Mr Basuki himself stated that some areas in Jakarta have been sunken due to 360 mm/day. It definitely makes Jakarta vulnerable to floods. The condition of the land surface also continues to fall due to deep ground water.

BPBD has an effort to sensitize the community through the dissemination of what are a disaster and its risks in order to minimize them. The community must be considered as an object, not as an object. It is hoped that the community component can be recovered after a disaster very quickly.
