The flood affected 2,755 households and forced 139 person to evacuate immediately.
As explained by the Jakarta Disaster Management Agency (BPBD Jakarta), the flood was a result of the sedimentation and the narrowing of the river flow area. The river could not hold the water volume which significantly increased due to the intense rain over the last few days. Additionally, the green area was also too few (only 7% of the total area) to absorb the rain and water.
Responding to the situation, BPBD Jakarta set up a post command in each subdistrict and gave aid to the affected people.
