JAKARTA – Heavy flooding has affected 29 neighborhood units (RT) across East Jakarta, West Jakarta, and South Jakarta, with water levels reaching up to 2.5 meters, according to the Jakarta Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) report on Tuesday.
“Based on data collected this morning, flooding has been recorded in 29 RTs,” said Mohamad Yohan, Head of the Data and Information Center at BPBD Jakarta, as quoted by Antara.
The areas most impacted are neighborhoods along the Ciliwung River, particularly in East Jakarta, South Jakarta, and West Jakarta.
According to BPBD data, Cililitan and Cawang in East Jakarta are experiencing the worst flooding, with water levels ranging from 2.3 to 2.5 meters.
The flooding follows heavy rainfall in Jakarta and surrounding areas on Monday, which caused water levels to rise at key monitoring posts.
“This led to the Krukut Hulu monitoring post reaching alert level three around 10:00 p.m. on Monday,” Yohan explained.
