00:21 Directorate General of Water Resources of PUPR Ministry,

00:24 Dwi Purwantoro, in the Regency of Agam Selasa 14 May said,

00:29 "For this initial stage, the team will first secure the river body

00:33 by doing a flood relief using 20 heavy equipment

00:37 which are spread over several streams.

00:39 This step is so that the river current does not block

00:42 and tighten the right and left sides of the river

00:45 so that the impact can be minimized

00:47 and the river flow can continue again.

00:50 In addition, the team will also check

00:53 whether there is still a dam

00:55 in the upstream of the river.

00:59 "If we anticipate it, we check whether there is still a dam

01:07 in the upstream.

01:09 Because yesterday it was thought that there was a natural dam

01:12 which suddenly collapsed and caused the flood below.

01:17 So we have planned from PUPR to reduce the equipment

01:22 by about 20 for this flood relief."

01:26 Dwi ensured that he would coordinate with the National Body

01:31 for the Disaster Management of BNPB and the regional government

01:35 regarding which river flow should be normalized.

01:39 In addition, the PUPR Ministry also targeted

01:42 repair or replacement of damaged bridges
