Menurut wali kota, sejatinya penyebab banjir adalah dimulai dari diri sendiri. Untuk itu, masyarakat harus merubah perilaku tidak baik yang dapat menyebabkan banjir. “Jangan sampai pemerintah yang disalahkan kalau sudah bencana banjir datang. Kita harus mengevaluasi diri sendiri dulu,” pesan Habib Hadi.
“Saya mengapresiasi tugas para relawan yang sudah mau berusaha keras. Terima kasih. Jika ada sesuatu hal yang ingin disampaikan silahkan utarakan,” sambung wali kota memotivasi para relawan.
Makan bareng bersama relawan itu juga diikuti Kepala Bakesbangpol Achmad Sudiyanto, Ketua Komunitas Probolinggo 4x4 Teguh Bagus Sujawanto, Kepala BPBD Sugito Prasetyo. Di Kota Probolinggo terdapat 22 orang relawan cegah banjir, diantaranya petugas monitoring keliling wilayah dan bersiaga di posko.
