Indonesian regional flood mitigation efforts

Overview

Indonesian regional governments and military units are intensifying flood mitigation and infrastructure normalization efforts to prepare for the rainy season.

In West Java, Lanud Sulaiman is conducting river normalization on the Cikungkurak and Cikahiyang rivers to increase water capacity and reduce flood risks in the Margahayu region. Governor Dedi Mulyadi noted that this inter-agency cooperation serves as a model for environmental management.

In other regions, such as Makassar, public works departments have deployed personnel to dredge canals and normalize drainage channels in flood-prone sub-districts. Meanwhile, the Demak Regency is prioritizing the reinforcement of river embankments and the maintenance of water gates to prevent flooding caused by breached embankments. These infrastructure projects are being implemented in stages throughout 2026 based on regional vulnerability and potential economic loss.
