In Gua Musang, Bernama reported that residents were urged to remain vigilant and evacuate to the nearest PPS if their area was flooded.

Gua Musang Disaster Operations Control Centre chairman Nik Raisnan Daud said the warning was issued due to the rising water levels of several major rivers in the area following heavy rainfall since Monday.

“We have observed an upward trend in the water levels of rivers in Gua Musang.

“If the rain continues throughout this evening (yesterday), more areas may get flooded. “Disaster management agencies, including the police and Fire and Rescue Department, are on standby to help with evacuations at any moment.”

Gua Musang police chief Superintendent Sik Choon Foo said besides interior villages, several areas near Gua Musang town had begun to flood yesterday morning.

“Among the affected areas are Jalan Kampung Pulai, Felda Aring 2, Felda Chiku 2, Jalan Bandar Gua Musang, Kampung Batu 5 and Batu 6.

“Roads in these areas are beginning to flood. “Residents are urged to exercise caution and follow the authorities’ instructions if they are ordered to evacuate to PPS.

“They are advised to bring essential documents, such as their identity cards.” Sik urged parents to closely monitor their children, particularly

when water levels rise in their neighbourhoods, to ensure their safety and prevent unfortunate incidents. The Welfare Department’s Info Bencana portal showed that one PPS was opened in Gua Musang.

Dewan Semai Bakti Felda Chiku 7 is accommodating 125 people from 30 families.

Sebanyak 20 pemilik kenderaan yang ditenggelami air dalam kejadian banjir kilat di Presint 11 Putrajaya pada Ahad lalu menerima bantuan RM1,000.

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Wilayah Persekutuan) Dr Zaliha Mustafa berkata, Perbadanan Putrajaya juga akan membuat parkir interim yang memuatkan kira-kira 200 kenderaan sebagai tindakan jangka pendek dan meminta pihak perbadanan menyelesaikannya dalam tempoh dua minggu.

“Selain itu, saya minta Perbadanan Putrajaya menyediakan sistem amaran dengan penggunaan siren dan amaran kepada penduduk di kawasan itu untuk alihkan kenderaan dengan segera.

“Ini boleh dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan Internet of Things (IoT) iaitu sensor akan dipasang di petak penyelenggaraan saliran di seluruh Putrajaya untuk mengesan tahap ketinggian air,” katanya dalam kenyataan di Facebook, kelmarin.
