2. Disaster Preparedness & Response Training
CREST was invited by Penang Christian Center, Kepong Chinese Methodist Church and Malaysia CARE (Kampar), to conduct training to the local community. This month alone, we have trained more than 100 volunteers equipping the locals not just to prepare for disaster, but to respond when it happens.

“We have attended the disaster preparedness training and now many are looking forward to attend the disaster response training beginning of November 2018.” – Volunteer from Penang Christian Center. |

“After attended the disaster preparedness and response training, we found we have done everything wrongly in our Kelantan and Penang flood response. I hope we can invite CREST again to train our local volunteers” – Head of the PKSK Emergency Rescue Team in Kepong. |

“We enjoyed the training and we need more practical, now we need to start preparing the emergency basket (Go-bag)” – Participant from Orang Asli, Semai. |
