Abstract
Jakarta city is frequently affected by floods; a third of northern Jakarta is flooded on average twice a year. In February 2002, Jakarta experienced one of the most severe floods in history, which caused widespread damage and affected more than 75% of the total population of the city. Many factors caused such flood, like the loss of natural flood reduction functions of land use practices, poor operation and maintenance, the reduction of rivers capacity, sedimentation of rivers outlets, poor city drainages and the absences of early warning system. Many efforts have to be done to minimize effects of severed flood, i.e. structural efforts and non structural efforts. It is important to develop an early warning system. Despite all engineering works a certain risks remain, we must again learn to live with flood. So, government, NGOs and others must do a public risk awareness campaign.
