"We should establish evacuation posts, prepare evacuation facilities, and prevent waterlogging in collaboration with relevant stakeholders to accelerate flood management, evacuation of residents, distribution of logistics, and other things," he said.
In addition, Listyo emphasized that police members should focus on preparing for Covid-19 control ahead of the year-end holidays.
The government has set PPKM level III during the holidays to anticipate an increased public mobility.
According to Listyo, the police would anticipate that by strengthening their PPKM command posts.
He said the Indonesian Military (TNI), the National Police, and related stakeholders would strengthen synergies in educating the public regarding Covid-19 prevention.
"We will disseminate information regarding PPKM level 3 during Christmas and New Year, so people can prepare themselves ahead of time. We will install banners and billboards to appeal to travelers regarding health programs, as well as travel rest obligations and standards," he said. (antara/mcr20/jpnn)
