It was over at midnight. The lights on the guard post of the sluice were still on. The water in the dam is still increasing. The water level at the dam's sluice already shows the number 830 cm. At that time, Jimy was maintaining the altitude of the air. Every now and then he didn't know anything, looked at the air level and reported to the person in charge of the sluice. With the height now it is in the standby state 3. If the water continues to increase until it reaches the number 850 to 950 it will change to standby 2 and if it is more than 950 cm it will enter into standby 1.
In the rainy season like now Jimy must always be vigilant. He has to report the latest developments every half hour. Even when he saw the air level reached 945, he used the radio to contact the head office so that he could anticipate the possibility.
In this situation, all officers will stay in the office for several days. Today is the third day Jimy serves the air entrance, he has not returned home and stayed overnight in his office. a very big responsibility to protect the city from the dangers of flooding. Of course there were protests from the children when he had to stay overnight at the office, his wife and children would be present at home. The rainy season is a period full of trials to work and stay at the office. Often the children asked why their father didn't come home.
"Yes, father has to work and make a water level report. So sometimes I stay at the water guard post, "replied Jimy.
"When are you coming home? How long does it take to come home? '
it's an innocent question that often makes Jimy feel sad.
Initially his wife also agreed but we can guide and take care of it.
"This is my responsibility, you have to understand and get used to it."
Jimy looked back at the water level indicator. He still remembers last month checking the air level floating in the floodgates. When they found them, they immediately reported it to the local police and related offices.
"Please permit to report. At the sluice guard post there was a body floating. "
The report was immediately followed up by lifting the body using an excavator and coordinating with the police.
Luckily when he returned to see the water level began to look reduced. There is a sense of relief and a little calm because the flood will not happen. Jimy still remembers being the doorman, often complaining from the public asking them to open the door even though they had opened it.
"Open the floodgates so that the flood doesn't hit our place."
"Yes. It's already opened."
Many residents did not know and asked for the door to be opened because the resident's houses were flooded, even though it was already opened.
This time Jimy could take turns resting with his friends and alternately sleep quietly.
