: The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability is enhancing flood warning sirens to reduce property damage and loss of life in preparation for the Northeast Monsoon 2024/2025, expected to start this November and continue until March 2025.
“For instance, during the floods in Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam, the sirens were not loud enough for people to hear. Many mistook them for fire or police sirens, resulting in delayed action. “When people hear this sound, they are urged to evacuate to safer locations,“ he told reporters after officiating at the National Climate Forum 2024, themed “Northeast Monsoon: Actions and Challenges on the Frontline,“ held here today.
“By making adequate preparations during the Northeast Monsoon, we can reduce the impact of flood disasters and ensure there are no loss of lives or significant property damage,“ he added.
