KUALA LUMPUR: Situasi banjir di Pahang dan Negeri Sembilan menunjukkan perkembangan positif apabila bilangan mangsa yang masih berada di pusat pemindahan sementara (PPS) di kedua-dua negeri itu menurunan malam Khamis (Feb 20).
Di Pahang, Pengarah Pertahanan Awam Pahang Kol (PA) Che Adam A Rahman berkata jumlah mangsa di negeri itu menurun kepada 49 orang daripada 12 keluarga sehingga 8 malam ini dan ditempatkan di PPS Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Lanchang, Temerloh, yang dibuka hari Khamis.
“Banjir di sekitar Karak yang surut telah mengalir turun ke Sungai Semantan dan melimpah ke kawasan Lanchang menyebabkan berlakunya banjir dan penduduk berhampiran tebing sungai terpaksa dipindahkan ke SK Lanchang,” katanya kepada Bernama.
Katanya sebuah PPS di daerah Bentong yang menempatkan 140 mangsa daripada 47 keluarga ditutup petang tadi selepas mangsa dibenarkan kembali ke rumah masing-masing.
“Keadaan cuaca pada masa ini baik. Air juga surut, kerja-kerja pasca pembersihan mencapai 95 peratus. Saya jangkakan esok semua mangsa banjir boleh pulang ke rumah masing-masing,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan hari Khamis.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 — A total of 650 tonnes of aid worth RM35 million, contributed by various parties, has been successfully distributed to flood victims nationwide during the 2024/2025 Northeast Monsoon (MTL) season.
National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) director-general Datuk Khairul Shahril Idrus said the donated items included personal care kits, hygiene kits, financial assistance and school aid.
“All aid was delivered in phases through various means, including air transport for Sabah and Sarawak. This ensured that the aid reached the victims as quickly as possible,” he said in a statement yesterday.
The latest aid shipment from NGOs was delivered to flood-affected areas on Feb 15, comprising eight tonnes of ready-to-eat food packs and 5,000 family essentials kits weighing 47 tonnes.
In addition to providing compassionate aid of RM1,000 to household heads registered at relief centres, Khairul Shahril said NADMA has established strategic collaborations with its registered partner NGO, known as ‘Rakan NADMA’.
“Rakan NADMA is involved in managing and coordinating aid distribution. To ensure smooth delivery, NADMA coordinated efforts between Rakan NADMA and representatives from disaster management committees.
“We greatly appreciate the close cooperation between state governments, NGOs, corporate bodies, and youth volunteers in delivering post-disaster aid. Effective coordination and communication have ensured that aid reached disaster victims quickly and systematically,” he said.
At the same time, he advised the public to remain vigilant about weather warnings issued by the Malaysian Meteorological Department and to follow instructions from the authorities to prevent unwanted incidents, as the MTL season is still not over. — Bernama

Kuala Lumpur: Kejadian banjir di Karak berpunca daripada ribut petir dan hujan lebat yang berpanjangan, bermula pada malam 18 Februari hingga awal pagi kelmarin.
Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (Metmalaysia), Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip, berkata keadaan itu turut berlaku di beberapa daerah di Pahang, Selangor dan Perak.
“Hujan lebat ini bukan disebabkan oleh luruan monsun, tetapi oleh penumpuan angin di kawasan tengah Semenanjung pada tarikh berkenaan,” katanya kepada BH.
Beliau berkata, Metmalaysia turut menjangka luruan monsun akan memasuki rantau negara pada 21 hingga 25 Februari ini.
Amaran hujan berterusan
Katanya, keadaan itu berpotensi menyebabkan hujan berterusan di Sabah, Sarawak dan timur Semenanjung dalam tempoh berkenaan.
“Amaran hujan berterusan akan dikeluarkan sebaik output model ramalan mencapai tahap keyakinan yang tinggi,” katanya.
Kelmarin, BH melaporkan Kampung Karak Setia dan Kampung Mangin di Karak, Bentong, Pahang, dilanda banjir dengan 38 keluarga sudah berpindah ke pusat pemindahan sementara (PPS) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Karak Setia.
