GEORGE TOWN: Homes for senior citizens here are taking precautionary measures to ensure their residents stay safe and hydrated during the present dry spell.
Persatuan Syukur Penyayang Pulau Pinang founder Peter Tan said they are monitoring the haze situation closely.“At times, we also allow them to take their meals at the dining area, which is partially outdoors.
“We are monitoring the weather daily and if it gets worse, we will not let them do outdoor activities.“In the rooms, we have an air cooler to help them deal with the weather as well,” he said. Meanwhile, the haze coming in with the heat has resulted in the water levels at all three dams depleting. “We are going to face a serious dry season from May to August this year, except for some rain in the late evenings.
