The Mon State Government was provided K100 billion in funds for disaster preparedness by KBZ’s Brighter Future Myanmar Foundation-BFM yesterday becoming the 13th state to receive such a fund.

The BFM has established such funds (K100 million apiece) since June and has spent K1.3 billion in the process across 13 regions and states.

Mon State Chief Minister U Min Min Oo accepted the donation yesterday.

The assistance is aimed at giving a helping hand to regional governments to quickly respond to disasters in their respective regions as several regions and states are experiencing flooding.
