JAKARTA - The Capital Region was hit by heavy rain this morning. A number of roads began to flood. DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung revealed that the DKI Provincial Government had carried out weather modification operations (OMC) again today.
Pramono said that OMC was operated with two sorties. This activity was coordinated with the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) and the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).
"From 7.30 WIB we have modified the weather. Today we will fly twice," said Pramono at the Pullman Jakarta Central Park, West Jakarta, Thursday, January 22.
BMKG predicts that rain will still rain on Jakarta in the next few hours. He hopes that weather modification will reduce rainfall so that flooding does not spread to various points in the capital.
"Hopefully from the prediction that it will rain for a long time in moderate rainfall, hopefully it will not happen, so this morning we flew for OMC to modify it again," said Pramono.
On the one hand, Pramono hopes that the buffer regional government in the Jabodetabek area will also participate in weather modification. This is to prevent Jakarta from getting flood water from upstream.
"We also convey to the BMKG that the BMKG concentration is not only Jakarta, yes. Left and right are also weather modifications, especially Tangerang, Bekasi, Bogor, Depok, and so on," said Pramono.
The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) recorded 8 roads in West Jakarta, North Jakarta, and South Jakarta were flooded due to heavy rain pouring over Jakarta this morning.
"As of 10.00 WIB, BPBD recorded that currently there are 1 RT and 8 roads flooded," said Head of the BPBD DKI Jakarta Information Center M. Yohan in his statement.
