Malaysian Civil Defense Force (APM) Kelantan director Mohd Adzhar Mujab said they should be prepared to evacuate when the need arose.
"Residents are also advised not to easily believe unverified information or news, especially on floods as it can cause anxiety among the public," he said when contacted by Bernama today.
Mohd Adzhar said a total of 1,349 APM personnel including officers in Kelantan had been placed on standby for the possibility of floods as well as 84 boats, 16 lorries, 14 four-wheel drive vehicles and 13 ambulances.
He said a series of skills training involving the APM personnel and the local community had been held in preparation for the flood situation. - BERNAMA
