Meanwhile, Karet Tengsin Urban Village Head, Ikhsan Kamil disclosed, during flood, PPSU personnel were sent to help residents, especially to evacuate toddler and elderly.
"We also coordinate with puskesmas to help those who need health care," he told.
Once the floods receded, PPSU was also sent to help clean the homes of residents.
