THE Drain­age and Irrig­a­tion Depart­ment (DID) said Kelantan is expec­ted to be affected by another round of floods start­ing today.

This fol­lows the issu­ance of a con­tinu­ous rain warn­ing by the Malay­sian Met­eor­o­lo­gical Depart­ment (Met­Malay­sia) yes­ter­day.

DID’s National Flood Fore­cast­ing and Warn­ing Centre said floods were likely to occur from today to Thursday in 10 dis­tricts, with river basins.

They are Tumpat, Pasir Mas, Bachok, Machang, Kota Baru, Pasir Puteh, Jeli, Tanah Merah, Kuala Krai and Gua Musang, where the Sun­gai Kelantan, Sun­gai Golok, Sun­gai Sem­erak, Sun­gai Kemasin, Sun­gai Lebir, Sun­gai Galas and Sun­gai Neng­giri basins are loc­ated, respect­ively.

“Flood warn­ings will be updated if sig­ni­fic­ant rain­fall per­sists in these basins. “The fore­cast floods may occur earlier or later than the expec­ted dates."

Dis­aster man­age­ment agen­cies and res­id­ents, espe­cially those liv­ing in high-risk areas, are urged to remain vigil­ant and to com­ply with the author­it­ies’ instruc­tions. The pub­lic is encour­aged to obtain inform­a­tion and warn­ings through the pub­li­cin­fobanjir.water.gov.my portal or the Pub­li­cIn­foBanjir Face­book page.
