New Year 2020
rainfall in Jakarta is said to be the highest compared to more than 1.5
centuries ago. High rainfall is one of the factors causing floods in Greater
Jakarta (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi). The National Disaster
Management Agency (BNPB) conveyed that rainfall information delivered by the
Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG)
The DKI Jakarta
Province Regional Information Management Officer (PPID) released combined data
between the DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Bappenas,
BMKG, and Jakarta Open Data related to handling Jakarta floods on a scale of
the last five years. As a result, floods in early 2020 are known to have higher
rainfall per day than in 2013 and 2015, which is 377 mm compared to 100 mm and
277 mm.
The extreme
weather that hit the capital city of Jakarta and its surroundings made various
business activities totally paralyzed due to flooding. The velocity of money
during the New Year holidays is expected to surge sharply and will be able to
sustain Jakarta's economic growth, not as expected due to flooding. According
to Sarman Simanjorang, Chairperson of the Indonesian Indigenous Entrepreneurs
Association (HIPPI) of DKI Jakarta Province Sarman Simanjorang, floods that
were classified as unexpectedly hit businesses in various sectors such as
retail, restaurants, MSMEs, managers of tourist destinations, taxis, grabs and
Gojek.
"Transaction
losses or money circulation are estimated to reach trillions of Rupiah,"
Sarman said in a written statement in Jakarta, Sunday, January 12, 2020.
Efforts to
anticipate extreme rain and floods can be done by the community. Related to
floods that were driven by extreme rain events, the Head of Emergency
Installation (IGD) of Awal Bros West Bekasi Hospital, Vian Setyawan explained
that it was necessary to cooperate with various parties.
"The
responsiveness and cooperation of various parties are needed in anticipating
floods. It is better for the community to know where refugee camps are easily
accessible and safe from disasters, both for refugees and aid workers,"
Vian advised Health Liputan6.com in a statement, written Friday (10/1 / 2020).
