More than 1,300 people from 373 families are currently housed at flood relief centres in Perak and Selangor, authorities reported on Sunday. The displaced residents fled their homes as floodwaters inundated residential areas across both states, forcing emergency evacuation measures.
Disaster management officials said the situation remained fluid as weather patterns continued to affect the affected regions. Relief centres have been mobilised to provide temporary accommodation, food, and basic necessities for evacuees awaiting the subsidence of floodwaters.
Local authorities are coordinating rescue and relief operations, with teams monitoring water levels and assisting residents in flood-prone areas. Residents in low-lying zones have been advised to remain vigilant and follow instructions from emergency services.
The flooding comes amid seasonal weather patterns that frequently impact the region. State governments have activated emergency protocols and are working to restore normalcy in affected communities once conditions stabilise.
