The Kapar sub-district faces flood risk from both its western and eastern borders: potential river flooding when there is high sea level and large-scale flash flooding when there is stormwater runoff from its urban neighbours.  Given the frequency of the flooding incidents, it was necessary for the communities to have a proper evacuation procedure in place.  This exercise was conducted in conjunction with the government response drill, so this event was more of a evacuation route familiarization exercise rather than a community evacuation drill. 

The drill was conducted by the village leaders, community members, and the local disaster response NGOs.
