BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The Civil-Military Coordination (CIMIC) Platoon of the Second Battalion Royal Brunei Land Forces (2Bn RBLF) was deployed to assist residents affected by the recent flooding in the Tutong District, in collaboration with the Tutong District Disaster Management Centre (DDMC).
A team of 19 personnel from 2Bn RBLF were deployed to provide transportation support to local residents, using four-tonne truck vehicles to navigate the flooded areas from the four-way intersection at Jalan Panchong to T-junction Kampong Kuala Ungar, Tutong District.
The deployment began on Saturday afternoon, focusing on relocating residents stranded due to the flooded roads and ensuring their safe passage to their destinations.
The several days of downpour resulted in floods in low-lying areas, rendering several residential areas and main roads inaccessible. The RBLF remains committed and always prepared to provide disaster relief efforts to the public in all four districts.
“The RBLF will also continue to collaborate with the National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) and other agencies to uphold a whole-of-nation approach to disaster response,” it said in a statement. - Borneo Bulletin/ANN
