Example 1: The Flood in Jakarta

- Main Event

The flooding, caused by days of heavy rain at Jakarta, has blocked roads and forced businesses in the capital to close.

- Elaboration

The governor of Jakarta has declared a state of emergency. He also said he was committed to making a "breakthrough" in efforts to tackle the flooding. Jakarta resident, Wildan, urged the government to do more to stop floods in future.

"The dams are no longer sufficient to hold the water," he said Yayat Supriatna, an urban planning expert, told the BBC that Jakarta's drainage system "is still the same as it was in the Dutch colonial era" and should be rebuilt.

"The floods are caused by the failure to manage and sustain the rivers as water reservoirs. I suggest the governor dredge the rivers because if the rivers are deeper the better [the system] will function."

- Source

The Jakarta Post said two of the people killed in the capital were children, aged 13 and two. State funds are available to help those affected by the flooding following the declaration of the state of emergency, which will remain in effect until 27 January.
