PUTRAJAYA: A new Act emphasising a holistic approach to national disaster management is being considered, says Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said engagement sessions are also being held to review National Security Council Directive No. 20.
“If there is a need, we will also look into establishing a specific Act on national disaster management to ensure we have a complete legal framework,” he told a press conference after attending the Rakan Nadma Disaster Emergency Simulation Exercise 2023 here on Friday . He added that 89 localities nationwide were stricken by floods during the north-east monsoon that began in November last year and ended in March.“I have ordered Nadma to look into these locations and ensure their preparedness for any instances of floods,” Armizan said.
“Level 1 disasters are handled by the district, Level 2 by the state and Level 3 by Nadma,” he added.
