The Rain Alarm – a weather application which warns you when rain is approaching your location – is one of the initiatives taken by the Kuala Krai police to monitor the latest weather forecast to prevent untoward incidents such as floods.

District police chief Supt Suzaimi Mohamad said the application could also give an initial picture of the distribution of rainfall in an area that is likely to be flooded.
