KUCHING, Nov 4: The Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) will coordinate with the Election Commission (EC) on weather conditions ahead of the coming 13th Sarawak Election, particularly to ensure adequate preparations for remote areas that may require helicopter services.
SDMC chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said the committee would arrange for the Sarawak Meteorological Department to brief the EC on the latest weather forecasts once the election dates are determined.
He said this was important as the state was currently experiencing the northeast monsoon season, which is expected to continue until March next year.
“We do not know when the election will be held. The EC will determine that. However, we have been informed that the monsoon has started and will continue until March next year.
