According to him, his party acted quickly to meet the needs of residents affected by the fire in RW 06 and 12, Manggarai Urban Village. Water was one of the most necessary needs and he immediately instructed PAM Jaya to send water tanker trucks to the evacuation site and mobile toilets.

"I will coordinate across Regional Apparatus to speed up the handling. The Health Agency (Dinkes) has also come down to monitor the health conditions of the displaced residents. All ranks have come down to provide optimal services to residents affected by this disaster," he expressed, as quoted by Jakarta Provincial Government's press release, Thursday (8/15).

He added the refugee tents used by residents were also in good condition. He also deemed the three-times-a-day food supply to be following the rules.

"The tents are quite good from the Jakarta BPBD. If there are not enough, we will add more. We'll see if it is enough for now. Food is also available, morning-afternoon-evening. What is important, I order the Dinkes to pay attention to the condition of the children. Earlier I saw that there were no refugees aged under five," he explained.

He then urged locals to maintain the electrical installations in each house in a bid to anticipate fires.

"Things that are at risk of causing fires should be given more attention and their condition should be maintained. This is a shared concern," he closed.
