How many Bercham families were officially identified after the June 19 storm?

Question

Accepted Answer

Nearly 460 Bercham families were officially identified after the June 19 storm.

Nearly 460 affected families had been identified in Bercham after the June 19 storm. The number was expected to rise because some homeowners had not yet lodged official reports with the authorities.
The figure was based on damage reports collected in the area
Bercham state assemblyman Ong Boon Piow said the estimate reflected damage to homes, belongings, and other facilities. He said the assessment had already placed losses at more than RM1.2 million.
More cases were still expected to be recorded
Ong said some houses were rented out, left vacant, or owned by people who were away when the storm hit. That meant the official count could increase once more reports were filed.
The storm hit several residential areas in Bercham
The storm affected more than 200 houses across five residential areas after nearly two hours of continuous heavy rain and strong winds. The impact was severe enough to trigger damage assessments and cash aid for each affected family.
Aid had already been distributed to affected households
Each affected family received RM1,000 in cash assistance from the Social Welfare Department, the National Disaster Management Agency, and the state government. The Ministry of Housing and Local Government was also assessing further assistance based on the damage data collected.
