Residents at flood-prone areas in FT advised to evacuate before disaster strikes


KUALA LUMPUR: Residents in flood-prone areas in the Federal Territories are advised to move to the relief centres two days ahead of expected flooding, says Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim.

The Federal Territories Minister said the move was to minimise the use of assets – especially boats and heavy vehicles – that would be needed for an evacuation.
