This year's theme, 'Creating Resilient Communities through Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation’, highlights the urgent need to build stronger, more adaptable communities in the face of global challenges.

By taking climate actions such as practising the 3Rs and adopting energy-saving habits, all of us can play a part in building a more resilient and #SustainableSG 🌱💪

YAY! Swimming and primary contact water activities such as wakeboarding, windsurfing and jet skiing can now resume at East Coast Park. 
 
We have been monitoring the beach water quality closely and are happy to share that it has returned to normal and stabilised. The resumption of these activities reflects the success of our clean-up efforts.
 
A big THANK YOU to our cleaners, partners and volunteers for their collective effort and support.

Give your e-waste a second life by recycling them this International E-waste Day 📱💻♻️

Find out more about how to recycle your e-waste at go.gov.sg/e-waste

Let’s also reduce the amount of e-waste generated by:
- Considering if you really need to buy new a product or if the current one can be repaired
- Choosing second-hand products over new products
- Donating devices that are in good condition to those who could put them to better use

#DidYouKnow rainfall in Singapore is not evenly distributed across the island? The central and western parts experience more rain compared to the eastern side. 🌧️

One reason is due to Sumatra squalls, which are common during this time of year. These are lines of thunderstorms that arrive in the morning, moving from west to east. Most of the rain is therefore experienced in the west, as the intensity diminishes as the thunderstorm travels eastwards.
