The Mayor of Semarang, Agustina Wilujeng, has ensured that efforts to address the impact of floods in the Ngaliyan and Tugu areas are continuing progressively and in a coordinated manner, both in cleaning up affected areas and repairing infrastructure.

Through the Semarang City Housing and Settlement Agency, the city government has begun collecting data and surveying damage to local roads and residential facilities. This step will serve as the basis for determining priorities and accelerating repairs according to the level of damage on site.

“Regarding local roads and residential facilities, today the Disperkim team began conducting surveys and identifying damage as a basis for further action,” said Agustina, Saturday, May 16, 2026.

She also responded to a video circulating on social media regarding the condition of damaged roads after the flood. According to her, the road seen in the video is a main road that was affected by overflowing rivers and therefore requires handling involving multiple authorities.

“The damage occurred due to overflowing river currents which had a direct impact on the road surface. Because it relates to river flows and embankments, the handling will be carried out through coordination with the Pemali Juana River Basin Authority with technical support from the Semarang City Public Works Agency,” she explained.

Agustina emphasized that the handling is divided according to authority in order to be faster and more targeted. Disperkim focuses on repairing local roads and residential areas, while repairs to main roads are carried out through coordination with BBWS and DPU.

However, all levels of the City Government remain working together in the field to ensure that the handling is integrated. In addition to cleaning up mud and garbage, efforts to accelerate infrastructure repairs continue so that access and community activities can be restored immediately.

“The most important thing for us right now is to ensure that residents are still served and that all handling is carried out as quickly as possible according to conditions on the ground,” she concluded.
