KUCHING, Feb 6: Residents of Bintulu are advised to remain vigilant and be prepared for the possibility of floods occurring again, says Bintulu Zone 5 Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) chief Wan Kamarudin Wan Ahmad.
While weather forecasts predict no continuous heavy rainfall that could cause extraordinary flooding like last week, Wan Kamarudin said that the fire and rescue department is not underestimating the situation.
“Although we are not expecting heavy rains, we are always on standby, with our personnel and logistical support ready to respond if another flood occurs in Bintulu,” he was quoted as saying in a news report by Bernama.
Wan Kamarudin added that the Bintulu JBPM is fully equipped to handle any potential flooding.
“Nearby fire stations in Kidurong and Samalaju are also on standby to provide additional support if needed,” he said.
Last night, it was reported that Bintulu, which had nearly recovered from the previous flooding, saw several areas, including Kidurong and Sungai Plan, submerged once again. – DayakDaily
