BPBD: Be Aware of Extreme WeatherHe explained the heavy rain caused water in the channel to overflow onto the street. Even, personnel deployed a motor cart to clear garbage clogged in the channel.
"Actually, this is our routine agenda to monitor and clean garbage in the residential and channel," he explained.
By doing so, currently, the condition is under control and residents can carry out their usual activities. Therefore, he urged residents to maintain cleanliness by not littering.
The quick action above received appreciation from RW 05 Chairman, Ali Usman. According to him, Jalan Kelapa Dua is slightly concave so it is easy for flooding to occur.
"This area is indeed prone to flooding but only briefly and recedes when the rain stops. This time, it was a little hampered because there was garbage in the drainage tank which was blocking the water from flowing," he concluded.
