Current and Forecasted Regional Weather and Smoke Haze (based on satellite imagery and meteorological observation) Scattered hotspots were detected over northern and central parts of Sumatra. Smoke haze from some hotspots in Riau was observed to spread eastward to the Strait of Malacca. Localised smoke plumes were visible in central parts of Sumatra and Borneo. 1. The hotspots depicted in the map are derived from the NOAA-18 satellite. Hotspots go undetected when the area is not covered in the satellite pass or under cloudy / overcast conditions. 2. The surface winds (depicted by arrows in the map) are valid for 0600 UTC on the date indicated in the map. The length of the arrow represents the relative wind speed - longer arrows correspond to stronger winds. Click here for corresponding 0630 UTC satellite picture.

Department of Environment Parks and Recreation is still continuing its role in monitoring the
4 5. Resources Mobilised and Actions Taken (based on reports received, please indicate actions taken quality of air and also ground surveillance for open burning activities. ii. Fire and Rescue Department has also been continuing in the measure to conduct air and ground surveillance for any fires incidence. iii. Department of Meteorological Services is also continuing in providing information on weather situation. Indonesia i. A total of 306 military and police personnel were deployed to extinguish land and forest fire in Riau. ii. Weather modification and aerial water bombing is still being conducted in Riau. Malaysia At National Level i. The National Committee to Address the El Nino Phenomenon held its inaugural meeting on 30 June 2014 to discuss government s preparation to reduce the negative impact of the El Nino on the environment and public health. Among others, the government via the National Security Council would mobilise a task force comprising officers from various government agencies to monitor and take action to curb open burning and peat fires, and conduct cloud seeding operation to mitigate haze impact ii. The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to prevent open burning and peatland fires had been activated since 4 February 2014, as well as strengthening enforcement actions on smoky vehicles, emission from industries and earth works activities; iii. Aerial and ground surveillance to curb open burning throughout the country and as well as all hotspots (open fires) detected by satellite image NOAA18 were verified accordingly through ground thruthing; iv. Prohibition order on open burning had been issued by the Director General of Environment for the state of Selangor effective on 10th March 2014, for the states of Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya on 13th March The prohibition applies to all open burning except for crematorium, burning for religious purposes, grill/barbeque and gas flaring. The prohibition orders are still effective; v. Continuous air quality monitoring to detect changes in air quality status through a network of 52 monitoring stations nationwide; vi. Taking stern legal action that is filing cases for court action against culprits or landowners that carry out open burning at construction sites, industrial areas and plantations, dump sites and for other cases of small fires a maximum compound of RM2000 will be imposed for each spot or open burning case; vii. Notices were issued to all local councils to closely monitor landfill areas under their jurisdiction to prevent open burning; viii. Enhancing communication system at DOE operation rooms that open for 24 hours daily to receive public complaints on environmental pollution includes open burning cases; ix. Close monitoring on water level in high risk peatland areas so as to avoid excessive loss of water or water level becomes too low during dry period. In this regard, effective pumping of tube wells and maintenance of check dams is further enhance; x. Public awareness and more aggressive campaign on prohibition of open burning; and xi. A more aggressive enforcement action will be exercised with the amendments of the
5 5. Resources Mobilised and Actions Taken (based on reports received, please indicate actions taken Environmental Quality Act (EQA) 1974 in 2012 where a new provision was introduced that DOE officers were granted power to arrest any person who commit or attempt to commit open burning. Subsequent to this amendment, 194 DOE's enforcement officers were granted the power under Section 37C, EQA and had been trained to carry out any arrest under this provision. At Regional Level i. Malaysia hosted the first meeting of the ASEAN Task Force to review alert levels and formulate trigger points on fire suppression on June ii. Director General of DOE Malaysia wrote a letter dated 24 June 2014 to her counterpart in Indonesia to express concern on the current transboundary haze situation Singapore Singapore has been providing hotspot coordinates to Indonesia to facilitate their fire detection and ground enforcement operations. Singapore will continue to provide high resolution satellite pictures of fires detected by the satellites. The inter-agency Haze Task Force (HTF), involving 23 government agencies, convened four meetings this year on 15 January, 6 March, 17 March and 20 May to review the Whole-of- Government contingency plans and plan ahead for the dry season. Thailand Action taken under Fire Suppression Mobilisation Plan level 1 (situation under control). Regional i. On 16 June 2014 the ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC) advised the ASEAN Secretariat as the Interim ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Transboundary Haze Pollution Control (Interim ACC) on the start of dry season in the southern ASEAN region. In this regard, in accordance with the SOP for Monitoring, Assessment and Joint Emergency Response, the Interim ACC activated submission of weekly situation report (Form 1) by the National Monitoring Centres on every Monday, starting 23 June ii. On 24 June 2014, the ASMC advised the Interim ACC that in the past few days drier weather conditions over the region have led to an escalation of hotspots in Sumatra, mostly in Riau province. Dry weather conditions are likely to persist in central parts of Sumatra over the next few days. Transboundary smoke haze is expected to affect other parts of the region should the hotspot activities in Sumatra continue to persist. Based on this situation, and following the advice given by the ASMC, the Interim ACC issued Alert Level 2 for Sumatra, and activated the daily submission of Form 1 by the concerned NMCs, starting 26 June iii. On 2 July 2014, with reference to the advice from the ASMC, the Interim ACC downgraded Alert Level 2 to Alert level 1 for Sumatra, and starting Monday, 8 July 2014, submission of situation report (Form 1) was done on a weekly basis. iv. On 20 July 2014 the ASMC reported that drier weather conditions over the region in the past
6 5.

Smoke plumes were visible from some of the hotspots. The dry weather conditions are likely to persist in the central parts of Sumatra in the next few days, and transboundary smoke haze is expected to affect other parts of the region should the hotspot activities in Sumatra continue to persist. Based on the situation, and following the advice given by the ASMC, The Interim ACC Issued the Alert Level 2 for Sumatra, and the daily submission of Form 1 was activated starting 22 July See attachment (please attach relevant information) 6.

Members of the Panel of ASEAN Experts on Fire and Haze Assessment and Coordination should anticipate and prepare for possible deployment during this dry season. In accordance with the SOP for Monitoring, Assessment and Joint Emergency Response (Section III.A.2, page 2), NMCs from Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand are requested to provide the situation report (Form 1) on a daily basis and provide the duly-completed Form 1 to the ASEAN Secretariat as the Interim ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Transboundary Haze Pollution Control (ACC) before 11 a.m. (Jakarta s time) everyday starting 22 July Signed by: Signature Agusmantono ASEAN Secretariat as Interim ASEAN Centre
