630 people (157 families) still residing in Temporary Evacuation Centres (PPS)
87 homes completely destroyed
148 homes damaged
85 homes in Taman Harmoni cleared for return
2 individuals in ICU
Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru is still not safe to re-enter

Operational Impact for SPCA Selangor (Animal Relief)

1. Wider Area & More Potential Pet Cases
With 308 families affected and 87 homes destroyed, the number of pet cases may continue to rise as more owners return or come forward.

2. Prolonged Field Presence
Based on the councillors latest verbal update, no end date is confirmed, but operations may last up to 2 weeks.
This requires sustained support and structured team rotation to avoid burnout and resource gaps.

3. Continued Need for Shelter & Support
Since 630 people are still in PPS, many of their pets may still be displaced, unclaimed, or in need of boarding and food support.
Our planned centralised supply system and mobile support will be crucial for this group.

4. Shifting Focus
As access to more homes is cleared, our strategy must transition:
From: Search & Rescue + Emergency Response
To: Ongoing support, medical care, and supply continuity for pet owners rebuilding their lives



What We Need to Do Next
Prepare for extended deployment or redirections to nearby resources
Scale our animal tracking and foster coordination system
Begin mapping pets per PPS family, especially for those still unable to return home
Keep clear records of rescued but unclaimed animals
Hold coordination with PPS and Majlis to ensure future supply drop-off logistics are integrated with human aid flow
