Disaster preparedness is crucial for communities to effectively respond to unexpected crises and disaster situations. Recognizing the significance of equipping humanitarian ecosystem with comprehensive skills and knowledge, Yayasan TM (YTM), in partnership with RED A Humanitarian Development Global, recently organized the Intergovernmental & NGOs Disaster Response and Coordination Workshop for The State of Sabah (SACOORD 2024) in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Over the course of three days, this program trained 60 participants comprising Sabah State Government agencies and local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) with a structured modules that aligned with Arahan MKN 20 aimed to enhance coordination, clarify roles, and improve understanding among all stakeholders. Participants engaged in Table Top Exercises (TTX) and Simulation Exercises (SIMEX) to bolster their existing capacities, deepen their knowledge, and foster collaborative disaster response efforts utilizing their unique resources and strengths.

YTM would like to extends our appreciation to GLC Demi Rakyat & Negara (GDRN), Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA), Majlis Keselamatan Negera (MKN) Negeri Sabah and Pejabat Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri & Penyelidikan Sabah for their invaluable support in ensuring the success of SACOORD 2024. We hope that participants will effectively apply the knowledge gained from this programme in real-life disaster scenarios, fostering a collaborative ecosystem and mutual support.
