16 Residential Communities and 2 Road Sections Still Flooded Monday Morning, Here is the List

Jakarta’s Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reported that as of Monday at 06.00 WIB, flooding was still inundating 16 residential communities (RT) and two road sections with water depths ranging from half a metre to nearly one metre.

“However, the floodwaters are now gradually receding,” said Mohamad Yohan, head of the BPBD’s Data and Information Centre for Disaster Management, in Jakarta on Monday (8 March 2026).

The BPBD reported that on Sunday afternoon (8 March 2026), flooding had peaked, inundating 148 residential communities and 20 road sections in South, West, and East Jakarta. After that, the floodwaters gradually receded, and by Monday morning at around 06.00 WIB, 16 residential communities and two road sections remained flooded. Yohan stated that the water depths still affecting 16 residential communities in West Jakarta ranged from 30 to 90 centimetres.

“The cause of the flooding was heavy rain that struck the Jakarta region and surrounding areas on Saturday (7 March) and Sunday (8 March), as well as the overflow of several rivers in the area,” he said.

The BPBD deployed personnel to monitor flooding conditions in each area and coordinated with the Water Resources Agency, Roads and Bridges Agency, and Public Order and Disaster Management Agency to conduct water suction operations and ensure water drainage systems were functioning properly.

The BPBD urged the public to remain cautious and alert to potential flooding. In emergencies, people should immediately contact telephone number 112. This service is free and operates 24 hours non-stop.
