SHAH ALAM, AUG 11: Disaster and crisis monitoring is expected to be enhanced through the Smart Selangor Command Centre (SSCC).
Head of Assistant Secretary, Disaster Management Unit (DMU), Ahmad Fairuz Mohd Yusof said SSCC which is equipped with the latest technology enables a more comprehensive, efficient and swift disaster monitoring in relevant areas.
He said, it includes weather, sea-level, air pollution index, flood, satellite and climate radar monitoring.

“They also have experts who monitor regularly, making it a highly innovative centre,” he said as quoted by Smart Selangor Newsletter August 2017 edition.
Last August 1, DMU started its basic operation in SSDU and plans to fully operate there this September 1.
Recently, DMU led by Ahmad Fairuz visited SSCC at the Smart Selangor Delivery Unit (SSDU) office and was greeted by its Deputy Director, Dr Fahmi Ngah.
