the community is encouraged to continue implementing the 3M health protocol," said Sabdo.

DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan claimed that he and his government officials had been alert and prepared since last year to anticipate potential extreme weather such as heavy rain.

This preparation is also done to deal with the rain that will occur on February 23-24, as predicted by the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).

"We have been on alert during the preparations from the past years," Anies told reporters while visiting Manggarai Water Gate, South Jakarta, Sunday, February 21.

This, he continued, could be seen by the speed at which all networks of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government moved when it rained heavily on Friday, February 19.

"What is the indication, the speed at which it moves when it rains very heavily," he said.

"So, friends can see when it rains in a relatively short time, we can work together with the entire community, ranks, including the Police to ensure (floods, ed) recede," he added.

Furthermore, the former Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) will continue to maintain three principles in dealing with floods.

"One: standby, two: responsive, and three: support. We will continue to encourage this," said Anies.
