# National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) Relief

What Is It

The National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) under the Prime Minister's Department coordinates Malaysia's disaster relief policies. During major seasonal floods, NADMA manages evacuation plans, coordinates Temporary Evacuation Centers (Pusat Pemindahan Sementara - PPS) with JKM, and administers the Bantuan Wang Ihsan (BWI) financial cash aid for disaster-affected families.

Who Is Eligible

  • Malaysian citizens whose registered residential houses have been damaged or affected by natural disasters (floods, landslides, storms) verified by district officers.

    • Required Documents

  • Copy of MyKad.
  • Police Report (Laporan Polis) verifying the premises was affected by the natural disaster.
  • Verification letter from the local Village Head (Penghulu/Ketua Kampung) or District Officer (Pegawai Daerah).
  • Photos of damage (for property claims).

    • Step-by-Step Procedure

    1. Evacuate to PPS: During a flood, follow rescue instructions to evacuate to the designated JKM Temporary Evacuation Center (PPS). Register your presence at the PPS registration desk. 2. File Police Report: Once safety permits, file a police report at the nearest station detailing the damage. 3. Register for BWI Aid: Submit the BWI cash aid application form at your local District Office (Pejabat Daerah) or JKM registry counter at the PPS. Attach the police report and a copy of your MyKad. 4. Verification Audit: District officers visit the location or verify records against the official PPS registration list. 5. Aid Disbursement: Approved applicants receive the cash assistance (Bantuan Wang Ihsan - RM1,000 per affected household) distributed at local community halls or credited to bank accounts.

  • Cost: Free of charge.
  • Benefits: RM1,000 Bantuan Wang Ihsan cash handout. Up to RM10,000 is provided to families of deceased victims.
