Bengkulu - The Bengkulu City Government (Pemkot) has set up three public kitchens at locations near flood areas in the local area, after heavy rain since Sunday, April 5 evening, to help residents affected by the disaster.
"We have coordinated, today the public kitchen was immediately established in the three points so that the distribution of food could be fast and even," said Head of the Bengkulu City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) I Made Wardana in Bengkulu, Monday, quoted by Antara.
He explained that the opening of the public kitchen was to ensure that the logistics needs of flood-affected people, especially ready-to-eat food, were met during the emergency response period.
A number of sub-districts in Bengkulu City were flooded with varying water levels.
There are three locations for the opening of the public kitchen, namely the Korpri Housing, Ejukha Housing, and Rawa Makmur Village, Bengkulu City. A number of these locations are considered strategic to reach the needs of flood-affected residents.
His party also dispatched one public kitchen car to support operations in the field, which will be stationed at the Ejukha Housing as a distribution center for food to the surrounding area.
His party noted that several areas had the most severe flood impacts, including Tanjung Agung and Tanjung Jaya villages.
At the location, the water was quite high and forced some residents to stay at home or evacuate to safer places.
"With the establishment of the public kitchen, it is part of the local government's emergency response to address the impact of flooding, while ensuring that people's basic needs are still met in the midst of weather conditions that have not fully improved," said Made.
