PETALING JAYA: A coordinated approach on mapping flooded roads will help authorities make contingency plans and keep users informed on avoiding deluged routes, according to the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) and a road traffic expert.

They said such a coordinated approach using real-time data would help guide motorists to other routes and prevent drivers from taking last-minute risks to brave the floodwaters.
