Understanding El Nino Risks in Malaysia

El Niño can bring hotter and drier conditions, with potential knock-on effects on health, water supply, air quality, homes and livelihoods. In Malaysia, this may include prolonged heat, water shortages, haze, flash floods and disruption to daily routines and businesses. 
 
Zurich Malaysia’s Climate Resilience Survey found that 74% of Malaysians are highly concerned about heatwaves, reinforcing the importance of understanding the risks before they become more disruptive.
 
Start by asking:

• Could prolonged heat affect your health or daily routine?
• Is your household prepared for possible water disruption?
• Could haze or severe weather affect your travel or work?
• Would your home or business be financially prepared if disruption occurs?

Climate readiness starts with understanding the risks and taking practical steps early. It also means considering how financially prepared you are if your health, home or business is affected.
