KUALA BELAIT, Thursday, 11 November 2021 – After the occurrence of the recent heavy rain causing subsequent flooding and landslide in parts of Kuala Belait, the Royal Brunei Land Force (RBLF) deployed the Combat Engineers Squadron, Support Battalion RBLF (CES, Sp Bn RBLF) and Third Battalion RBLF (3Bn RBLF), to assist in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations.
Among those badly affected were lowland areas in Kampong Rampayoh and several residential areas and main roads inaccessible, particularly in Kampong Sungai Mau. The RBLF was also assisted by the Public Works Department (PWD).
The 3Bn RBLF provided manpower, 4-tonner and Damien boats as ferry services to the affected residents in Kampong Sungai Mau for their daily routine. In addition, an Incident Command Post (ICP) was also activated at the Kampong Sungai Mau Multi-Purpose Hall involving several government agencies. The ICP consists of the Belait District Department, Royal Brunei Police Force, Belait District Fire and Rescue Operations Branch ‘B’, and Emergency Medical Ambulance Services Brunei Darussalam (EMAS).
Meanwhile, continued mobility support has also been provided to the residents of Kampong Rampayoh by fixing the eroded roads that connect the main road to the bridge at the village. The CES, Sp Bn RBLF and Assault Pioneer Platoon 3Bn RBLF (AP 3Bn RBLF) helped build a Medium Girder Bridge (MGB) as a temporary bridge while waiting for the road to be completely repaired. Other assistance rendered includes building the handle post as an alternative route for the pedestrians in the village.
As Brunei Darussalam is currently experiencing adverse weather conditions, the RBLF will continue to work with the District Disaster Management Centre (DDMC) Committee and other agencies in aiding the affected residents.
