JAKARTA - The heavy rain and strong winds that recently damaged a number of facilities in Depok City made the Depok City Fire and Rescue Service in West Java Province on guard.

Head of the Disaster Management Division of the Depok City Fire and Rescue Service, Denny Rumolo, stated that a number of areas in Depok still have potential.

"In the last few days, hail and wind have caused a lot of trees and billboards to collapse," said Denny, based on information received on Tuesday, February 28.

Denny also appealed to the public to remain vigilant when it rains.

"We will always be alert to serve the community for 24 hours. We urge the public to continue to be vigilant and do not park their vehicles near trees to avoid something similar happening," he wrote.

As previously reported, a number of facilities in Depok were damaged after being blown by strong winds accompanied by heavy rains. On Sunday, September 26, a tree fell and hit a car containing four people on Jalan Raya Kalimulya.

"The four residents survived but were still taken to the hospital as an anticipatory measure. The car was successfully evacuated and the fallen tree was transported by the Sanitation and Parks Service," said Denny.
