BELURU – The Marudi District Operations Control Centre has been closely monitoring flooded areas in Beluru following a rise in water levels caused by high tides and heavy rainfall since 13 June 2026.
Several locations in Ulu Teru were affected, with water levels recorded at 0.10 metres in the health clinic, Rh. Henry Gomes at Kampung Mission, Rh. Bat at Kampung Rian, Rh. Abok at Kampung Mulong, and Rh. Takang at Kampung Empelam. The most significant rise was observed at SK Enteri, where water reached 0.56 metres.
Bravo Squad, comprising three members and led by Pbt. (PA) Sylvia Empiang Anak Tunkai, has been deployed to monitor the situation across the district.
Their presence ensures that affected areas are under constant observation, allowing for immediate response should conditions worsen.
Authorities confirmed that the water trend is currently decreasing, with clear weather reported in the district. No Temporary Transfer Centres (PPS) have been opened, as the situation remains manageable and safe.
Residents have been advised to remain alert to changes in water levels and to evacuate if conditions become unsafe.
The Civil Defence Force emphasised the importance of community vigilance, noting that early action can prevent unnecessary risks during flood events.
The operation reflects the broader commitment of local authorities to safeguard communities against natural hazards.
Flood monitoring has become a routine measure in Sarawak, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall and tidal surges.
These efforts are part of a wider disaster preparedness strategy aimed at reducing the impact of seasonal flooding on rural and urban populations.
The slogans “Blue Heroes” and “APM Forever” were echoed during the monitoring exercise, underscoring the dedication of the Civil Defence Force in protecting lives and property.
The phrase “Ready Fast Integrity” was also highlighted, symbolising the values guiding their operations. While the current situation is under control, officials continue to stress the importance of readiness.
With unpredictable weather patterns affecting Sarawak, community cooperation remains vital in ensuring safety and resilience.
