Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo inspected the evacuation posts for flood-affected residents in the Doropayung Village Hall sub-district, Juwana District, Pati Regency, Friday, March 3. Although the flood has gradually receded, local residents still choose to stay in refugee camps.

Ganjar ensured that the logistics supply for the refugees who were still staying in the refugee camps was safe and guaranteed availability.

"We ask for several points that are prone to being prepared, we lead from Central Java so that they can be coordinated, the meeting point is in Central Java," said Ganjar after reviewing the flood.

Ganjar Pranowo moved quickly to coordinate with all relevant parties to anticipate further flooding due to the overflow of the Juwana River and the broken embankment.

"So we are trying to add equipment to fix it faster. It is a bit long because it has to clean up the upstream, because upstream there are also many problems related to deforestation, high sedimentation, and embankments that are prone to breaking," said Ganjar.

Not only that, the intensity of rainfall that is still high and tends to be extreme also makes people must always be aware of the possibility of flooding that will occur.

"If the map is there, the point is there, then we are on standby at that place, while we see weather conditions. Hopefully the weather conditions will improve. But this March we have to stand by," said Ganjar Pranowo.
