BPBD Warns Jakarta Coastal Areas of Tidal Floods

Super New Moon Triggers High Tides

The Super New Moon aligns with maximum sea water tides. The combination forces coastal water onto the land. Sea levels will reach high points every evening. Peak tide occurs between 6:00 PM and midnight.

Weather officials tracked the movement of the moon and sea. BMKG Class I Maritime Station Tanjung Priok confirmed the forecast. Residents along the shoreline must secure their homes early. Water could enter residential sectors rapidly.

Affected Coastal Zones Listed

At least 11 coastal areas face direct flooding risks. The zones include Kamal Muara and Kapuk Muara. Penjaringan and Muara Angke also expect rising sea waters. Other northern areas prepare for potential impact.

Local authorities monitor water pumps in vulnerable districts. Emergency response teams stand ready near the northern shore. Drainage channels are being cleared to handle overflow. The threat remains active through the middle of the month.

Safety Precautions and Measures

BPBD advises citizens to store valuables on higher ground. Drivers should avoid flooded roads near coastal basins. Emergency services remain on high alert throughout the cycle. Public channels provide real-time water level updates.

The coastal community faces repeated natural pressures each year. Stronger defenses and infrastructure are under constant demand. Will the current barriers protect the northern shoreline this week? Coastal residents must remain watchful as the tides rise.

Can local infrastructure withstand the rising water during this celestial event? The city faces another test against the ocean tide. Will emergency preparations prove sufficient to prevent severe damages?
