IPOH: Corporations are urged to provide waterproof bags to villagers in flood-prone areas to allow them to pack essential items before they leave their houses during such disasters, say several experts.

Global Environment Centre (GEC) river care programme manager Dr K. Kalithasan said this could be part of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of companies interested to help during disasters.
