Do not blame the rain – as we underlined in the title of Thursday’s headline, though we know that heavy rain is the cause of various hydrometeorological disasters.

Disasters like flooding, dam failure, landslides and land subsidence have occurred in the past few days. We appreciate the warning issued by the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), for instance during extreme weather from February 17 to February 20, as well as starting February 23 and for eth next few days.
