Deputy Minister Datuk Lo Su Fui says upgraded command centre capabilities improved alert times from five minutes, alongside plans for 36 evacuation centres.
KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) can now issue flood warnings up to an hour before flooding occurs, compared with just five minutes previously, following improvements to the Kuala Lumpur Command Centre’s capabilities.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Lo Su Fui said the enhanced functions of the command centre enabled flood warnings to be issued to residents much earlier.
He said 14 flood and flash flood hotspots had been identified in Kuala Lumpur this year, but none were located within the Batu parliamentary constituency.
