How this atlas is made · What “last verified” means

Ahead of the 2025/26 peak rainy season the city set out what its flood early-warning system actually consists of: 13 CCTV cameras watching rivers and channels at points across the city, and river water-level sensors at two locations — the Cikapundung Viaduct and the Teras Cikapundung area. Readings go to the Bandung Command Center, which correlates them with the camera feeds and the 112 emergency line to speed up response. The city describes no automatic trigger: the chain runs monitoring, then a staffed decision, then dispatch. Bandung has roughly 2.67 million residents.

🎓 Lesson

Two sensors is a defensible starting point and a very thin instrument for a basin city — and the useful thing here is that the city published the number rather than a slogan. An early-warning system should always be read as its narrowest link, which is usually the count of instruments, not the sophistication of the room they report to.
