Pattaya, Thailand— Nongprue Town Mayor Winai Inpitak exposed a robust flood management strategy in anticipation of heavy rains in eastern and northeastern Thailand. The Thai Meteorological Department’s alert, anticipating a high-pressure system from southern China crossing northern and northeastern areas, combined with the southwest monsoon’s influence on the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, has actually triggered him to take definitive flood preventive procedures.
Winai specified that Nongprue town has actually activated their rescue groups all the time, concentrating on both catastrophe avoidance and relief operations throughout possible flooding. “The current efforts have actually yielded favorable outcomes, changing stagnant floodwaters in the Nongprue location into waters waiting for drain. This marks substantial development because the community administration started efforts 2 years back, carrying out enhancements to drain systems and resolving flood concerns at susceptible points.” he stated.
He continued, “While development appears, 2 locations need close tracking. The Rai Vanasin Market location on Siam Nation Club Roadway, in spite of drain and culvert building and construction, does not have a water outlet. To without delay fix this, a specialist will be employed to link drain pipelines to the train location. The 2nd location of issue is near the Sarn Ta Yai shrine, where the community administration has actually asked for a budget plan from the provincial public works department for a drain pipeline building and construction. Guarantee from the department shows the start of building and construction in 2024, with a budget plan assigned for 2025 as a contingency.”
In a quote to boost interaction throughout this vital duration, the community administration has actually developed a devoted hotline (038-734934) for citizens to report flooding events. Running 24/7, authorities are all set to get reports and coordinate rescue groups. This proactive technique intends to guarantee Nongprue citizens are well-prepared for possible flooding, mitigating threats related to heavy rains, especially in low-lying locations.
