The National Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (PRABN), under the Department of Irrigation and Drainage, has issued a flood warning for vulnerable communities in Jerantut and Rompin districts in Pahang effective from tomorrow.
Residents in low-lying areas have been advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions as water levels in affected regions are projected to rise. The warning is part of routine flood management procedures during periods of elevated rainfall and water flow.
Authorities have recommended that residents in flood-prone zones prepare emergency supplies, secure valuable items, and monitor weather updates closely. Local disaster management teams have been placed on standby to respond to any flooding incidents.
The flood alert underscores the importance of preparedness during the monsoon season, when several states across the peninsula experience increased risk of inundation. Residents are urged to heed official warnings and cooperate with local authorities for their safety and that of their communities.
