Joint personnel have responded to 24 fallen trees in Ciganjur Urban Village, Jagakarsa Sub-district, South Jakarta.

Ciganjur Urban Village Head Saifullah Waliulu said heavy rain accompanied by strong winds on Wednesday (11/11) at around 2 PM had caused numerous trees to fall.

"We received numerous reports and immediately coordinated with relevant agencies to work together to address the situation," he said on Thursday (11/12).

Saifullah explained that more than 50 personnel from various agencies had been deployed to handle the incident. They included personnel from PPSU, Fire and Rescue Sub-agency, City Parks and Forestry Sub-agency, South Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), and other relevant agencies.

He detailed that four fallen trees were reported in RW 01, 13 in RW 02, three in RW 03, two in RW 04, and one each in RW 05 and RW 06.

"We continued intensifying the response until the evening. However, to avoid disturbing residents while they rested, we resumed the removal work today," he said.

The incident also affected three residents' houses, while another house sustained roof damage due to strong winds, Saifullah added.

He urged residents to remain cautious and alert during heavy rain and strong winds. Residents were also advised to limit outdoor activities during extreme weather.

"We will do our best to keep residents safe and comfortable while working to clear the fallen trees as quickly as possible," he said.

Saifullah noted that Ciganjur still has many large, leafy trees, some of which require attention from the South Jakarta City Parks and Forestry Sub-agency due to their weakened conditions.

"We will ensure that these trees are promptly addressed through pruning to reduce the risk of further tree falls in our area," he said.
