KELANTAN women and family development committee chairman Rohani Ibrahim urged household heads who are residing in flood-prone areas to register through e-Bencana for smooth distribution of aid should they be relocated to temporary relief centres.

“After the e-Bencana application was developed, the state continued to expand its use through workshops for instructors or facilitators.

“The effort was taken as the government’s step to provide the best service and improve the aid distribution process during disasters,” she told Bernama.

She said to further improve, workshops were first held in the Meranti state constituency (Pasir Mas), Kelaboran (Tumpat), and Gual Periok (Rantau Panjang) and this would continue to be held in phases.

Rohani said apart from residents, non-governmental organisations and individuals involved in disaster management are also advised to register their associations in the system.

“Registration needs to be expanded to every sub-district and this could be announced in mosques,” she said adding that hands-on training are being organised for village heads, community leaders and staff of state constituency service centres.

She said the e-Bencana system was developed to centrally manage disaster information and is not applicable just for flood situations but also during other major disasters.
