Military personnel exercise rehearsals with members of the police, fire brigades, red cross, social rescue groups and locals in Pinlaung township of southern Shan State, at the cyclone centre in Nathmaw village in Chaungzon township of Mon State and the Khamti Station in Sagaing Region.

South-West Command Commander Brig-Gen Kyi Khine and officials met and provided relief supplies to people in Labutta and Myaungmya townships. They also inspected cyclone shelters in Ziywelay and Thingangyi villages in Labutta township.

Furthermore, coordination meetings of the Natural Disaster Management Committee are held at the Rakhine State government office in Sittway and the Chin State government office in Haka, respectively.
