Sandakan APM officer Captain Abdullah Sabaruddin said his team together with the District Disaster Management Committee and other departments and rescue agencies had started monitoring several areas identified as flood-prone sites, including the Beluran district.
"We are also monitoring settlements near water sources such as rivers and the sea because apart from the threat of floods, we are also worried about the threat of storms during continuous rains," he said when contacted by Bernama here on Wednesday . Abdullah said his team had always ensured the preparedness of all equipment, especially vehicles and boats to facilitate mobilising the affected residents.
"Despite this, the monitoring team involving APM, Fire and Rescue Department and Rela are always vigilant and ready to face any eventuality," he said.
