Tangerang Floodwaters Rose

Tangerang Disaster Mitigation (Tagana) teams evacuated hundreds of residents from their
homes in the Ciledug Indah housing complex in Ciledug district Tangerang after floodwaters
inundated the area on Wednesday.
Water of up to 50-centimeters-deep began to inundate the housing complex on Tuesday. By
Wednesday morning, the water reached up to two meters in some parts of the complex.
Many vehicles belonging to residents were also trapped in the flood because the owners did
not have a chance to move them to a higher place.
Temporary shelters inside government offices and mosques were set up to house the
evacuates. But some residents refused to leave their homes, citing security concerns. They
also said that it would be tiresome to walk between their homes and the shelters to check on
their houses.
“I prefer to stay at home because it is unsafe to leave home,” local man Dedi Safe’i told The
Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

Banjir di Tangerang Semakin Tinggi

Tim Mitigasi Bencana Daerah Tangerang telah mengevakuasi ratusan warga dari rumah
mereka di kompleks perumahan Ciledug Indah di Tangerang setelah banjir menggenangi
daerah itu pada hari Rabu.
Air hingga 50-sentimeter mulai menggenangi kompleks perumahan pada hari Selasa. Hari
Rabu pagi, air mencapai hingga dua meter di beberapa bagian kompleks.
Banyak kendaraan milik warga juga terjebak dalam banjir karena pemilik tidak sempat untuk
memindahkan kendaraan mereka ke tempat yang lebih tinggi.
Tempat penampungan sementara di dalam kantor-kantor pemerintah dan masjid didirikan
untuk rumah pengungsi. Tetapi beberapa warga menolak untuk meninggalkan rumah mereka,
karena alasan keamanan. Mereka juga mengatakan bahwa akan melelahkan selalu memeriksa
rumah-rumah mereka dari tempat penampungan.
“Saya lebih memilih untuk tinggal di rumah karena meninggalkan rumah itu tidak aman,”
kata orang lokal Dedi Safe’i kepada The Jakarta Post pada hari Rabu.
