According to the spokesman, Prime Minister Gen Prayut has ordered all units to provide assistance to disaster victims while performing repairs on damaged facilities and roads. Agencies involved in the operation are to provide regular updates to the public until the situation is resolved.
Mr. Thanakorn also said the premier has been closely monitoring the southern flood situation and has directed relevant agencies to provide swift assistance to those affected.
Seasonal rains and high tides can meanwhile be expected throughout the remainder of this year. Residents in risk areas are encouraged to stay informed on the latest weather announcements.
