Adam said that with a series of swept away events, there needed to be joint anticipation efforts between the government and the community. According to him, more massive socialization is needed regarding the supervision of children, especially during extreme weather.
“ There must be attention and supervision from all parties. It's when it rains that there must be a special attraction to swim, said Adam.
He also appealed to all parties to remind each other about potential disasters in the midst of extreme weather at this time. Moreover, extreme weather still has the potential to occur some time later.
“Extreme weather is quite long. According to BMKG, the peak is from November to January, so between those months reduce outdoor activities,” he said.
