KUALA LUMPUR — Flood evacuation efforts in Selangor and Perak showed signs of improvement Tuesday, with the number of displaced residents at relief centres dropping to 1,445 by 4pm, down from 1,484 earlier in the day.
The slight decrease in evacuee numbers suggests that water levels may be receding in some affected areas, allowing residents to gradually return to their homes. Authorities continue to monitor the situation across both states as cleanup and recovery operations proceed.
Temporary relief centres remain operational across the region to provide shelter, food, and essential services to those unable to return to their residences. State disaster management agencies have maintained their readiness to respond to any further developments.
The reduction in evacuee figures comes as weather conditions stabilise across the region. Residents have been advised to remain alert and heed warnings from local authorities regarding water safety and potential secondary flooding risks.
