JAKARTA ANNUAL
FLOODING IN JANUARY
2013
Created by : Yoga Tirta Yanuar
INTRODUCTION
Severe flooding is reported to have hit Jakarta
on numerous occasions in the past, including
in 1621, 1654, 1918, 1942, 1976, 1996, 2002
and 2007.
Many parts of Jakarta were inundated
following heavy rain on January 16, 2013.
The floods killed at least 20 people and sent at
least 33,502 fleeing their houses
CAUSE AND EFFECT
An important part of the flooding problem is
caused by the fact that a substantial part of
Jakarta is low-lying. Around 24,000 ha (about 240
square km) of the main part of Jakarta is
estimated to be below sea level.
Flooding can become severe if heavy rains
happen to coincide with high tides. When this
happens, high tides tend to push water into low-
lying areas just as the run off from rains in upland
areas such as nearby Bogor is flowing down into
the Jakarta area.
DURATION
The flooding in 2013 began on Tuesday, 15 January 2013, in some parts of the city as a result of heavy rains and waterways clogged with garbage and other kinds of debris.
Serious flooding began along several main thoroughfares of Jakarta. A 30-meter-long section of Jakarta’s West Flood Canal dike on Jalan Johannes Latuharhary in Menteng collapsed.
This breach quickly caused flooding in nearby areas. Military personnel, the Jakarta public works agency, and public order officers joined forces to quickly replace the collapsed dike section with a temporary retaining wall made of rocks and sandbags. Workers finished rebuilding a section of a canal dike.
THE FLOOD IN BUNDARAN HI
TRANSPORT
The city's main airport was open but many roads leading to it were reportedly blocked.
The flooding disrupted train services from Manggarai Station in South Jakarta to Tanah Abang Station in Central Jakarta.
Most commuter trains and buses were suspended, and roads were difficult to access.
Flooding was reported at the presidential palace, forcing the postponement of a meeting between President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his visiting Argentine counterpart, Cristina Fernandez
