KUALA LUMPUR: The Fire and Rescue Department will deploy two of its helicopters to help those in areas cut off by floods on the east coast.
The department's operations director Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad said teams from the air unit would be deployed to areas that could not be reached, such as Gua Musang in Kelantan, which had been cut off for the past four days.
"The air unit will be deployed to the areas to send food supplies to the victims," he said when appearing as a guest on RTM's Selamat Pagi Malaysia programme today.
Meanwhile, Nor Hisham advised the public to postpone their trip to resort areas in flood-affected states.
He also reminded parents to always monitor their children to prevent untoward incidents. -- BERNAMA
