Nanga Ngungun Multipurpose Hall Provided Temporary Shelter for Evacuees

A total of 91 individuals evacuated due to flooding in Kanowit were temporarily housed at the Nanga Ngungun multipurpose hall. The evacuation was necessitated by continuous heavy rain that caused Sungai Ngemah to overflow, inundating several longhouses.
Evacuation Due to Flooding

The flood affected three longhouses: Rumah Nyalong Indet and Rumah Suzusie Lily Jenau in Nanga Baloh, and Rumah Langgong in Nanga Bitan. These longhouses are situated along Sungai Ngemah. Continuous heavy rainfall from Friday night led to the rising waters, with the inundation reaching approximately two feet high.

Bomba utilized the residents' longboats for the evacuation process, citing safety concerns.
