JAKARTA (January 4, 2020) - At
the end of 2019, our brothers and sisters in the Jabodetabek area experienced a
flood disaster due to the overflow of the river which was also triggered by
high and evenly distributed rainfall from upstream and downstream.
One form of BP3S Duties and
concerns for the people who are victims of flooding. BP3S carries out social
counseling and social assistance distribution activities.
The focus of the activity on
this occasion was flooded at Binawan University. The team in this activity
consisted of Social Instructors and Social Workers accompanied by BP3S
Secretary Harapan Lumban Gaol.
The form of activities on
this occasion began with a social outreach to children affected by flooding.
"The gripping panic
situation at the time of the flood certainly left a trace of trauma in the
hearts and minds of many people including children," said Harapan at the
Binawan University flood post.
In this situation social
counselors are present, because it is important for children and adults to get
trauma recovery or trauma healing services, added Harapan.
In addition to trauma
healing, BP3S conducts health counseling, focusing on the delivery of
information on risks, prevention and mitigation of the possibility of menural
disease after a flood.
It is expected that with
this health education, residents affected by floods will be more alert to
diseases that may arise after the flood and can prevent and mitigate them, so
that residents affected by post-flood diseases can be minimized.
The focus of other
activities is the distribution of aid in the form of food to people affected by
flooding at the Binawan University command post.
