Some 1,300 evacuees from 255 families remained at 23 relief centres in central and northern Sarawak as the flood situation improved Monday.
An official from the state flood operations room said seven relief centres were still open in Miri, six in Sibu and five each in Bintulu and Mukah.
The evacuees included 48 people from eight families in the Skuau Resettlement Area near Sibu whose homes had been affected by landslides and road cave-ins.
“They are being housed at the Skuau community hall. The Public Works Department is working to repair the road where the cave-in occured as well as other damaged roads,” the official said.
She added that the water levels in most of the flooded areas were receding as there was not much rain Monday compared with previous days.
However, she said Kuching, Samarahan, Betong, Mukah and Bintulu divisions remained under a heavy rain warning.
She also said the Miri, Mukah, Bintulu and Sibu as well as state operations rooms were still operating around the clock while others were on standby and ready to be activated at any moment.

Few years back, it was China who was hit by heavy rain that leads to a massive flood. Now they're having bad drought and we are now on the period of raining season.
It was bad, land slides everywhere and floods. To add more water into the cup, it's the King Tide period. Few cities are now become swimming pool and hometown was in the list, hope there're no Bujang Senang attacks anywhere.
