\r\nThe 2017 Major Floods<\/strong>
\r\nThe recent floods in November 2017 that hit the northwest states of Peninsular Malaysia devastated Penang, Bukit Mertajam, Kepala Batas and several other locations, killing several and displacing thousands from their homes. It was a catastrophe that hit the region unexpectedly with prolonged rainfall. \r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\nThe major floods in Penang that took several lives, paralyzed the city, cut-off communication and delayed rescue efforts.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\nTune Protect Emergency Flood Relief<\/strong>
\r\nIn line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 3 and 11 which promote Good Health & Well-Being, and Personal Safety, Tune Protect urgently facilitated an Emergency Flood Relief Mission costing RM50,000 with the help of Malaysia International Search & Rescue (MISAR). MISAR managed to mobilise trucks fully laden with boxes full of living essentials, hit the road in the wee hours of the morning and made their way straight for schools, homes and badly affected areas.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\nMISAR to the Rescue<\/strong>
\r\nBy sunrise, MISAR\u2019s rescue vehicles arrived at affected areas and cautiously ploughed through flood waters. Power supply was cut-off in many places by fallen trees and landslides, which also obstructed access and severed communications channels. The mission continued with the distribution of dry food, bottled water, pillows, blankets, buckets, toiletries, diapers and sanitary napkins to residents, some of whom were walking aimlessly in desperate search for help and supplies.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nTune Protect Emergency Flood Donation Drive & Flood Advisory <\/strong>
\r\nBack in Kuala Lumpur, Tune Protect staff raised funds internally for our colleagues affected by the floods after a few of them were relocated to Flood Relief Centers when the water levels reached dangerous levels. The Tune Protect Emergency Flood Advisory was also circulated to help employees cope with their circumstances safely. In addition to distributing living essentials, MISAR was also on standby to conduct \u2018Search & Rescue\u2019 missions while on location. Fortunately, the rain stopped, the water began receding slowly and the situation improved with time. \r\n<\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[25],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4546"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4546"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4546\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6285,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4546\/revisions\/6285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
