Making their way back home as waters recede and shelters close

KOTA KINABALU: Residents displaced by recent floods in three districts have begun returning home as temporary evacuation centres (PPS) close, following improved weather conditions and receding floodwaters.

All eight shelters in Kota Marudu were the first to shut at 10am on Feb 1 after assessments confirmed that water levels had fully receded and affected homes were safe for occupancy, said Kota Marudu district officer Meirin Sugara.
