"We urge locals to stay alert, as well as to store goods and securities in a safe place," he expressed, on the sideline of the cleanup activity.

To overcome the flood on the banks of the Cipinang River, a reservoir and a sodetan (crossing channel) will be made on a five-hectare wide land next to the Jagorawi filter gate, Kramat Jati Urban Village.

"By so, we can minimize the impact of flood in Kramat Jati, Dukuh, Makasar and Cipinang Melayu urban villages, as water from Bogor is accommodated here before it flows into these villages," he explained.

To realize it, he and his staff would hold a coordination meeting tomorrow, Monday (3/2).

Kramat Jati Sub-district Head Eka Darmawan added the worst stricken area is in RW 11 that consists of RT, 03, 14 and 16.

"Besides today's activity, similar action is also held in each urban village during rainy season," he said.
