Flood evacuees receive cleaning and disinfecting supplies

The recent continuous heavy rain has caused a series of floods in Johor, displacing thousands of families, with approximately 5,000 people being relocated to 51 relief centres. Families and individuals who have been forced to flee because of the flooding are struggling financially and emotionally as they attempt to recover and resume their normal lives.

Understanding the devastating impact of flooding on returning flood victims, Clorox Malaysia has stepped up to provide cleaning and disinfecting products via the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA).

“As always water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are crucial for returning flood evacuees to feel more in control as they disinfect and restart. Our thanks to Clorox Malaysia for generously contributing these disinfecting products that form the basis of the hygiene kits for returning evacuees,” says Mr. Muhammad Fauzie bin Ismail, Chief Assistant Director, NADMA. 

The items were worth more than RM 25,000 and included cleaning and disinfecting products such as Clorox Disinfecting Bleach, Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, and Clorox Disinfecting All Purpose Cleaner. Cleaning and disinfection are critical after flooding as floodwaters pose risks of communicable diseases such as leptospirosis, cholera, typhoid fever, and Hepatitis A. 

Trusted since 1913

Since 1913, Clorox has provided cleaning and disinfection solutions. Clorox Bleach is the world’s most popular bleach brand, and it has been trusted for generations to kill 99.9% of germs. Its claims are supported by data, and its products have been tried and tested by professionals and home users prior to the pandemic.

“We are glad to assist the continuous efforts by NADMA. We are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the floods and we want to help in any way we can,” Monique Gonzales, SEA Marketing Lead of The Clorox Company said.

Monique added that Clorox products can make a significant difference in assisting affected communities in cleaning and disinfecting their homes and returning to their normal routines as soon as possible.

“Clean matters, daily and even more so during disaster recovery. We are in awe of the work being done by NADMA in aid of evacuees and are supporting those returning home as their need is great during this time,” Monique added.
