INDONESIA FLOOD: RESCUERS ON A RUBBER BOAT SAIL THROUGH THE FLOODED STREETS IN JAKARTA. (PHOTO).

Rescuers on a rubber boat sail through the flooded streets in the southern district of Jakarta, searching for trapped residents on March 4, 2025, as torrential rains continue plummeting Indonesia's capital. 


Thousands of people were evacuated in Indonesia's capital Jakarta on Tuesday after floods swamped the region, officials said, with heavy rain expected to continue until next week. 


Torrential rain since Monday has triggered floods of up to 3 meters in and around Jakarta, the country's disaster agency said in a statement, blocking some roads and submerging over 1,000 houses and many cars. 


Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung raised the alert level to the second highest of the critical stages, calling on the local government to activate water pumps to extract water from flooded areas and conduct weather modification operations — which typically includes shooting salt flares into clouds to trigger rain before they reach land. 


Local media reported floodwaters also swamped a hospital in the eastern town of Bekasi, with water entering some wards, forcing the evacuation of patients to other buildings, while other parts of the hospital were hit by power outages.
