SELANGOR aims to enhance its response at disaster-stricken areas by setting up special centres to coordinate rescue efforts and distribute aid to affected communities.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the centres would be manned by Skuad Bencana, which would comprise volunteers from local communities as well as personnel from relevant agencies.
