Emergency

We will provide basic needs for the people such as, rice, cooking oil, salt, sugar, flour, noodle, coffee, tea, etc. We will bring the people who are in a bad condition (any sickness/disease) to the clinic, and we will pay the bills and medication.

"When floods hit, kampung families are first to suffer and last to receive help."

When it matters most

How we respond to emergencies

Jakarta floods regularly. Kampung communities are always hardest hit and last to receive government support. We respond within hours, not days, through our network of local contacts on the ground.

Food

Food & clean water

Emergency food packages and clean drinking water distributed within 24 hours of a disaster event to affected kampung families.

Shelter

Temporary shelter

Practical shelter materials and support for families displaced by flooding in Jakarta's most vulnerable kampung areas.

Network

Community network

Our deep roots in the kampungs mean we know exactly who needs help and how to reach them, without bureaucratic delay.

Emergency response in flood-prone communities

Flooding in Jakarta can escalate in hours, especially in low-lying kampung areas near rivers and rail corridors. Families can lose access to safe water, transport and basic food immediately. In these moments, speed matters more than perfect paperwork, and local networks become the difference between delay and response.

Our emergency aid model is designed for this reality. We coordinate with trusted contacts inside affected communities, assess the most urgent needs and deliver essentials quickly. This includes food packages, clean water and support for temporary shelter so families can stabilize while larger systems catch up.

From immediate aid to community resilience

Emergency work is not only about one distribution event. We document what happened, what failed and what should be improved before the next flood cycle. This helps communities plan better, protect vulnerable households and reduce repeated disruption.

Because Hidden Jakarta already works in these neighbourhoods through tours and local programs, support is relationship-based rather than transactional. We are not arriving as strangers during a crisis. We are supporting communities we already know, which leads to better targeting and less waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
