DEMAK - All flood victims in Wonokingal Village, Demak Regency, Central Java (Central Java), who set up an emergency tent on the shoulder of the Demak-Kudus Pantura Line were convicted.

Head of the Disaster Data, Information and Communication Center of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Abdul Muhari said the refugees were transferred to the BNPB refugee post in the Wonokingal Village office yard.

"There, [the emergency tent point] is the main route for the Pantura which has begun to be crossed by motorists so that it can threaten the safety of residents who evacuate there," he said in Jakarta, Tuesday, February 20, which was confiscated by Antara.

He explained that the total number of refugees who had been transferred was 50 people, consisting of mothers, children, and the elderly.

Through a persuasive approach, he said, dozens of residents had been transferred to the BNPB refugee post.

BNPB Emergency Resources Support Director Agus Riyanto added that the post consisted of two large tents that were more appropriate because all basic necessities in the form of food, children's clothing, blankets, and clean water for flood victims had been prepared.

"In addition to alerting a clean water tanker, at the post health check services are also provided for the victims," he said.
