if you have twin engine plane then might as well use on board radar like the tudm's beechcraft
single plane even with optics still limited with line-of-sight and horizon.. worse if got weather problem..

tudm got 3
pdrm got 1-2? with same config

if cash strapped i would just buy more boats
at least they can go out to the sea to do their job even in severe weather

Riau declares emergency as API hits 500; Msians to be evacuated

PUTRAJAYA: The National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) is scrambling to evacuate about 280 Malaysian students from the Indonesian province of Riau in Sumatra, after a state of emergency was declared today upon the Air Pollutant Index (API) breaching the extremely hazardous level of 500.

Most of the students are in the cities of Pekanbaru and Jambi, which have been among the worst hit by smoke from forest fires raging in the province for the past few weeks, Bernama reported.

In a statement today, Nadma said that 160 students will be brought back to Malaysia, while 120 others will be evacuated to the Malaysia Hall in Jakarta in Java.

Of the 280 students, 183 are in Pekanbaru and 97 are in Jambi. Most had been studying at the Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim in Pekanbaru; and Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Thaha Saifuddin in Jambi.

The announcement on the evacuation followed a meeting on the emergency situation in Riau held by Nadma, Wisma Putra, the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) and other related bodies.

The state of emergency, which was declared on Monday by Riau governor Syamsuar, will be in effect until Oct 31.

It was reported that visibility in Riau’s main population centres has dropped to just 500 metres.

An API reading of between 0 and 50 is categorised as good, 51-100 (moderate), 101 to 200 (unhealthy), 201 to 300 (very unhealthy) and 300 and above (hazardous).
