KUALA NERUS: Sixty-four schools in Terengganu have been identified as at risk of flooding following the onset of the northeast monsoon late last month.
Terengganu Education Department director Kamsah @ Kamal Mohamed said meetings and simulations had been conducted to coordinate disaster preparedness measures.
He said the department had also requested agencies, including the police, Social Welfare Department, and Civil Defence Force, to mobilise personnel and logistics immediately in the event of floods or other emergencies.
"Sometimes, floods are unpredictable. There are places where we expect flooding, but it does not occur, and vice versa. However, we have discussed the data at meetings and called on all departments and agencies to help mobilise logistical resources," he said after officiating at the "Majlis Menjulang Bakti Menyulam Legasi" ceremony here today.
