Sabah developing new flood detection and forecasting system

KOTA KINABALU: A flood detection system called PRAB is being developed to inform users of possible monsoon floods seven days earlier and give flash flood alerts between one to three hours prior in Sabah.

Sabah Agriculture and Fishery assistant minister Datuk James Ratib said this flood warning and forecast programme was being developed by the state drainage and irrigation department together with the federal level, based on the Malaysia Meteorological Department weather forecast.
