KUANTAN: Raub has fully recovered from the monsoon floods which struck the district on Thursday, after the remaining 46 evacuees left the SK Chenua flood relief centre at 6pm today.
State Civil Defence Force (APM) director Zainal Yusoff said all seven relief centres in the district which were opened on Thursday night are now officially closed.
"The floods have completely receded and the weather has improved. However, the authorities will continue to remain on standby to respond to any eventualities.
"A total of 13 villagers were affected by the floods and initial investigations reveled the existing drains at the villages could not accommodate the excessive water capacity during the heavy rains," he said.
