Central Java - BMKG issued warnings of potential extreme weather in a number of parts of Indonesia, including the City of Solo. Responding to this, BPBD mapped around 30 disaster-prone points in Solo.

"The BPBD continues to monitor, especially regarding the early warning from the BMKG, we are monitoring the information," said Surakarta City BPBD Head Nico Agus Putranto in Solo, Central Java (Central Java), quoted from Antara, Monday, October 10.

The Solo City BPBD made this anticipatory effort following the warning of the potential for extreme weather from the BMKG for the period 9-15 October 2022.

"In the last three days, there has been quite a large and even rain in Solo, accompanied by wind," he said.

For 30 disaster-prone points in Solo, one of them is the area along the river that passes through the city, such as the Premulung River, Jenes River, Gajah Putih River, and Kalipepe.

In addition, there is also the potential for flood inundation at several points in the city due to drainage which is currently in the repair stage.

"At all points of the city, we have mapped 30 points," he said.

Meanwhile, related to appeals to the public, it is hoped that the public is aware of the disaster so that treatment can be carried out as early as possible.

"Because this is entering extreme weather, I ask the public to be aware of the disaster, so that in handling and reading potential disasters, people can begin to prepare themselves and work together," he said.
