KUALA LUMPUR — Heavy rainfall and severe weather conditions have forced the evacuation of more than 400 residents across Perak and Selangor, with authorities establishing multiple temporary relief centres to accommodate those displaced from their homes.
The 422 evacuees, drawn from 119 families, remain sheltered at the centres as emergency response teams continue to monitor weather conditions and assess damage across both states. The evacuations were triggered by a combination of flooding, intense storms and landslide activity in vulnerable areas.
State authorities have mobilised resources to provide essential supplies and support services at the relief centres. Emergency management teams are working to ensure the safety of evacuees while clearing debris and conducting damage assessments in affected communities.
Weather forecasts indicate continued monitoring is necessary as the region remains susceptible to further rainfall. Residents in flood-prone areas have been advised to remain vigilant and follow official guidance from disaster management authorities.
The exact causes and extent of property damage are still being evaluated, with officials expected to provide updated information as assessments progress.
