Mainstream Flood Disaster Preparedness

The floods on the east coast have become a regular fixture during monsoon season, but this year is shaping up to be one of the worst in recent record for some areas. How are relief and rescue efforts being coordinated between government authorities and civil society, and what kind of help is most needed from those on the ground? For more insights, we speak to Amran Mahzan, Executive Director of MATCH Foundation.
