"We have coordinated with all the owners. We have also prepared RT/RW, Karang Taruna, FKDM, PKK, and Tagana to be ready to help when a flood comes," he explained.

For the availability of food, public kitchens, evacuation, security, and others, his party has coordinated with the related SKPDs.

"Hope there will be no flooding disaster but we are still anticipating it," he closed.
