"For Java itself, Central Java or if there was inundation on the toll road, we have coordinated with toll road managers to prepare water pumps with large capacities so that they quickly drain inundation on the toll road," said Aan in a virtual press conference monitored in Jakarta, Sunday. Some time ago, a flood disaster hit the Central Java Pantura area, to anticipate this, his party then prepared other efforts, namely finding alternative routes so that traffic runs smoothly without disturbing community activities.

"We are guarding to find alternative routes so that community activities can run as usual, as long as the homecoming flow continues, we will continue to prepare alternative routes to anticipate disasters," he said. So that the risk that may occur in toll roads and arteries will reduce (the traffic density) when it is diverted to the arteries," he added.
