Community Activity Planning with DRR Experts – Kg. Sg. Serai

Venue: Demense Hall, Hulu Langat District and Land Office

Date: March 22, 2023

The Community Activity Planning is a workshop whereby the community leaders and local champions and DRR experts work together in selecting one or two DRR activities for the communities to implement under the SeDAR Program.

This process entailed (1) a group discussion on the feasibility of a range of potential DRR actions to implement, (2) shortlist to a few strong potential actions, and (3) prioritize, identify and select one to two feasible activities.

As input to the discussion, a list of 23 suggestions for community action that was drafted during the community mapping session on March 12, 2023 was reviewed by the communities and the experts.

Out of this, the DRR experts and the communities identified 4 activities to be implemented under the SeDAR program:

Public warning system: Design and print posters and fridge magnets showing locations of evacuation centres and actions to take when flood sirens activate

Public warning system: Design and print 2 feet x 3 feet signages designed and posted up at evacuation centres

Community education and preparedness: Conduct community evacuation drill

Community awareness and education: Conduct a plogging family day to create awareness of drainage system cleaning to prevent flash floods
