ISKANDAR PUTERI, - The National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), together with the Education Mministry s identifying several locations for the construction of permanent relief centres in suitable school areas, the Johor State Legislative Assembly was told today.

State Education, Information and Communication Committee chairman Norlizah Noh said that among the criteria were strategic areas where schools are often used as relief centres.

"In addition, the locations for the permanent centres must have a suitable area or lot size.

"The proposed schools should also have been registered as relief centres, in addition to having complete infrastructures such as sufficient electricity and water supply,” she said during the winding up session at the 15th Johor State Legislative Assembly sitting at Bangunan Sultan Ismail, Kota Iskandar, here, today.

Last December, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the government planned to build permanent relief centres in schools that are often used for such purposes.
