Tangerang City Maps Drought‑Prone Zones Across Eight Districts

The municipal government of Tangerang mapped three drought‑risk zones covering eight districts after a hydrometeorological study. Zone 1 includes Batuceper, Neglasari and Cipondoh; Zone 2 covers Jatiuwung and Cibodas; Zone 3 comprises Pinang, Ciledug and Karang Tengah. Residents in these zones will be monitored for water availability and fire risk.

Mitigation actions involve the TNI Koramil deploying eight water‑tank trucks, the Metro Tangerang police operating 95 officers with armored water cannons, and Perumda Tirta Benteng ensuring continuous clean‑water supply. The public works department prepared 30 water tanks and inspected hydrant networks. Officials cite BMKG forecasts of a prolonged dry season and an active El Niño, prompting heightened vigilance across the city.
