The Minister of Home Affairs, Pehin Orang Kaya Johan Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia Awg Hj Adanan has called on the relevant agencies to carry out flood mitigation activities in preparation for the forecast of heavy rains and potential flash floods.
Flood operation centres have been activated in various districts whilst other efforts include the setting up of flood-preparedness working groups to share information and strengthen coordination.
Further long-term projects include a community-based disaster risk management project to be launched in March 2010 in Mukim Labi. A training of trainers was held in Mukim Rambai and Ukong last November on "hazard-mapping" to ensure that all villages have both "hazard maps" and contingency plans for floods and other disasters.
