“One of the things that will be applied is new, if there is news (of a flood), then the notification will go directly to residents,” said Anies at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, on (8/1/2020).

“So the kelurahan does not go to RW, RT, but directly to the community around with a toa (loudspeaker) to tell everything, including sirens,” he said.

The Head of the BPBD Data and Information Center (Kapudatin), M. Ridwan, said that the loudspeaker, called the Disaster Warning System (DWS), is part of the DKI Jakarta BPBD’s Early Warning System (EWS).

“The tool is using a toa, but not a toa like the one in the mosque,” Wednesday (15/1/2020), quoted from Tribune Jakarta.

“If you use more toa, it will be better to provide information to residents,” he said at that time.

But now, Anies Baswedan assessed that the use of TOA to deal with flooding is very irrelevant to conditions in the field.

Adapt City News, Anies asked BPBD Jakarta not to buy these tools from Japan anymore.

“This is not an early warning system, but this is a TOA and a TOA, this is not a system,” Anies said during a leadership meeting (rapim) for flood control, as quoted from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government YouTube on Friday (7 / 8/2020).

Anies then quipped the BPBD for being persuaded by a grant from a Japanese company to promote TOA as a flood disaster early warning tool.

According to him, TOA is more effectively used as a warning tool for tsunami disasters, not flooding.

“If there is a flood, how many minutes will it take between the warning and the incident? Well, it took a long time, why do you use this tool ?, ”said Anies in amazement.

This is because water deliveries from Katulampa Weir, Bogor City, West Java tend to take a long time or several hours to arrive in the capital.

Anies suggested that BPBD officers prepare other means of communication for flood early warning, for example with the WhatsApp application or mosque loudspeakers.

“This is the best way of promotion, the grants used to run out were procurement. And their strategy (Japanese companies) was successful, so we keep on shopping, “he said sarcastically BPBD DKI Jakarta.
