For the fourth year, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) is having its Natural Disaster Operations Room on stand-by during the Aidilfitri festive season.
Our 30-man rescue squad, consisting of employees from various departments, will respond to the distress call from the public in case of emergency.
The squad, which is trained in rescue skills, is divided into three teams and will be on duty round the clock from Sept 8 to 19.
Three members from each of our 22 departments will be on stand-by, too, in 12-hour shifts. They will join the rescue squad if anything happens during their shifts.
In the past, we had taken swift action during the holiday seasons when flood, fire and thunderstorm occurred, and this year we are not letting our guard down.
The public can call our 24-hour hotline at 03-5637 6545 for rescue assistance. Our squad members will be alerted immediately and they will report to the operations room as soon as possible.
Once they are back, they will gather the necessary equipment, such as walkie-talkie sets and boats, before setting off to the affected site.
Meanwhile, the hotline unit will contact the relevant departments, such as Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba), police, Social Welfare Department, Civil Defence Force (JPA 3), Rela and ambulance, for further assistance.
Besides providing food aid, we will evacuate the victims if necessary.
We have identified several locations to relocate the victims, including the Enggang Apartments in Bandar Kinrara 6, Kampung Tengah Community Hall, Taman Sri Puchong Community Hall, Kinrara Section 1 Multipurpose Hall, Taman Mawar Community Hall in Puchong, Sri Kayan Apartments and Taman Intan Community Hall in Batu 3, Shah Alam, 3K Complex in Seri Kembangan and the MPSJ Indoor Stadium in Serdang Jaya.
The squad is required to keep the command post in the operations room informed half-hourly or hourly, and they will in turn relay the information to me or deputy MPSJ president.
I see strong commitment in MPSJ employees, who do not hesitate to serve even during the festive season.
