Ministry of Interior partners with Ministry of Defence to mobilize forces for heavy rain in Bangkok
The Ministry of Interior has announced a collaboration with the Ministry of Defence to prepare for heavy rainfall that may affect Bangkok, with the primary goal of preventing and mitigating potential flooding in various high-risk areas throughout the capital.
This operation will involve the mobilization of heavy machinery and personnel from relevant agencies to be stationed at key locations prone to recurring flooding. Officials will work closely with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to accelerate water drainage and monitor water management systems for maximum efficiency 24 hours a day.
Furthermore, plans have been prepared for the evacuation of residents and essential belongings in case of emergencies, ensuring that citizens remain safe and experience minimal impact should flooding reach levels higher than normal.
The government requests the cooperation of residents in the Bangkok area to closely follow news and alerts from official agencies in order to prepare for weather conditions that may change at any time during this rainy season.
This collaboration between the two ministries serves as a significant proactive measure to provide reassurance to Bangkok residents and demonstrates the government's readiness to systematically address natural disaster issues.
