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.
