Kangar - The Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, has urged the people to have basic skills to face natural disasters.
He said, loss of life could be minimised if the people had such skills.
"The past few years have exposed us to some disasters. This is a challenge as to whether we are sufficiently prepared," said Tuanku Syed Faizuddin during the opening of the International Disaster Response Seminar here Monday.
Also present at the event was the Raja Puan Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil.
About 200 participants attended the five-day seminar which was organised by the Perlis Government, Tuanku Syed Putra Foundation and Colorado-based Humanitarian International Service Group, among others.
