(Bandar Seri Begawan, 31st) Consecutive days of heavy rainfall have continued to batter many areas in Brunei, triggering floods, landslides, and fallen trees, thus posing serious challenges to residents’ lives and traffic safety. The Brunei Fire and Rescue Department issued the latest bulletin this morning, stating that from yesterday (December 30) until early this morning, authorities have handled a total of 15 emergency incidents related to severe weather.
According to official data, on December 29 alone, the Fire and Rescue Department received seven reports of fallen trees and one case of landslide. On December 30, the severe weather persisted and disaster situations continued to escalate. Authorities were dispatched to handle three landslide cases, one fallen tree incident, and three requests for drainage assistance.
Continuous heavy rainfall has caused severe water accumulation in some areas, destabilized foundations leading to landslides, and blocked certain roads, restricting residents’ movement. Fortunately, thanks to the swift response and clearing efforts of rescue personnel, affected areas have gradually resumed traffic, and the waterlogging situation has also begun to ease.
The Fire and Rescue Department reminds the public to remain vigilant during periods of extreme weather, avoid going to low-lying or landslide-prone areas, and closely follow official weather warnings and safety announcements, prioritizing personal safety above all else.
