Warden Message – Tidal Flood
May 30, 2008
Dear Warden,
The US Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, informs American citizens that the World Bank warned that a record high tide is likely to flood North Jakarta next week. The tides are expected to be at an 18-year high and World Bank experts predict that flood waters could be up to four feet deep on Tuesday, June 3, and Wednesday, June 4, 2008. A flood of this size is likely to cut off the highway to Seokarna-Hatta airport. American citizens are urged to prepare adequate stores of food and water and to expect that mobility may be significantly hampered. American citizens should stay current with media coverage of local events and be aware that the situation is likely to affect the entire city.
The U.S. Embassy intends to maintain normal consular services next week, but may have to close on short notice if conditions prevent public access to the Embassy grounds. American citizens seeking consular services may contact the Consular Section using the information below before coming to the Embassy to inquire about possible scheduling changes.
