Flood warning for Pahang and Johor

The National Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (PRABN) under the Irrigation and Drainage Department (JPS) today issued a flood warning for several locations in Johor and Pahang from tomorrow onwards. 

This was a follow-up to the continuous rain warning (danger level) issued by the meteorological department on Dec 20, and the result of a flood forecasting model simulation.

In Johor, flooding is forecast from 7am in the Mersing district at Sungai Melikai and its surroundings, and from 8pm at Kampung Jemari, Pengkalan Batu and the surrounding areas.

In Pahang, flooding is expected to occur from 11pm at areas in the Rompin district, namely at Sungai Anak Endau at the Setajam pump house and the surrounding areas.

PRABN said the warning was to place residents, especially those living in flood-prone areas, on the alert, adding that they should abide by any directives from the authorities or flood disaster management agencies.
