JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) together with joint officers suck up tidal or flooding in coastal areas, namely in Pluit and Marunda, North Jakarta. "We data that there are four Rukun Tetangga (RT) affected," said Head of BPBD DKI Jakarta Isnawa Adji quoted from Antara, Tuesday, December 6. Two RTs in Pluit with water levels reaching about 20 centimeters (cm) each and in Marunda with water levels of about 30-35 cm. DKI Jakarta BPBD deployed a number of personnel to monitor tidal inundation conditions and coordinate elements of the Water Resources Service (SDA), the Highways Service and the Fire and Rescue Service (Gulkarmat) to carry out inundation. The DKI Jakarta SDA Office has alerted 455 permanent (stationary) pumps and 457 mobile pumps to suck puddles and floods at a number of points in the Capital City. In addition, the joint team also ensures that the water lines function properly together with the local lurah and sub-district heads. BPBD DKI appealed to the public to remain careful and alert to potential inundation of either tidal or flooding due to rainfall. In an emergency, he said, immediately contact the telephone number 112.
