We must synergize with each other in disaster management
The East Jakarta administration strengthens internal synergies, to determine steps to anticipate and deal with disasters in the rainy season. This effort was initiated by East Jakarta Mayor, Muhammad Anwar, by summoning the heads of regional apparatus organizations (OPD) on Monday (11/7).
In this three-hour meeting, his party discussed technical anticipation and evaluation of disaster management, such as floods, landslides, and fallen trees.

"We must synergize with each other in disaster management. This evaluation meeting needs to involve many parties to maximize the anticipation of flood management in the region," he explained.
He cited that if the fallen tree only involved the Parks and City Forest Sub-agency, the results would not be optimal. Moreover, the East Jakarta area is very wide and there are many large trees in 10 sub-districts
"If we only depend on one sub-agency, we can't cover all of them," he said.
