TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta’s Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reports that 85 neighborhood units (RT) across West, South, and East Jakarta remain flooded as of Wednesday, March 5. South Jakarta is the worst affected.
“In one neighborhood in Pengadegan, South Jakarta, floodwaters have reached 3.1 meters,” said BPBD Jakarta’s Head of Data and Information, Mohamad Yohan, in a written statement.
The flooding is due to heavy rainfall from Sunday night through Tuesday night, compounded by upstream water from Bogor, West Java, and overflowing rivers, including Pesanggrahan, Krukut, Ciliwung, and Angke.
