National water agency PUB on Nov 20 launched its first campaign to encourage the public to be ready for floods amid erratic weather and more intense storms caused by climate change.
The public is advised to follow these tips:
• Follow PUB flood alerts
• Learn how to be flood-ready
• Avoid flooded areas
• Share PUB flood updates
• Help others where possible
In addition to campaign posters and a video clip, PUB said it is working with the likes of ride-hailing company CDG Zig, Grab and the Motorist platform to share flood safety tips with its users.
The agency is also working with Grab to push out flood alerts to its drivers and food delivery riders via its app, by 2025.
From Dec 2, drivers can also collect a Flood-Wise Drive car decal from any Esso station. Vehicles spotted with the decal from Dec 2 to 22 stand to win $100 worth of FairPrice vouchers.
