The effect of the full night's rain in early April
Heavy rain is the cause of floods and landslides. During the rainy season, the area where I live has a high threat of flooding. Floods are usually caused by high-intensity rain, which results in material losses and loss of life. Floods and landslides in the rainy season often occur and are often considered as fate that must happen, so they tend to be accepted as they are. Because disasters often occur, and repeat every year, education and disaster risk management are needed. So that material losses and casualties can be minimized.
When entering the rainy season in the area where I live, I should have early prevention and mitigation efforts. The rainy season often causes an unfriendly impact, namely natural disasters caused by extreme weather. Natural disasters that often occur where I live during the rainy season are floods and landslides.
Disaster Mitigation During the Rainy Season.
Introducing and monitoring the risk of floods and landslides, increasing awareness for people living on slopes of landslide prone soils, because hard soil during the dry season will be exposed to rainwater and experience a loosening process. Like limestone drenched in water. So easy to collapse / landslide.
Improve cultural awareness education to the public about floods and landslides, so that people are more prepared and alert when facing floods and landslides.
Implementing pragmatic disaster management.
Identify the causes of floods and landslides so that they can be more alert during the rainy season which has the potential for flooding and landslides.
Monitoring natural water resources optimally.
Using technology for flood and landslide emergency response.
Good management of spatial planning and environmental management.
Listen to extreme weather early warning information from relevant agencies including BMKG for extreme weather information.
Precisely at the beginning of April, another flood occurred where I live, there were so many losses caused, and for some reason it seemed as if I had become a regular in the flood.
