Deputy Governor of Central Java, Taj Yasin Maimoen, directly\ninspected the most severely affected location in Dukuh Solondoko,\nTrimulyo Village, Guntur Subdistrict, on Tuesday (7\/4). He emphasised\nthat flood handling cannot be done alone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have already conducted an assessment. Now we need to map it out\nin more detail and calculate what is needed. The handling cannot be done\nalone; it must be done together between the district, province, and\ncentral government,\u201d he said in a written statement on Tuesday\n(7\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
To accelerate recovery, the Central Java Provincial Government is\ncollaborating with various parties. Funding sources come from the\nprovincial, central, and district governments, Baznas, and PMI. Repair\nmanpower will also involve volunteers from community organisations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have already communicated with Ansor. InsyaAllah, Banser from\nCentral Java and the district will help with manpower for repairing\nresidents\u2019 houses,\u201d Taj Yasin explained.<\/p>\n
Several aids have begun to be distributed, including a programme to\nrepair 7 Uninhabitable Houses (RTLH), 127 food packages from Baznas\nCentral Java, and assistance worth Rp 10,065,500 from PMI Central\nJava.<\/p>\n
Affected residents are starting to feel the presence of the aid.\nMa\u2019arif (39), one of the victims, admitted that conditions are gradually\nimproving.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlhamdulillah, the aid is starting to be felt. From packed rice,\nelectricity is back on, clean water is available, to mud cleaning,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
However, the damage experienced by the residents is quite severe.\nMa\u2019arif\u2019s house is damaged by about 40 percent, while his parents\u2019 house\nwas swept away without trace along with most of its contents.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor wooden houses like ours, one unit could cost around Rp 80\nmillion. That\u2019s not including the contents,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In addition to house repairs, residents still need help searching for\nbuilding debris buried in mud.<\/p>\n
Of the 5,148 affected souls, 2,867 people were temporarily displaced.\nNow, only 12 evacuees remain in Madin Sindon. Although some areas have\nreceded, one point on the embankment that is not fully covered once\noverflowed again and inundated Dukuh Solondoko. Emergency repairs were\nimmediately carried out to anticipate rising water.<\/p>\n
Taj Yasin emphasised that the government does not want similar\nincidents to recur. Improving the flood control system will be the main\nfocus going forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important thing is to ensure this flood does not happen\nagain. That is what we are preparing for comprehensive handling,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/collaborating-with-various-parties-central-java-provincial-government-accelerates-flood-recovery-in-demak-1775609602", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
