Additionally, several\nwater pumps have been placed on standby to accelerate the process of\ndraining water back to the sea should inundation occur due to high\ntides.<\/p>\n<p>Pelindo has also deployed personnel and operational teams at several\nstrategic points to monitor and respond quickly if the tidal flood\nphenomenon recurs during the period predicted by BMKG.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have prepared various anticipatory measures, from normalising\ndrainage channels, to standby pumps, and personnel in the field,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Ana also urged all port service users and communities around the port\narea to remain vigilant regarding the potential for tidal flooding\nduring the period predicted by BMKG and to always follow official\ninformation from the relevant authorities.<\/p>",
