As the Northeast Monsoon is hitting Malaysia, Digi is sharing its refreshed Flood Preparedness Toolkit, containing steps that can be taken before, during and after a flood.
People living in flood-prone areas are advised to stock up on essentials in a grab bag ahead of the floods. This includes basic supplies such as food, water, clothing, and medication, as well as electrical necessities like a fully-charged device, powerbanks, torchlights, and spare batteries.
The flood toolkit also details useful tips on preserving the mobile phone’s battery and other do’s and don’ts during a flood, such as wearing solid shoes, not to drive into the flood waters, and closing all windows or entryways to reduce flood water damage to homes, among others.
Empowering the community in times of need as part of its Yellow Heart commitment, Digi hopes this refreshed flood toolkit will be helpful for early preparation and quick mitigations while staying safe. The kit is available in both Bahasa Malaysia and English here.
