KUALA LUMPUR – The National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) will channel its RM260 million allocation under Budget 2027 toward constructing more Permanent Disaster Relief Centres (PPKBs) and acquiring essential preparedness equipment, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced today.
Speaking at a press conference following the launch of National Preparedness Month 2026 at the Ipoh Convention Centre, Ahmad Zahid emphasized that the funding boost would strengthen frontline operational readiness, particularly during severe flood crises.
“We want to establish two permanent disaster relief centres in each state. Insya-Allah, with the additional allocation next year, we will add more according to requirements,” said Ahmad Zahid, who chairs the National Disaster Management Committee.
He noted that the target of two PPKBs per state will focus strategically on high-risk hotspot areas prone to recurrent flooding and mass evacuations.
The initiative expands on ongoing efforts outlined on July 6 by Deputy Digital Minister Datuk Wilson Ugak Kumbong, who informed the Dewan Rakyat that 15 PPKBs across nine states were scheduled to open in stages beginning this year. Of those initial 15, facilities in Johor and Pahang are complete, nine remain under construction, and four are in procurement and planning phases.
Beyond physical infrastructure, Ahmad Zahid confirmed that the budget will fund critical rescue assets—including boats and high-capacity water pumps—for responding agencies.
Direct financial assistance for disaster victims is also receiving a major boost. Ahmad Zahid announced that the maximum home repair grant for affected families has doubled from RM5,000 to RM10,000.
Furthermore, disbursement protocols have been streamlined to ensure faster financial relief.
“In addition, aid management has also been improved, with Bantuan Wang Ihsan being distributed to victims while they are at Temporary Evacuation Centres, before they return to their respective homes, to expedite assistance to affected families,” he said. – October 12, 2026

IPOH, Oct 11 — Preparedness in disaster management helps reduce property losses, including damage to public assets and infrastructure, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said that losses due to disasters in the country last year reached RM636.9 million, including RM380.2 million involving public assets and infrastructure.
“This figure was lower than the RM933.4 million in 2024. That is why preparedness must protect two important values, namely the value of life and economic value. Yes, we want to save lives, while also protecting homes, taking care of people’s livelihoods and preserving the fruits of the people’s hard work.
“This is where the early warning system comes in. These are awareness programmes that we must collectively translate into action. We want to raise public awareness of the importance of National Preparedness Month (BKN) in building the capacity to address potential risks before disaster strikes,” said Ahmad Zahid, who also chairs the Central Disaster Management Committee.
He said this when officiating at the launch of BKN 2026 at the Ipoh Convention Centre here today.
Also present were Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) director-general Datuk Seri Meor Ismail Meor Akim.
Ahmad Zahid said rescue teams would be mobilised whenever a disaster occurred, while the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) provided early warning systems to identify hotspots expected to experience floods and other disaster risks.
“However, the ability to respond efficiently after a disaster must be accompanied by a strong commitment to reducing risks before they occur. Our success is also be measured by how effectively we protect the public and reduce the risks faced by those who may be affected,” he said.
Meanwhile, he said disaster risk reduction should begin at the land-use planning and urban development stages, including identifying areas at risk of landslides and taking early action.
In addition, he said river management and the monitoring of high-risk areas are crucial for mitigating the impact of disasters.
He said early warning must be timely, easily understood and followed by actions to save lives during disasters, including giving families sufficient time to evacuate before water levels rise and helping the elderly and children reach safety, with effective communication being a key factor.
Ahmad Zahid also urged every state to translate the National Disaster Risk Reduction Policy 2030 into action plans tailored to local risks, with clearly defined agency responsibilities and implementation targets to ensure comprehensive protection for the people.
“We have managed to develop the Cell Broadcast System through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), which is now in its final stage. The system does not merely monitor TikTok and other online posts; it also allows alerts to be sent directly to mobile phones in at-risk areas without interfering with or using personal data,” he added.
He said field operations were also supported by volunteers, with nearly 30,000 volunteers from 45 agencies across 14 states participating in more than 1,000 disaster relief missions over the past 10 months.
“We adhere to the two Cs: communication and coordination, with the two Cs meaning information must be conveyed clearly and on time.
“Actions must also be coordinated so that the people know what needs to be done, the committee knows how to provide assistance and agencies can act without delay.. this is the shift I want to see resulting from this National Preparedness Month,” he added. — Bernama

Sementara itu, Batu Pahat, Johor mencatat bacaan tertinggi setakat ini iaitu 193, diikuti Johan Setia (189) dan Nilai, Negeri Sembilan (188).
Keadaan jerebu yang semakin tebal menyebabkan jarak penglihatan terjejas, terutama pada waktu pagi, selain memberi kesan kepada aktiviti luar.
Orang ramai, khususnya golongan berisiko seperti kanak-kanak, warga emas dan individu yang mempunyai masalah pernafasan, dinasihatkan mengehadkan aktiviti luar sekiranya keadaan semakin buruk.-UTUSAN
