Since 17 January 2013, Jakarta hit by flood. A state of emergency has been declared after heavy rains have paralyzed much of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.
By today, some water subsided.
This weekend, I spent time visiting temporary shelters for Flood survivors. I visited Kitchen Facility in a Flood Shelter.
I just worried about accumulated garbage, any initiative idea?

I just wanna give recommendation regarding how to settle that annual problem ensuing in Jakarta which is Flooding. 1. We must know why it is always happens in Jakarta, anymore something wrong? 2. Find the main cause of flooding in Jakarta, and based on data, the causes are the conversion of forest-agriculture land of being settlement. it must be managed well by the government, and another cause is irresponsible indonesian people who throw rubbish every where. 3. the last is real action must be implemented dont keep on babling and just writting and so on.., creat the green activities like the cleaning of Ciliwung River every week.

Yup Christy, agreed with JieHye! I think the first way is how to preserve river around us, so that no more people throwing waste garbage in the river.

@Jiehey You made a good point. Actually, prevention saves more! :)

Flood problems are big issues, I hope to hear good news from Jakata. I believe that preventing these disasters are very important, since people won't get damaged by handling it beforehand.

@Christy, thanks for your input. We did it as you suggested. local people were hired to help cleaning out the garbage. now some parts of Jakarta have been much cleaner.
@all, thanksx for sharing our concerns. Any feedback welcome.

Oh thank you guys :-) I wish there will be no more victims...

The city will be in a big mess after the floods. The idea was pretty nice and I sincerely hope that the idea would be implemented soon.
Posted 22-01-2013 22:23
Great idea Christy , hope that refugees will be well and their loss will be recovered
Posted 22-01-2013 17:44
That's good idea christy. I agree with you. May be the garbage collected could be recycled. Thanks Anggi for the info. I'm living in Jakarta too, this weekend i'll coming home. Hope nothing bad happen with my home. :)
Posted 22-01-2013 13:42
Great Suggestions Christy, it is also important otherwise the garbage will make blockages
Posted 22-01-2013 13:36
Oh, what a vivid report on local disaster! Thank you Anggi, for sharing this matter.
In my opinion, how about hiring poor people(or the flood victims) to clear the garbage?
Then we can obtain to things.
1. The garbage will be gone
2. Poor people can earn some money to live on.

Flooding causes a lot of havoc to mankind.
Posted 21-01-2013 19:32
Thanks for the live update from Jakarta. I believe there must be may difficulties to clean up the streets. I think young people also help restore the city. Any good suggestions or campaign in Indonesia, friends? Please share your ideas
