Ministry of Interior joins forces with Ministry of Defence to mobilize personnel and machinery in preparation for heavy rain in Bangkok
On September 26, the Forward Incident Command Center (FICC) held a joint meeting with the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) to plan for heavy rainfall that may affect the Bangkok metropolitan area during this period.
The Ministry of Interior has coordinated closely with the Ministry of Defence, mobilizing personnel and heavy machinery to be prepared to assist the public in the event of flooding or emergencies caused by continuous rainfall, which could make travel in Bangkok difficult.
This integrated cooperation focuses on preparing drainage equipment, organizing personnel to reach high-risk areas quickly, and coordinating between various agencies to ensure that problem-solving is efficient and minimizes the impact on the public's daily lives as much as possible.
In addition, the relevant agencies are requesting the cooperation of residents in Bangkok to closely monitor weather forecasts and official announcements in order to prepare for heavy rain and avoid routes at risk of flooding.
In summary, this cooperation between the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Defence is a proactive measure to prevent and mitigate disasters that may arise from volatile weather conditions, with a primary focus on public safety.
